My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

DUKE is pure joy wrapped in a big, happy grin. This cheerful, goâ€‘withâ€‘theâ€‘flow guy LOVES his walks and lights up the moment he knows it’s adventure time. He’s still learning not to chase squirrels and other speedy little critters, so he’ll do best with a confident handler who can help him stay focused when excitement strikes. Around other dogs, DUKE is curious and polite. He tends to choose female playmates, but honestly, he’s the kind of dog who just wants to get along with everyone. Toys are his love language, and cool weather turns him into an absolute delight — he does the cutest little hops at the start of every walk when the temperature drops. DUKE would make a fantastic hiking buddy. He naturally prefers to walk single file ahead of his person, taking in the world with enthusiasm while still checking in. He’s also a big fan of car rides and will happily join you for any outing. This boy is deeply peopleâ€‘oriented. If left alone outside, he’ll try his best to get back to his humans, so he’ll need a sturdy enclosure or, even better, someone who enjoys having him close. Indoors, he’s a gentleman — he sleeps in his crate every night without a fuss. DUKE is ready for a life filled with adventure, companionship, and someone who appreciates his big heart and bigger personality.

Additional adoption info

We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $500 which is tax deductible as we are a federally approved 501(c)3 charity.
We have fencing and/or kennel requirements as malamutes can not be trusted to not roam.

We are looking for forever homes for our rescue dogs, and homechecks will be performed for all adopters, no exceptions. We love these dogs, and want what is best for them, we assume our adopters would want the same. Plus, the homecheck lets everyone meet each other, get to ask and answer questions, and make sure we match the right dog for the right family for that perfect match that will last a lifetime!

WAMAL is strictly internet based. Most of all our correspondence will be via email, typically during the odd hours of the night that our volunteers are able to donate time. The dogs in our rescue are taken into the homes and lives of our volunteers, there is no shelter to visit. There is no phone number to call. We are sorry for this, but with over 200 volunteers and over 100 dogs a year, there just is not an easy way to coordinate a statewide rescue other than through email.

More about this rescue

WAMAL was formed in 1998 to help with Malamute Rescue in the greater NorthWest area to cover rescue needs outside of the scope of Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue by Cindy Neely. Since that time we have rescued on average between 70 and 100 Malamutes a year and have rescued hundreds to date. While none of this would have originally happened without a small few, it's the numerous (but sometimes still too few) volunteers that make rescue happen. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and locations. Most are already overworked and too busy in their personal lives to start, but donating their time to rescue truly is what makes it possible to save the lives of this gentle and loving working breed... our Mals. The pride (and pain) of our lives.
