n 4/29/09 d I am a good dog.

Toby is our latest rescue. At 3 months old Toby came to NCAMA/MUSH needing
surgery on his right rear leg to correct what we believe to be a birth defect.
During the surgery the vet determined he need to amputate a large portion of the
leg. ...Less than two weeks late he has now had a second surgery, this time
removing the entire leg. The outlook is excellent that he will grow up to be a
happy and ...healthy
Malamute/Husky dog. Please donate to help cover the cost of these very expensive
surgeries. Every dollar goes directly to the dogs bills. Please donate anything
you can.
For those needing a tax deductible donation you can send a check to our sister

If you are serious about adopting a rescued Alaskan Malamute, please submit a completed online application and we will contact you once we receive it, please be patient. Not all dogs available are listed on the website. When a dog becomes available we first contact people that have submitted applications if the dog is suited to their household.
Again if you are serious about adopting an Alaskan Malamute please have a bit more patience than the breed itself, we are sure that the right dog will become available. The following dogs are some of those waiting for their new families.

Shamus under 2 yr old Male |
|
|
Shamus is new to rescue, and we'll know more about him soon, but
he is really sweet. Can be a bit dominant with other dogs
(some mounting) his new neuter may cure that to a certain
extent.
Shamus is currently in the Sacramento area

Tango 2 yr old Male Mal/Mix |
|
|
Tango is not quite two yet, and weighs about 90 lbs. He has been getting some basic training in his foster home where he is greatly loved. He's very gentle but that independent malamute streak does shine through at times. Tango loves all people but due to his size we aren't recommending children under 10 and he has been socialized with other dogs but like all malamutes and their mixes, caution is always best. He probably won't due well with cats. Tango is looking for a home that will give him the quality time and exercise he truly needs.
check out his smile box !!
Tango is in the BOONVILLE area |

Tomba 3 yr old Male |
|
|
|
Tomba is about 85lbs. He is great in the car and perfectly safe around people. He may make a good sled dog, as he is strong and eager to work. We have put packs on him and he loves it. He gets along with many, many dogs, and loves to play and play. However, he is not good in public as he periodically wants to dominate other male dogs and is very wholehearted in his efforts.
Tomba is very energetic and his current owners cannot give him the exercise he needs, they also have too many barn yard animals, horseback riders, other dogs, cats, and such that are loose nearby which he could harm if he gets loose.
He needs a house with a large fenced yard and perhaps a female he would get along with, he is full of energy, and very intelligent. Tomba is house trained, and knows basic commands. He also chases cats and would probably kill one if he got the chance.

Jacob approx 2 yr old Male |
|
|
|
Jacob was found as a stray. He's a smart boy who seems to know sit & will give you his paw. There was also no problem getting him into a down. He showed no vocalizing or discomfort when looking in his mouth, ears, or when handling his paw/toes, or pulling his tail. He will play with toys & gave them up willingly possibly knows the word give. He hopped right into a crate in the van. He IS a young, STRONG recently neutered boy that will need someone that has experience with malamutes.

Dakota 4 yr old female Mal/Mix |
|
|
|
Dakota was born September 27, 2007 96lbs and loves water.
She loves swimming, fetch with blue runner balls not so much the green ones. Dakota has a hard time with tiny dogs and she is scared of cats. She also only likes other huskies. She was attacked at a dog park so she is very territorial with other animals, Dakota needs to be in an only dog situation, she loves humans, hugs, and snuggles... If she's given 5 minutes of snuggle time she's happy. She's used to being walked twice a day and that keeps her hyper moods down. Dakota is very quiet, the only time she makes a noise is when she hears police cars she copies the sound with a low pitched howl. Dakota is currently in the Redding area
ADOPTED Never heard back from the owner, so hopefully she's safe and the owner has kept her or she has beed adopted. |

Winston 20 mth old Male Male/Mix |
|
|
|
This boy has come a long way from the picture
below, so much so we're questioning whether he is a mix or not.
Winston just may be all mal, soft coated but mal none the less,
he certainly has the temperament and antics of a malamute. Winston
has a kind temperament and just wants to be loved. He previously
lived in a home with 3 children who he was wonderful with. Winston has never lived with a
cat and when meeting up with a cat at the shelter he was
interested in chasing him. We do not recommend Winston living in
a home with another male. A female would probably be fine, but
he does have a tendency to bully.
Winston is highly intelligent and learns quickly. His new family should consider
doing obedience classes with him to help Winston work on his
good manners. If you're looking for a big new love in your life
look no further than Winston!
Winston is currently in the Sacramento area

|
|
|
Sierra's owners lost their home
and have had to move into an apartment, she's 100 plus lbs, and
is not allowed at the complex. Sierra is very social with
humans, including kids. Other dogs she is definitely an Alpha
female. She is good on leash and knows basic commands. She is
half trained indoors but she spends her time outside which she
prefers.
Sierra is currently in the Bay Area

Nikita 2 1/2 yr old Female |
|
|
|
Nikita is a beautiful girl that currently isn't getting along with her 9 yr old male lab companion. Her owner is struggling with this decision but he knows that Nikita is not getting the proper exercise and attention she needs. Nikita has had obedience training but she is a very large girl at a healthy 100 lbs. and will take advantage of someone that doesn't have experience with malamutes. Nikita is housebroken but she prefers to sleep outside. She's looking for an active home that will give her plenty of exercise and structure. She is also very prey driven and that doesn't mean just small animals, she's been known to chase horses and cows. Nikita is currently in the Pennisula area ADOPTED

Abby & Blu |
|
|

UPDATE, ABBY HAS GONE BACK TO HER ORIGINAL OWNER AND APPEARS VERY HAPPY Abby a 3 yr old Malamute and Blu a very young 9 yr Siberian are in need of a new home. Their family is moving and are not able to keep them. They have loved and taken excellent care of them and are hoping they can stay together. These two are very sweet dogs and Blu is very calm for a Siberian. Both are loving, affectionate, and housebroken. Neither are good with cats, and they are not recommended for small children as their extra affentionate nature and size could knock a small one over and hurt them unintentionally.
Abby & Blue are currently in the Lemore area

Jake 2 yr old Male |
|
|
|
Jake is approximately 120 lbs but could stand to loose at least 10 -15 of those, even at that he's a large boy who has had some training.
He was reported to get along with other dogs but he seems to be enjoying his time alone. Jake likes riding in the car, minds well in the house and is very affectionate once he gets to know you. On walks he shows some signs of aggression to other dogs and is guarded around new people. Due to his size we don’t recommend that he be in a home with small children.
Jake is currently in the Santa Cruz area, if you are interested please fill out our online application.

| Kita - 2 yr old Female |
|
|
|
Kita is an amazing female but she still has the typical malamute traits and although she does get along with other dogs and is currently being fostered in a household that has both males and females, Kita still needs to be monitored especially if she thinks something should be hers and only hers. Upon first meeting of another dog she will become more possessive until they understand that she will only share when she is willing to share, it may take a few days but when she trusts them she backs off, but again it means monitoring and knowing her actions and reactions. She is housebroken and has been left alone in the house for up to 4 hours.
Kita is currently in the Tracy area.

KIANA 18 mth old Female |
|
|
|
Kiana's owners need to move and can not take her with them. She is about 17 months old, born October 2009. She has been spayed and is current on all shots. She loves everyone she meets and is friendly and playful with other dogs she has met. The owner has never seen her get aggressive or growl, although she chases the cat like he might be dinner. Kiana loves her soccer ball, and shoes too. She has been camping, she loves the water (sprinklers, lake or river, etc) and loves to go for rides in the car or truck. She also likes rawhide bones but mostly the plain white ones with no flavor. She does come inside the house for a couple of hours at a time and does not have accidents, but mostly an outside dog. She loves to play with the owners 8 year old son but still jumps up on him to play. Kiana's personality seems very typical of the breed in all aspects.
Kiana is currently in the Hollister area.

MILA 10 mth old Female |
|
|
Mila
is a beautiful 10 month old girl. Mila is a sweet girl but
does need a lot of attention. Before going to the shelter her owner
was a single mom, with a teenager and a 10 year old who was not able
to give Mila what she needs.
Milla is great with kids, has tons of energy, and has been great with a relatives two dogs, a Border Collie and an Australian Shephard who are both in their senior years. She definitely likes to play much more than they do but was willing to let them both take on the Alpa role as long as she could just be near them. Mila would make a great companion for a family who has room for her to run and play. She is so precious and loving. She sits on command, can shake hands and plays hide and seek but has a difficult time with coming on command. As you will see in the picture, she is also a jokester. She stole the peanut butter off of the counter this day. Mila is currently in the Sacramento area
