My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

SIRIUS also called "SI" is a very friendly and full of puppy energy. He loves to play, run and bounce around. He is a talker and wants to make sure his people hear his opinions.

As you can see from the photos, SI is a stunning red color and a large boy with the potential of becoming much larger. His parents were both over 160 pounds! Due to his size his future family should not have small children or small dogs. However, he would do great with other large dogs and be part of their pack.

SIRIUS is a highly intelligent and treat motivated. He knows many commands both in English and German; "sit", "stay", "come", "heel" and "off" are just a few. Of course, he is a typical Mal and will choose not to listen sometimes. But do not let him fool you. He hears you and knows better.

Ideally his furever home will have a large yard to play in and the time to take him on daily walks to explore the neighborhood. SI enjoys car rides and always ready for a new adventure. After a long day of playing he is ready to sleep in his crate.

SIRIUS needs an owner who understands the Malamute breed, who has time and patience to help SI grow into his paws!

Additional adoption info

We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $400 which is tax deductible as we are a federally approved 501(c)3 charity. Our adoption contracts can be viewed online at: http://www.wamal.com/docs/WAMALAdoptionAgreement.pdf

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!

Go meet their pets

WAMAL is strictly internet based. Most of all our correspondence will be via email, typically during the odd hours of the night that our volunteers are able to donate time. The dogs in our rescue are taken into the homes and lives of our volunteers, there is no shelter to visit. There is no phone number to call. We are sorry for this, but with over 200 volunteers and over 100 dogs a year, there just is not an easy way to coordinate a statewide rescue other than through email.

More about this rescue

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.
