Rescue FAQs

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.
All of Washington State and most of Oregon. We occasionally place dogs to homes in Idaho and Montana IF Malamute Rescues in those states do not have an animal in rescue available.

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!
