Story
I adopted Gorgy a few months ago from a shelter. Unfortunately many things have changed in my life, including a termination from my job which forces me to have to move away somewhere more affordable. I have professionally trained Gorgy recently, he has been socialized a lot at daycare and many other natural settings, due to my active lifestyle. He does not get along well with some breeds, that dont get his playful nature as a Alaskan Malamute. And he is more of a lone wolf kinda character. Very very gentle with people and overall around dogs too. But can not be left alone with other strangers dogs all day or half day at daycares. I want to find him a family where at least one of the parents has time to spend with him, and if the kids can do that too, it'll be a great environment for him. With our busy lifestyle and recent changes, and moves, we have to find him a new loving home that has the time and energy for this beautiful dog. You will receive all of his favorite toys & food.

Story
Meet our beautiful litter of Alaskan Malamute puppies — 3 handsome boys and 2 gorgeous girls, now 3 months old and growing fast into BIG kids! These fluffy babies are packed with personality, love, and energy. They absolutely adore water — sprinklers, kiddie pools, hoses… if there’s water involved, they’re the first ones in. With their thick double coats and giant paws, these pups are built for cooler weather and would love homes in colder parts of the country or with families who don’t mind keeping the air conditioning cranked up 😉 They’re playful, affectionate, and already showing the loyal, goofy, and loving temperament Malamutes are known for. If you’re looking for a future gentle giant with a big heart and an even bigger personality, one of these babies may be your perfect match. If you know this breed, you know they are not apartment dogs. Malamutes need room to stretch their legs, burn energy, and enjoy life. Because of that, we will not adopt this litter out to apartment homes. Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

With his striking looks and happy personality, he turns heads wherever he goes… but it’s his sweet, friendly nature that really makes him unforgettable. Balto is a high-energy pup who loves to stay active and would thrive with an adopter who can match his enthusiasm for play, exercise, and adventure. He especially shines around other dogs—he gets along great with them and loves to play, making him an excellent candidate for a home with a canine companion or someone who enjoys social outings like dog parks or playdates. As you might expect from his breed mix, Balto has plenty of energy to burn and would do best in a home with a secure, fully fenced yard where he can run, explore, and stretch those legs. Balto is also quite the talker! This vocal boy isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts, whether he’s excited, curious, or just wants to join in on the conversation. Balto is heartworm positive and undergoing treatment. His future family will need to follow through with his treatment plan and ensure he gets the proper rest and care during recovery. Our team is happy to guide adopters through this process. Like many young dogs, Balto would benefit from continued training to help him become the very best version of himself. With consistency, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement, he’s sure to shine—he’s smart, eager, and ready to learn! Most of all, Balto is simply a happy, affectionate boy who’s ready to share his life with someone special. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and downright handsome companion to join your family, Balto might just be your perfect match. Apply today and let Balto bring a whole lot of love into your life!  Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.

Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 14, 2026, 12:01 am
