Story
Carson came to us from a puppy mill farm that closed down. He lived in a 10x10 run since he was a puppy with little human interaction. He is shy and timid but has learned so much in the little bit of time we have had him. He is a sweet deserving guy that will blossom with a patient family that can introduce him to life outside of a 10x10 run. He is looking for stability and someone to love. He would benefit from living with a female dog companion who can help show him what home life is like.

Story
Violet came to us from a kill shelter with Diesel who has already been adopted. Violet has been waiting for a year now to find her family. She is so deserving and loving. Violet is a young, bouncy, happy girl, who is ready for family to love her. Violet would be happiest being the only dog in the home where she can get all the attention she deserves. Violet is a sweet, affectionate, smaller girl at 60lbs. and approximately a year and a half old. She is looking for a family with a fenced in yard and no small animals please. *********************************** If you are interested in ADOPTING or FOSTERING, please complete an application by cutting & pasting the following link: https://form.jotform.com/60794585351161 Or visit CHAAMP.org to access the Adoption/Foster link and learn about the process. https://www.chaamp.org/adoption-process Your application tells us about your lifestyle and helps us find a potential match for you and your family. We are happy to work with you. For example, if you don't have a fence, we can help find alternatives and/or a dog that will do well without a fence. A home visit is required prior to adoption/fostering. You can visit the malamute(s) once you've completed the process. Alternatively, you may volunteer and learn how rewards-based training brings out the best in malamutes. ********************************* CHAAMP accepts applications from Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington DC. ADOPTION FEES ~Senior dogs (8+ years old): $100.00 ~Adult dogs (2 years up to 8): $300.00 ~Puppies (6 months - 2 years): $350.00 ~Puppies under 6 months: $375 All Malamutes are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Puppy fees are higher due to more vet visits and vaccines. The adoption fee helps us cover these costs. ********************************* We highly recommend the following links that you will need to cut and paste: Kathy Sdao’s SMART x 50 (Capture & Reward Good Behavior) https://babysafedogtraining.com/kathy-sdaos-smart-x-50-another-way-to-use-1000-treats/ Building Your Dog's Confidence by Victoria Stilwell (FREE Online Course) https://www.vsdogtrainingacademy.com/enroll/demo/ Shy Adopters Guide https://www.shelterdogplay.org/_files/ugd/7c885c_2f9fe1f87ea24376912b6e0b18e41998.pdf ********************************* CHAAMP is not a shelter and is run by 100% volunteers. CHAAMP is a proud rescue member of the Pet Professional Guild. We say no thank you to Shock, Prong, Choke, Pain, Force, and Fear.

Story
Bella is a young typical female Malamute that has a big personality and is ready for fun and adventures. She is a sweet girl who is spunky and knows what she wants. She would do best in a home with someone who understands the breed and their needs. She is a wooly and will need grooming periodically as well. She would also like to be the only pup in the home. She does well car rides, is potty trained and has lived in a home before. She will also need a fenced in yard so she can get her zoomies in!

Story
Meet Zeus & ApolloMeet Zeus and Apollo, two big, sweet boys who are still learning how to be dogs! We believe these 7-month-old boys are brothers, although we can’t be certain. What we do know is that they are already nearly 70 pounds each - and they aren’t finished growing yet!We believe Zeus and Apollo are Great Pyrenees mixes, possibly mixed with Golden Retriever. They appear to have been bred as livestock guardian dogs, and their behavior certainly fits that background. When they arrived as strays, they acted as though they had never been inside a building or walked on a leash. They are getting much better, but they will need patient families who understand their needs and are willing to continue teaching them.Zeus and Apollo must go to a farm or similar home where they can have a job as livestock guardian dogs. They are not looking for a life spent sitting inside the house all day. They need room to work, explore and use the instincts they were bred for. Because of their size and energy, we are also recommending no small children.Both boys are very sweet and seem to enjoy other dogs. We think canine companionship would be especially good for them.These boys are going to be BIG dogs with BIG hearts. They need the right kind of home—one that understands what a livestock guardian dog is and can give them the space, purpose and guidance they need to thrive.
