Story
This precious big girl (almost 70#) is a true gem.She's been vetted and we have given her the 12 month Proheart heartworm prevention shot. She's a pretty chilled out dog but loves to run after a ball.She doesn't like other dogs to come up and get in her business but she won't seek them out and get in theirs.She's more of a loner and prefers to be the only child. She was fostered with an older dog and several cats and did done very well with them. The dog passed away but she's loving the cats. She has storm anxiety and gets extremely nervous during a thunderstorm.She can (and has!) cleared a 6 ft privacy fence during a storm if let out during one or given access to a doggie door. Don't do it.She's fine with a crate to be on the safe side while owners are working or away. Shellie has a silky, hair-like coat and does not shed like most shepherd dogs, though she does shed, of course.She would really prefer to have someone at home with her to give them her unconditional attention and love. She is a wonderful girl and loving as can be, but simply anxious during storms and firework. For the RIGHT person(s) we have a sponsor to sponsor her adoption fee, but only if we feel it is the perfect home for this baby girl..Her swimming pool will even go along with her because she LOVES her swimming pool!Apply to adopt at madisonarf.org

Toshi

Alaskan Malamute

Male, Adult
Madison, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Toshi (pronounced TOE SHEE) is a 3 year old male Alaskan Malamute, pure breed and is registered with the AKC. He has a fantastic temperament. He is not at all dog aggressive and when he goes to boarding he mixes well with other dogs. However, Toshi has not lived in a home with other dogs so he may do best in an environment where he is the only dog. Malamutes are known for resource guarding/ food aggression and since he has never lived with another dog he hasn't had the opportunity to work that out. Toshi is in excellent health and all of his veterinary records can be verified. He is kept on heartworm medication year-round. Our hope for Toshi is that he is owned by someone who is very active, athletic even. By virtue of his breed he has a lot of stamina. He needs and enjoys consistent exercise. He would enjoy extended walks, running free in an enclosed, safe area and hiking. He also really enjoys a good belly rub.
