Alaskan Malamute puppies and dogs in Gardner, Massachusetts

Meet Malibu and Diesel, the ultimate senior “odd couple” who have spent their entire lives bonded and would love start their next chapter still together. They came to the shelter because their family sadly lost housing. Malibu is a stunning 100 lb., 10-year-old Malamute with a soft heart behind her initially shy demeanor. Give her a little time (and maybe a treat or two), and she quickly warms up into a loyal, affectionate and super smart companion. She prefers a quieter home with calm, responsible adults and/ or teens. True to her breed, Malibu has a signature Malamute howl that is so iconic she even taught a Chihuahua at the shelter to join in!Diesel is her easygoing counterpart. He is a social, confident guy who enjoys meeting new people and brings a laid-back charm wherever he goes. He’s looking for adopters who understand and can keep up with his typical care needs, and in return, he offers steady companionship and a great personality. Diesel will need adopters who are dedicated to his need to keep his skin/coat clean and fresh. Together, they balance each other beautifully. This pair have so much personality, sweet, soulful, and full of character. Malibu and Diesel are ready to bring double the love to a home that will cherish them both.If you are interested in adopting this bonded pair, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm, with all of your household members. If you are unable to come during those times please email Dogs@WorcesterARL.org for times that we may have available by appointment.

I rescued Sadie when she was 2 years old in California. She was badly neglected, malnourished, and under socialized with other dogs and people. There has been many challenges (bites and food aggression) with Sadie. The bites didn’t need stitches. She likes to think she’s the alpha and is hard headed. Over the last 8 years we’ve done a lot of professional training with Sadie. She is crate trained, e-collar trained, has good heel, place, and recall skills, and knows a few tricks. Sadie loves being outside. She knows how to use a dog door and will sit out on our backyard patio for hours hunting squirrels. She recently started a new prescription of fluoxetine (Prozac). My wife and I are expecting our first child and unfortunately we don’t feel comfortable trusting Sadie. We’re hoping to find someone that can giving Sadie a few more good years. Things Sadie likes:Biking, hiking, the beach, walks around the neighborhood, pup cups, treats, but most of all a good set of hands for pets.

Meet Midnight — the tall, stunning, floppy-eared dreamboat with eyes as warm as melted chocolate and a coat that glows like bronze in the sunshine! 🌙✨ This 3-year-old Malamute/Husky mix (we think!) is basically the canine version of a supermodel… if that supermodel also happened to be a total goofball who loves belly rubs, splashy pool parties, and zooming in circles just for the joy of it. From the moment you meet him, Midnight’s charm is impossible to resist. He’s got that big, easy grin, a tail that never stops wagging, and a “hi, I love you already” kind of energy that makes you instantly fall head over heels. When we met him, he popped his head out the car window just to say hello — tail thumping, eyes sparkling, already making friends before his paws even hit the ground. That’s Midnight in a nutshell: confident, happy, and so full of life. Watch Midnight's personality shine in his video! https://youtu.be/zD5VOftQENw?si=Q2MOviX1hAr6ljAz He’s also seriously affectionate. The minute you crouch down, he leans his whole big body into you for pets and kisses, like he’s trying to soak up every ounce of love you’ll give him (and then some). He’s that perfect mix of adventure dog and cuddle bug — equally thrilled to go on a long hike or flop beside you on the couch like a giant, fuzzy blanket with legs. And when it comes to dog friends? Midnight is an absolute blast. 🎉 He’s super social and loves to play rough-and-rowdy style with his buddies — big bouncy play bows, zooming laps, goofy wrestling, and lots of splashing in the kiddie pool mid-play just because he can. He does great with confident, playful dogs (especially sassy females who can keep up and tell him when to chill). He’s got that big personality that other confident dogs love, and once the play settles, he’s happy to lounge and soak up the vibes. He’s the kind of dog who’d be perfect for someone who loves adventures — hikes, beach trips, park playdates, or just neighborhood strolls where everyone stops to say “wow, he’s gorgeous!” (which, trust us, they will). Despite being part husky, Midnight’s surprisingly quiet — he doesn’t have much to say, he just wags, wiggles, and wins hearts wherever he goes. Midnight would thrive in a home with a yard to romp around in or an active person or family who wants a loyal, silly, handsome sidekick for all their outings. He’d do great with kids and loves being part of the fun. He’s one of those dogs that just fits right into the rhythm of family life — happy to go, happy to stay, as long as he’s got his people and plenty of love. Did we mention how ridiculously good-looking he is? Because truly, this boy could be on the cover of Dog Vogue. His rich brown coat shines in the light, his fur looks like velvet, and his expressive face always looks like he’s smiling. Add in his long legs, fluffy tail, and slightly dorky zoomies, and you’ve got yourself a dog who’s both model material and comedian of the year. Midnight is the total package — stunning, sweet, playful, and full of personality. He’s the kind of dog that turns heads, steals hearts, and makes every day brighter just by being his big, silly, perfect self. 💕 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

As a rescue, We do not euthanize dogs but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or have an adopter. Meet APHRODITE she is a sweet dog friendly and fully vetted.
