Description:

Welcome to WAMALWashington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League(WAMAL) was formed in 1998 by Cindy Neely to help with Malamute Rescue in Washington State and since then has expanded into Oregon. WAMAL rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes Malamutes (or Mal-enough-a-mutes!) who, through no fault of their own, find themselves without a home or in need of a new home.Serving the greater Northwest we are also part of a national rescue network, AMAL, that covers other areas of the US.WAMAL provides hope to families that must rehome their malamutes when life has taken a sharp detour; training support to those families desperately working to keep their 4-legged family members; works with shelters and takes into rescue strays and those pups needing an extra level of thoroughness in the adoption process; and, actively recruits adopters and foster homes.We are a 100% volunteer run, 501c.3 non-profit organization that is celebrating over 20 years! Our volunteers come from all walks of life and locations and WAMAL is only able to do what we do because of this generous and dedicated team of volunteers. They truly make it possible to save the lives of this gentle, stubborn, and loving working breed. WAMAL has rescued many hundreds of malamutes to date and each holds a place in our hearts.NOOKA is a very fun and sweet girl who needs daily exercise to help her release all her malamute energy. For this spry 8-year-old gal exercise is very crucial! She loves walking/hiking with a backpack as it gives her the little extra exercise she needs while on walks and helps her focus. It takes her time to warm up to new people and Nooka seems to favor females. She s not much of a snuggler, is independent and can be left alone at home for hours without causing any damage. She also loves her crate and sleeps in there all night with no problem. Nooka would do best being the only dog in the house and in an adult only home. As most malamutes do, she has a very high prey drive so no kitties or small furries. Nooka is great at telling you when she needs to go out to the bathroom. Her voice is really beautiful, and she is not afraid to use it. She loves to sing and be heard. Overall, she is a great girl who would be best in a house with people who are highly active and would get her p...read more about NOOKARANDYis a big healthy 10-year-old mal looking for his perfect family! Do not let his age fool you--he has the energy of a 2-year-old! This guy is strong, super smart and will do best in an adult only home. Randy loves attention and really adores people. He has great house manners and will not destroy nor chew items, is house trained and knows his commands in both English and German. His best day includes lots of walking, hiking and activity. He rides great in the car, jumps in and out with ease and loves to have the window cracked to stick his head out. Randy enjoys hisfood but can be reactive if someone tries to take away food wrappers etc. so he needs a committed owner tocontinue the positive progress he is making in his foster home. He can get reactive at the sight of other dogs andneeds a careful handler while on leash. His foster says that, after some time with her, Randy has grown comfortableenough to show his goofy and playful sides!The Golden Paw...read more about RANDYWe pulled EMMETT from one of our partner shelters. This energetic pup is 3 years old and wants to be your best bud! So far, we have found him to be a friendly, goofy and at times pushy boy just shy of 100 pounds. This guy is strong, super smart and will do best in an adult only home. Emmett seems aware of his size and so will need someone who is not only strong in build but in attitude. He will need a calm, consistent, and patient adopter familiar with positive reinforcement training and someone who can meet his energy and mental stimulation needs. He is a typical malamute with a high prey drive so needs a home without small animals. He is good with medium sized dogs and larger. He enjoys playing with toys and is a big strong boy. He can be protective of his food and treats. He loves people and is just a happy pup!Read more about EMMETT...CASH is ready to live the good life after winding up in a crowded CA shelter and spending some time on death row.This special 4-year-old male loves people and is ready to go on adventures!

He is a smart pup and knows sit, down, touch, stay, come and shake already and willenjoy learning new tricks with his new owner. Regular exercise will be an important key to satisfying Cash s energyand mental stimulation needs. A home with no cats, young kids or other dogs would be the best for him.

Cash is currently in the Seattle area and the option ofseveral supervised visits prior to adoption, along with in-home training sessions from his current ...read more about CASHKYIA is looking for a malamute experienced adult-only home. This special malamute is believed to have had a previous owner that may have been abusive and is very cautious about people coming into her home. The WAMAL volunteer that met her met in a park and was able to walk Kyia. She is picky with her dog friends and may be best as an only dog. She is a known food thief and has been known to open microwaves and toaster ovens - smart girl! Despite these challenges she is a lovely malamute that will do well with consistent training and exercise. At five years young she has lots of energy and is ready to go on adventures! She comes house and crate trained.The adoption fee of $400 includes spay-neuter and all vaccines.Read more about KYIA...KANGAMOOis looking for his furever home and wants to be your one and only pup. Kangamoo loves going on adventures and being out in public--outdoor restaurants, walks, hikes. Since he came into rescue without us knowing anything about him, he has been fortunate enough to be in a foster home with John, a professional trainer, who has been working with Kanga to learn what kind of home would be best for him. Kanga may not be a cuddle ready Mal just yet but loves giving licks and kisses and is super affectionate you just need to let him initiate in the early days while he is building trust. Kanga has no issue being left alone for 3-4 hours and is happy to sleep in your bed or anywhere as long as he can be close to you. Kanga doesn t do well in an apartment setting with cramped stairways or elevators so we are looking for a home setting for him with a secure yard. As far as other dogs, when on walks Kanga notices them, wants to approach some, but ...read more about KANGAMOOELIJAH is a young malamute who still has some growing to do to match his big paws! This cutie is ready for adventures with his new family and would do well with another dog. He is a very friendly dog with people and does well with children, though with his energy levels older kids may be best. As a young pup, Elijah will need continued training, leash work, and lots of exercise to be the best canine companion he can be. Typical of his age and breed, he is a digger and will escape if given the chance. He takes treats gently and enjoys time with people. Elijah is a great pup ready to find his furever home! Read more about ELIJAH...KUMAis ayoung malamute that came to WAMAL via a partner shelter. He recently had eye surgery to treat entropian (a condition that caused his eyelashes to grow inward). Now that his eyes are all fixed up he would like to see his way into your heart! Goofy and sweet are the best two words to describe this pup. Typical of his breed, he will not do well in a home with smaller animals and was particularly interested in the rooster he saw. He is reported to have done well with all the dogs he met at the shelter, so may enjoy a home with another dog. He does pretty well on leash and passed all of his temperament tests with flying colors! Kuma is ready to join you on your outdoor adventures and chill on the couch with you in the evenings!Read more about KUMA...OCTAVIANis a Malamutethat will thrive in a relaxed environment as he is timid, especially in new situations. Once he gets to know you, he enjoys being pet and is very treat motivated. He already knows the commands of sit and can work into a down, and he will also give you his paw. Octavian will need an adult only home due to his timidness. He has lived with another dog though, so may enjoy a canine companion in his new home. This guy enjoys swimming and is readyto join you on all of your outdoor adventures! He will reward your time and patience with him with a ton of love.The adoption fee of $400 includes spay-neuter and all vaccines.

Food and water were not always available and they sought shelter and shade under a variety of construction vehicles. Fortunately, the property s new owner found out about the dogs and with the help of amazing volunteers, got these pups safely into rescue. We will be learning more about them and will be getting them the medical care and grooming they are in desperate need of. At this time, we expect they will do best in a home together.

She has been well cared for and loved; however, has to find a new home due to an incident with another dog. Other than needing to be an only pet and careful around other dogs, she really has no other issues. She walks well on leash and knows a number of commands - and even follows them quite well on leash and about half the time when not on leash. (The other half of the time off leash she wants to convince us she just didn t hear the commands...oh malamutes!) On walks, she does well with the wait command, though will pull to get to another dog,so needssomeone strong enough to keep her from doing that. She enjoys pulling carts, which is good, as she needs exercise to lose a little extra fluff . This friendly girl loves people and has spent time with older children that she did very well with. Sadie enjoys attention and getting pets and b...read more about SADIEATLAS wants to look his very best for you, but like many of us, he got a not so great quarantine haircut! Atlas came into the shelter with this do but he hasn t let it stop him from becoming a shelter favorite and now he is with WAMAL to find hisperfect malamute home! Exuberant is probably the best word to describe Atlas. He enjoys meeting new people and getting love and pets. As a young adult, he will look forward to working with his new family on learning commands and tricks,which is a great way for him to bond. He does jump up in his excitement, but seems to know the command of off and walks well on leash. He may know some other commands, but exhibited that malamute selective hearing with our evaluator. Atlas loves to run so would make a great partner for your outdoor adventures! As a bonus, he does great in the car and was a great traveler with our transporter. As Atlas fur continues to grow back, his coat will need some ext...read more about ATLASNALA is a young adult malamute that would most likely enjoy being your only pet. This does make sense as she LOVES people and craves attention! She also has the typical malamute prey drive for smaller animals and is quite an alpha. She enjoys being pet all over and is a licker and likes to gently nibble on fingers while being pet. She has primarily been outside, so would enjoy being indoors with her human pack in her new home while also spendingtime outdoors. She is an active girl that will need some leash work. This will be made easier as she is good in the car once she gets a boost in, so will be happy to join you on all of your adventures! She has done well with kids, though does like to put her paws up on people, so will need to be watched as she may knock over little ones out of excitement. This lovely lady is ready to be the apple of your eye!Read more about NALA...TEDDY BEAR has the perfect name for his personality - he is abig snuggler who loves being with people and isextremely affectionate. He is extra fluffy (ahem overweight) and needs to lose about 20 pounds. Even with the weight loss, Teddy Bear will be a big boy as he currently weighs 175 pounds. He is ready to fill your home and heart! This cuddlebug will benefit from a good diet and gentle exercise to lose weight. We don t expect this guy to ever be a marathoner though, so would likely do best in a home with people that enjoy walks and hiking. He does very well with other dogs, so would like having a canine play companion too! He is reported to do well with kids too - truly a perfect family dog!Read more about TEDDY BEAR...KING is a very typical young malamute/husky mix that has a high prey drive, a ton of energy, and escape artist tendencies! That is paired with being a really smart boy, already knowing the commands of sit , lay , and stay . He loves treats, so further training should be a breeze! He also enjoys playing with toys and is very sweet and affectionate. He would do best with an active family and would likely enjoy a canine companion with a similar energy level. With his energy level, he would do better with older kids ashe may knock down little ones in his exuberance. He has striking markings and unique eyes with one brown and the other a mix of blue and brown. He brings all the challenges and best of both breeds into an athletic package ready to join you on your workouts!Read more about KING...GARYis a young malamute mix that is adventure ready! Gary came into one of our partner shelters as a very skinny stray that is described as a sweet goofball. He is a happy guy that enjoys people and leaned in for hugs from our evaluator right off the bat! This pup doesn t have a shy bone in his body and proceeded to do zoomies with frequent visits over for pets and loves in between. He will benefit from good nutrition to get his weight up, exercise, and a lot of training to enable him to grow into an awesome companion. He already knows sit , off , and is learning fetch skills. He politely sits and waits for his food and takes treats gently. We expect Gary would very much enjoy having a canine companion in his new home that has a similar energy level. That said, he is very vocal and bouncy when meeting new dogs, so will need some work on that. He would also do well as an only dog as long as his human famil...read more about GARYSPIKE is a young adult malamute mix that was struggling in the shelter environment after his owner needed to rehome him. The shelter got in touch with WAMAL and he is now ready for his forever home. In the home environment, Spike was described as being playful and enjoyed leaning in for pets. He spent most of his time outdoors and got along with all family members. When he first arrived at the shelter, he did well with the vet staff and was friendly until he was to be re-kenneled, which he tried his best to avoid! We expect his behavior was primarily driven by his confusion in the environment and believe he will settle back into a home environment. He has not been around large dogs, though is reported to have done well with smaller dogs in his past. We will continue to assess him around other dogs and he may enjoy a canine companion in his new home. Spike is ready for a savvy owner to take him on adventures and welcome him into his new fa...read more about SPIKEZENA is a lovely lady looking for a retirement home tocall her very own.

She is reported to have some stiffness in her hips and needs soft food since her teeth aren t the best, but hey - it s not that easy getting older! Despite her age, her favorite part of the day is going for a walk which she LOVES! She also enjoys spending time outside and will come into the house where she quickly acclimated and doesn t have accidents.
