Online Adoption Application

                      If you are interested in a dog on this list, please go to the Online Adoption Screening Form above, fill it out completely and submit it.  Once it is received, you will be "in the system" and will be contacted via email about the dog you are interested in.  Please be aware that the dog you are interested in may not be a good fit for your circumstances.  We will discuss this with you so you understand what is the best for you and the dog. 

\

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. 

 

We have tried to keep our adoption fees as low as possible, but due to the lack of foster homes we have kenneling fees along with the escalating prices of routine medical care, spaying and neutering of large dogs we need to require an adoption fee of    $ 350.00 - $ 500.00.  The fees do vary depending on the age and costs of the dog.

If you are unable to adopt but would like to make a donation to help us care and find homes for these dogs, you may make a secure online  donation using a credit card or check.  We are a non profit corporation but we are not a 501c3 and unfortunately the donations are not tax deductible.   Every little bit does help.  

THANK YOU !

 MUSH and the rescues would like to thank everyone who have made donations this year and we hope you will continue to give your financial support, but if this is not possible, please think about fostering.  Each rescue is unique in their situations, but loving dogs none the less.  If they aren't the dog for you, please tell others you feel may be interested.    We still find ourselves in a position where we must keep this urgent request for financial assistance.  As mentioned above we are a not for profit organization, but unfortunately not a 501c where your donations are tax deductible, but we hope you will find it in your hearts to give whatever you can to help us continue to save others.

 Rocky 7 yr - 8 yr old male

 

 

 

 

 

Rocky is approx 7 - 8 yrs old.  Rocky is a very shy one, he will tolerate petting, and when he is more secure in a home with one on one attention he will come around even further but it will take time and patience.
 

He does pull alot on the leash and in true malamute form would rather go a different way than the walker but he will relax to a certain extent and go with the flow, still pulling though.

Rocky actually does respond better when he is on the leash, and he likes his treats.  He seems to be fine with other females but no males !

Rocky is also crate trained and in the Sacramento area.

 Lola 18mth female

 

 

 

 

Lola is a large ( 90lbs )  18mth old female red and white malamute.  She is loving and affectionate, knows some  commands,  is housebroken, and loves to be brushed.  She was surrendered to the shelter because she didn't get along  with their other large female.  Lola  has been in a new home but she has proven to be a bit more than they were looking for.  Lola is quite energetic and needs plenty of exercise.  She has also has some separation anxiety.  She would love to have a male companion but those introductions will need to be done slowly, she is a dominant female and does react to other dogs.  Lola would love a home that will devote their time to her.  She would make a wonderful companion from hiking to laying around watching TV!

Sitka  2 yr old male

We have Sitka listed as 2 yrs old but the vet thinks he could be younger.  He is a big boy at 110lbs, and approximately 30" at the shoulder.  He also has a shorter coat.

 

He is leash trained, very mannerly, no jumping or anything like that, very laid back. He is one that will play ball with you but if you are just sitting there he will sit there beside you. He loves to be with his humans. 

Sitka will not be placed with cats or in a rural area, he likes chickens too much for that.

If you are an active person who is looking for that extra large boy and can give him the attention he needs, Sitka may be the one for you !

Kona 4 yr old female

 

                             

 

 

Kona is a 4 yr old female, who found herself in a shelter after her owners had to move. She is a sweet girl but needs someone that knows the breed, someone who can be fair but strong with her, she will take advantage.  Kona is housebroken, knows some obedience but is highly dog aggressive with both male and female and she definitely can not be trusted around live stock or small animals.  She's certainly not a dog park dog, and one when out for a walk will need her attention distracted when other dogs are out but she will is loving, snuggley, and will make someone an

excellent companion.

 TOBY   9mth old  Male

 

 

 

 

 Toby is 9 months old and weighing in at a healthy 80 pounds.  He is neutered, has been chipped, and is up to date on all of his shots. He has successfully completed the vet sponsored puppy socialization class as well as two obedience classes. 
He is great with many commands, such as "sit, down, stay, leave it, take it and wait", but is quite stubborn and still has some room for improvement with "come, heel, drop it and settle down."  He has lots of energy and is accustomed to two one-hour walks every day, but it takes a firm hand to keep him under control, he's quite mouthy and stubborn.
 

He sleeps well through the night in his kennel but struggles to behave in the house, again the mouthing issue but he does not chew on furniture and is housebroken.  He reacts well to other dogs of all sizes and breeds, if they don't try to dominate him, but does not do well with cats.   Toby would do well in a home that will have the patience, strength and stamina to complete his training and deal with the mouthing issue.

 

Toby is currently in Sacramento area
