My story

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

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

Meet JAK, a one‑year‑old powerhouse of enthusiasm with a sweet heart and a whole lot of puppy spirit packed into a strong, athletic body. He’s the kind of dog who thrives on fresh air, open space, and adventure—he genuinely prefers spending his days outside exploring, playing, and soaking up the world around him.

Because he’s been an outdoor‑loving guy, Jak’s coat could use a good grooming session, and his skin shows signs of past irritation that are already improving with care. With a little TLC, he’s going to look and feel fantastic.

Jak is incredibly friendly and loves people, but he’s still very much a student of life. He’ll need a home ready to invest in consistent training, structure, and plenty of exercise. He’s smart, eager, and already knows sit and shake, and he’s working hard on stay. He walks on a leash, rides well in the car, loves toys, enjoys fetch, and has a playful, even‑tempered personality. He’s also independent and clever—traits that make him fun, but also can be an escape artist if left to his own devices.

Around other dogs and humans Jack has shown great behavior. But he does have one very clear boundary: no chickens or ducks. His prey drive kicks in around livestock, and he’ll need a home without them.

Jak is the perfect match for someone who loves an active, intelligent dog and is excited about guiding him into adulthood. With the right person—someone patient, consistent, and ready for a high‑energy companion—Jak will grow into an incredible, loyal partner.

If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited dog who’s bursting with potential, Jak might be the one who steals your heart.

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!

Adoption application

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.
