Story
Meet Gordita – The Fluffy Houdini with a Voice Like No Other Age: 11 months Breed: Alaskan Malamute + Siberian Husky = 100% Sass & Class Color: Black & White (like her favorite chicken: golden-brown on the inside) Ever wanted to adopt a majestic wolf-dog hybrid… but, like, with more zoomies and a love for rotisserie chicken? Then let us introduce Gordita—the vocal queen, the backyard escape artist, the canine icon in training. At just 11 months old, Gordita is already an expert in the ancient art of howl-o-phony. Whether you’re leaving the house or just opening a bag of chips without offering her any, she’ll let you know—loudly and proudly. Think opera, but make it dog. Her hobbies include: Screaming (with passion) Strategically testing fences for weak points Dramatically flopping for attention Tracking rotisserie chicken with the intensity of a truffle pig Don’t let her puppy age fool you—this girl has the energy of a toddler on espresso and the attitude of someone who’s been wronged in a past life (probably because you forgot to share your chicken). She’ll need a secure yard, a confident human, and preferably someone who appreciates vocal performance art. But in return? You get unconditional love, lifelong loyalty, and a very opinionated roommate who never forgets where the treats are hidden. Adopt Gordita today—because who doesn’t want a fluffy, chicken-obsessed diva in their life?

This sweet, friendly, cuddly, and playful little guy is eager to find his forever home. His gentle nature makes him an ideal companion for first-time owners or a perfect addition to any family. If you're looking for a loyal friend who'll always be there to cheer you up, Baby Diego is the one for you. He's waiting to share his boundless love and playful antics with a family that will cherish him. Give Baby Diego the chance to fill your home with love, laughter, and lots of puppy kisses. Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at  foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/.

Story
www.huskyrescueteam.org    If you have additional questions please email info@huskyrescueteam.org Lyra is a 4 1/2 year old Alaskan Malamute who found herself in a Maryland shelter FIVE times in 4 years. Each time she was picked up as a stray and brought to the shelter, she had the same owner. She was reclaimed four times. But this time she was not reclaimed and made rescue only due to multiple impoundments. We wanted stability for Lyra so we brought her into our program. We have since learned her former owner allowed her to free roam. Lyra has been picked up by neighbors on several busy streets and even seen on the interstate! We're told she has lived with children, dogs of all sizes, and cats. She likes the male dog in her foster home but not the female Husky. She'd also be fine, and maybe even prefer, to be an only dog.   Initially she was a bit leery meeting new people but she soon realized she's among Northern Breed folks who understand her Mally ways. We've earned her trust and have taught her appropriate boundaries - none of which she's had before.   Malamutes are different than Huskies. A Husky wants to be everyone's best friend. Mals are loyal to their people and you have to earn that loyalty. Lyra will need a patient owner who understands how to build mutual respect. She is a big girl who loves even bigger. She goes belly up for pets and loves to use her paws to express when she wants you to love her. She gives sweet kisses and is a fairly mellow girl. She is strong on a leash and has a deep voice. She's completely house trained and not destructive in the home. She's not a fan of having her paws handled but now allows for brushing by a trusted volunteer.   Lyra is not likely to enjoy a busy home with young children. Her speed is more the middle-aged/senior living, even though she's still a young dog. But she will need someone who can manage her on a leash. She's a bit strong starting out but quickly falls in stride. Lyra is also good in the car and willingly jumps in, ready to go. She's spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and healthy. Lyra is located in MD.   Transport within the Eastern US is available for the right home.     ~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.huskyrescueteam.org/apply     If you have additional questions please email  info@huskyrescueteam.orgMay 24, 2025, 10:52 am

Story
Lizzy is a 2 year old/45 lb Malimute mix. She is extremely smart and needs an adopter willing to work to earn her respect. She’s housebroken, crate trained, fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. DNA tested Liz is utterly stunning. However she is also smart and energetic and needs a home that is up for action. If you jog, walk several miles a day, enjoy hiking on the weekends or would want a potential dog for agility or other sports Lizzy could be your girl. She will definitely Netflix and Chill in the evening but she is all about the fun during the day. She is very friendly and outgoing and is learning to curb her enthusiasm as she wants to meet EVERYONE. Lizzy enjoys playing with other dogs and has made lots of friends. To see more pics/vids, put her hashtag into Facebook search bar. #hmrlizzy If you feel Lizzy would be a good companion for your living situation, send in our adoption application and a volunteer will be in touch. https://form.jotform.com/hailmaryrescue/hail-mary-rescue-adoption-applicati

Charlie Barkley is a unique Alaskan Malamute in the sense that he’s a little more on the lazier side haha. He loves walks and runs but definitely loves his bed more. He loves to play with his rope and stuffies but he loves cuddles the most. As much as we love Charlie, my daughter is very allergic to him. Charlie would do great in a home with other dogs. I don’t recommend a home with small kids because he can knock them over. He’s still a puppy and doesn’t understand how big he is haha Charlie would do best in a home that has time to give him lots of love and the financial ability to keep up with his grooming needs and training. He loves the groomers and well anything that warrants a car ride.
