Buff is a good boy that needs training. He loves children, and gets along with friendly dogs. I have a small dog that is not neutered yet and they’ve gotten into it. With calmer dogs buff does not problem, in fact this is the only dog he’s had issues with. He loves pampering. He dislikes trimming nails very much and needs to take calming meds before the vet. Buff needs training and someone who is experienced.

This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter.

Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at  foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/.

Alaskan Malamute Husky

Female, 1 yr
Waldorf, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Gordita – The Fluffy Houdini with a Voice Like No Other Age: 11 months Breed: Alaskan Malamute + Siberian Husky = 100% Sass & Class Color: Black & White (like her favorite chicken: golden-brown on the inside) Ever wanted to adopt a majestic wolf-dog hybrid… but, like, with more zoomies and a love for rotisserie chicken? Then let us introduce Gordita—the vocal queen, the backyard escape artist, the canine icon in training. At just 11 months old, Gordita is already an expert in the ancient art of howl-o-phony. Whether you’re leaving the house or just opening a bag of chips without offering her any, she’ll let you know—loudly and proudly. Think opera, but make it dog. Her hobbies include: Screaming (with passion) Strategically testing fences for weak points Dramatically flopping for attention Tracking rotisserie chicken with the intensity of a truffle pig Don’t let her puppy age fool you—this girl has the energy of a toddler on espresso and the attitude of someone who’s been wronged in a past life (probably because you forgot to share your chicken). She’ll need a secure yard, a confident human, and preferably someone who appreciates vocal performance art. But in return? You get unconditional love, lifelong loyalty, and a very opinionated roommate who never forgets where the treats are hidden. Adopt Gordita today—because who doesn’t want a fluffy, chicken-obsessed diva in their life?

Alaskan Malamute

Female, Adult
Millersville, MD

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
www.huskyrescueteam.org    If you have additional questions please email info@huskyrescueteam.org Lyra is a 4 1/2 year old Alaskan Malamute who found herself in a Maryland shelter FIVE times in 4 years. Each time she was picked up as a stray and brought to the shelter, she had the same owner. She was reclaimed four times. But this time she was not reclaimed and made rescue only due to multiple impoundments. We wanted stability for Lyra so we brought her into our program. We have since learned her former owner allowed her to free roam. Lyra has been picked up by neighbors on several busy streets and even seen on the interstate! We're told she has lived with children, dogs of all sizes, and cats. She likes the male dog in her foster home but not the female Husky. She'd also be fine, and maybe even prefer, to be an only dog.   Initially she was a bit leery meeting new people but she soon realized she's among Northern Breed folks who understand her Mally ways. We've earned her trust and have taught her appropriate boundaries - none of which she's had before.   Malamutes are different than Huskies. A Husky wants to be everyone's best friend. Mals are loyal to their people and you have to earn that loyalty. Lyra will need a patient owner who understands how to build mutual respect. She is a big girl who loves even bigger. She goes belly up for pets and loves to use her paws to express when she wants you to love her. She gives sweet kisses and is a fairly mellow girl. She is strong on a leash and has a deep voice. She's completely house trained and not destructive in the home. She's not a fan of having her paws handled but now allows for brushing by a trusted volunteer.   Lyra is not likely to enjoy a busy home with young children. Her speed is more the middle-aged/senior living, even though she's still a young dog. But she will need someone who can manage her on a leash. She's a bit strong starting out but quickly falls in stride. Lyra is also good in the car and willingly jumps in, ready to go. She's spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and healthy. Lyra is located in MD.   Transport within the Eastern US is available for the right home.     ~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.huskyrescueteam.org/apply     If you have additional questions please email  info@huskyrescueteam.orgMay 24, 2025, 10:52 am

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.November 4, 2024, 12:00 am

She largely ignores my cats or is intimidated by them. She has a voice and is not afraid to use it when she is hungry or has to go out. crate trained.
