My story

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

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

ZEKE is a sweet boy who is happiest when he is hanging out with his humans. His craves a daily routine of walks, food, naps, play time, treats, more naps, exploring his yard, dinner and ready for bed by 7 pm. If he is not happy about something, he won't hestiate to tell you his thoughts with a few Whoo Whoos.

A home with a fenced yard for ZEKE to enjoy the sunshine, sniff the air and watch the neighborhood would be ideal. ZEKE knows many commands; sit, lay down, stay, come and load up are a few. He could easily learn more with a few treats to motivate him.

ZEKE does well with other large dogs, especially if they are female, and with older considerate children. He doesn't realize his size, therefore it is best he does not play with small dogs, or young children.

If you take ZEKE on an adventure in a car he will fuss and make some noise because he is not a big fan of car rides. But once he arrives at the destination, especially if it is a fun hike or place to explore, he is excited and loving it.

After a long day full of activities ZEKE prefers to go to his crate to sleep, which is his safe and quiet spot away from the family chaos.

ZEKE's furever family should be able to spend most of their day with him, even if it is just letting him lounge around with you. All he wants is to be close to you and part of your pack.

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!

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.
