Alaskan Malamute Breed Rescue

Betsy
D.O.B April 2017
Female
Microchip number 900079000184841
Pet Exchange Register Source Number: RE100304
Adoption Fee: $350

Looking for a big, fluffy canine companion that will always greet you with a smile and plenty of enthusiastic tail wagging? Then you can't go past Betsy!

Betsy is a happy girl who just wants to be with her humans, preferably as close as she can get! She has lived with a male dog and enjoys romps and rough playtime with him, but her people are her besties.

Despite that sweet innocent face, Betsy isn't always friendly with other dogs so her new owners will need to be prepared to keep her under good control and approach any doggy introductions with caution, particularly with other female dogs.

Betsy walks quite nicely on lead most of the time, but has displayed a very strong hunting instinct and can pull quite hard when she spots something to chase. For these reasons, Betsy always needs to be walked on lead and under the control of a strong adult.

Betsy hasn't had any experience around children that we know of, and she can jump up and play quite rough, so any new home will be best suited to older children. She's not particularly agile but she is a wire-chewer and has displayed skills at breaking through fences, so she will need strong & secure 5 foot high dig-proof fencing to keep her safe.

Although she would love to be inside with her human family and can have a bit of a moan about being away from you, she does settle down and is quite happy to lie at the back door on her own.

If you have experience with a large arctic breed dog, preferably a Malamute, then Betsy might be the one for you!

Betsy is not available for interstate adoption and is not suitable for apartments, homes with very small outdoor spaces or rural areas.

Betsy will need:

* Homes with arctic breed experience, preferably with Malamutes, will be given priority
* Any children to be in their teens
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* A home as an only dog, or with a tolerant male dog of similar size
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A reasonable yard area with garden areas and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 5 foot high, secure and dig-proof

Delilah
Female
D.O.B June 2023
Microchip number 956000016593794
Adoption Fee: $350

Why, why, why Delilah? Just why is such a sweet, young girl like you looking for a new home? We really don’t know, as Delilah was a stray and ended up at the pound, so we have no background on her.

Delilah is a real sweetheart, she loves nothing more than a cuddle and tummy rub, but she’s also happy just chillin’ by the back door.

She can jump up on people if she is not instructed otherwise and her manners aren’t always the best, so even though Delilah has basic training her new family will need to be prepared to reinforce good behaviour. For this reason, any children in her new home will need to be at least in their teen years.

Food? Hell yeah! Like any typical Malamute food is something of very high importance, so feeding times are when she definitely needs to be separated from her doggy companion. She will sit and wait for her food though, so she has been taught some manners!

Digging? Of Course! Like any typical Malamute Delilah loves to entertain herself by getting stuck into a bit of garden excavating, and of course chewing stuff!

Rough play? Why Not! She’s young, she’s energetic and she loves some exuberant rough-housing and zoomies with her fur-buddy, but her companion must be a male dog. Some female dogs she will politely tolerate at a distance if they are non-reactive but, like any typical Mally girl, Delilah is not friendly to all female dogs.

Cats and other animals? Definite no! Like any typical Malamute, Delilah has a strong instinct to hunt and chase, so there can be no cats or other pets in the household, and fences need to be strong, dig-proof and at least 5 foot high. Walks must always be on lead, and other than when she spots some critter of interest on her walks, she is quite well behaved on lead.

We haven’t had Delilah as an inside dog as yet and we are not sure how advanced her toilet-training is, so this is something her new owners may need to work on.

If this sweet, young Mally girl sounds like the one for you and you fit all her needs, please apply!

Delilah is not available for interstate adoption and is not suitable for apartments, homes with very small outdoor spaces or rural areas.

Delilah will need:
* Any children to be in their teens
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* A home as an only-dog, but preferably with a tolerant male dog of similar size
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A reasonable yard area with garden areas and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 5 foot high, secure and dig-proof
* Arctic breed experience essential, preferably with Malamutes

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT MEET ALL THE DOG'S REQUIREMENTS.
Each application we receive is considered by our Committee, and we seek to find only the best suited homes, no matter how long that may take.

LOKI
Alaskan Malamute
Male
D.O.B. Oct 2016
Microchip number: 953010000216438
Adoption Fee: $350

Loki was returned to us with his female Mally companion Zelda after we thought they had found their forever home, which was not to last. Sadly Zelda has recently passed away and now Loki is on his own looking for his new family to fill the void the loss of Zelda has left in his life.

Loki can be very cheeky and make his own fun in the backyard if given the means and opportunity, but he is also very good at putting his inquisitive nature to good use and learns new skills easily.

He is a big, strong fellow who will require a family experienced with the breed that are physically capable of handling a large, excitable dog and are committed to his ongoing training. While he loves kids, his size and excitement means he is only suitable around secondary school aged children.

He loves his daily walks and will need a confident handler that can help him remain calm and under control when he sees other dogs.

Loki loves to dig a hole to lay in, so his new family can’t be too concerned about having a pristine garden. He looooves doing zoomies, so he will need a decent sized backyard.

Loki will need:

* A home as an only-dog.
* Any children to be in their teens
* No other cats, pocket pets or other animals
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A reasonably large yard with grass areas and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 6 foot high, secure and dig-proof
* Arctic breed experience, preferably with Malamutes

There are also the usual requirements of a secure yard with dig-proof fencing that is at least 6 foot high, and undercover areas for shelter from the weather.
Loki would love to start his new life ASAP, so if you meet his requirements, please apply today.
Loki is not available for interstate adoption and is not suitable for apartments, homes with small yards or rural areas.
