My personality

My story

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

Violet came to us from a kill shelter with Diesel who is also available for adoption.
Violet is a young, bouncy, happy girl, who is ready for family to love her. She could live with another male companion in the home but would also be just as happy being the only dog in the home where she can get all the attention she deserves.

Violet is a sweet, affectionate, smaller girl at 60lbs. and approximately a year and a half old. She is looking for a family with a fenced in yard and no small animals please.

If you are interested in ADOPTING or FOSTERING, please complete an application by cutting & pasting the following link:
https://form.jotform.com/60794585351161

Or visit CHAAMP.org to access the Adoption/Foster link and learn about the process. https://www.chaamp.org/adoption-process

Your application tells us about your lifestyle and helps us find a potential match for you and your family. We are happy to work with you. For example, if you don't have a fence, we can help find alternatives and/or a dog that will do well without a fence.

A home visit is required prior to adoption/fostering. You can visit the malamute(s) once you've completed the process. Alternatively, you may volunteer and learn how rewards-based training brings out the best in malamutes.
*********************************
CHAAMP accepts applications from Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington DC.

ADOPTION FEES
~Senior dogs (8+ years old): $100.00
~Adult dogs (2 years up to 8): $300.00
~Puppies (6 months - 2 years): $350.00
~Puppies under 6 months: $375

All Malamutes are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Puppy fees are higher due to more vet visits and vaccines. The adoption fee helps us cover these costs.

CHAAMP is a proud rescue member of the Pet Professional Guild. We say no thank you to Shock, Prong, Choke, Pain, Force, and Fear. We understand safety is important to prevent being pulled by malamutes who were born to pull. We are happy to share options and other equipment to help you both be safe.

Additional adoption info

Here are three great links that have a very honest description of Alaskan Malamutes: http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/reviews/alaskanmalamutes.html and https://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/alaskan-malamute#/slide/1 and also http://eqi.org/malamute.htm.  

Please review them carefully before submitting your application.  After you return the application, we'll give you a call to schedule a home visit, and we will also call the vet indicated on your application for a reference. After that we will schedule your home visit. Once your home visit is done and you are approved to adopt, you get to meet the dog(s) that are right for your family and hopefully bring one home.  Please note, we require that you bring your current dogs with you when you come to meet a dog(s) to adopt.
