 Quick Facts  Name: Duke Age: Under 2 years old (estimated) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Alaskan Malamute Color: White & Black Weight: 23 kg Height: 60–70 cm (shoulder height when standing) Microchip Number: 410 097 800 546 264 Health History Treatments: Tested negative for 4DX, Treated for Giardia with prescribed medication on December 5, 2024. All About Me Hello, future family! My name is Duke, and I’m a young Alaskan Malamute with a heart as big as my paws. My journey started with a little hardship, but I’ve come so far, and I’m ready to share my playful, loving nature with someone special—maybe you! Personality I’m the kind of dog who makes friends wherever I go. Whether it’s a stranger or someone I’ve known for a while, I love to greet everyone with a wagging tail and a gentle nuzzle. My favorite way to show affection is to roll over and let you rub my belly—sometimes even on our very first meeting! Despite my size, I have a sweet, goofy charm that makes me hard to resist. People say I’m like the lovable class clown because I always manage to bring smiles to everyone around me. My Energy Level & Walks Exploring the outdoors is my favorite thing to do! Walks are a chance for me to stretch my legs and satisfy my curiosity. Sometimes, I get so excited about all the new smells and sights that I might pull on the leash a bit, but with a little guidance, I know I’ll get better. I’m also great in the car—I can hop in and out on my own and settle down quietly during the ride. Whether it’s a trip to the park or a weekend adventure, I’m always ready to go! Life at Home At home, I’m a sweet and loving companion. I’m happy to use indoor pads or go outside for bathroom breaks, but I’ll count on you to keep my space tidy so I can avoid any accidental messes. I’m curious about everything, especially things on counters or shelves, so you might catch me sneaking a peek at what’s up there! I’m always up for mealtime and treats—it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. I’m polite when it comes to sharing food and toys, but I’m very enthusiastic about eating, so feeding time is always an exciting event for me! One of my quirks is that I like to talk in my own special way. Whether it’s a little howl to say hello when you come home or a playful “woof” to ask for attention, I just love expressing myself. My Ideal Home I dream of a home filled with love, activity, and understanding. Here’s what I’m hoping for in my forever family: Active Lifestyle: I thrive with plenty of outdoor time, walks, and adventures. Gentle Patience: I’m still learning the ropes, and with your guidance, I’ll be the best companion ever. Companionship: I adore being around people and will happily keep you company wherever you go. Last Message If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, I might be the perfect fit for you. Let’s start this amazing journey together—I can’t wait to meet you! With love and tail wags,Duke  Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb0x-MWUe-0&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jxw2A9wUxhLxBOlewgf2iu- ##2256505##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Bruce Age: 6 years old approximate  Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Alaskan Malamute  Color: Black & White  Weight: 32kg  All About Me Bruce is a four-year-old Alaskan Malamute weighing 32kg. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and is ready to find his forever home. He was found as a stray and ended up in a city pound, but despite having a microchip, no one came for him. He was at risk of euthanasia before being rescued and has now been waiting in a shelter for over a year. Hot and humid summers in Korea have been challenging for him, and he would thrive in a home where he can stay comfortable and cool. He is affectionate and enjoys meeting people, often leaning in for pets and belly rubs. He also tolerates grooming well but sheds heavily, as expected for his breed. Personality and Social Skills Bruce is friendly and social, approaching both familiar and unfamiliar people with ease. He enjoys attention and does not mind being handled, including being picked up under his belly. He is especially gentle with children under 13 and appreciates their company. With other dogs, he is generally well-mannered. He greets new dogs politely but does not always engage in play. If another dog initiates conflict, he may respond, so introductions to unfamiliar dogs should be handled with care. His response to cats is unknown, as he has not been tested around them. Energy and Activities Bruce has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities but settles down calmly afterward. He walks well on a leash, though he may pull at times. He is confident in urban environments and is not easily startled by sudden noises. He loves car rides, is able to get in and out of the car on his own, and enjoys looking out the window or resting during trips. Training and Habits Bruce is crate-trained and remains calm in a kennel. He primarily relieves himself outdoors and may mark in new environments, which can be managed with training. He does not exhibit separation anxiety and rarely barks. When it comes to food, he does not guard his meals from people but may growl softly if another dog approaches while he is eating. He is not overly possessive, but he can sometimes hold onto objects in his mouth and may need continued "leave it" training. Ideal Home Bruce would do well in a home that can provide him with regular outdoor exercise and a cool, comfortable environment. He enjoys human companionship and would benefit from a family that appreciates his affectionate nature. He could live with other dogs if introductions are managed carefully. Special Notes Bruce is an affectionate, social dog who loves attention and companionship. He is well-adjusted to various environments and is confident on walks and car rides. While he does not show aggression, he may need continued training in resource guarding and leash manners. ##2304847##

Story
My wife & I picked up Juneau from Teton Malamutes in Eastern ID in August 2024. At that time, my wife was part of a clinical trial for metastatic pancreatic cancer and Juneau kept her company at home and brought her lots of joy while I was at work during the weekdays. However, after a hard-fought battle, my wife sadly passed away in January of this year, leaving Juneau to me. Our other Malamute is old enough to be left home alone while I'm at work, but Juneau isn't there yet as a 9-month-old puppy. Juneau is extremely loving, playful, and adventurous, but due to my re-introduction to work after my wife's passing, among other immovable factors, I'm beyond my bandwidth and unable to give this adorable fluffball the care and attention she needs to truly thrive. I want the best for Juneau, so I am looking for a caring & dedicated person or family in a stable, love-filled home to adopt her so she can continue living an incredible life in these early months of her development and beyond!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.SUMMIT has a typical malamute personality.  Independent, smart, playful, and affectionate, but only when he wants to be. He is crate trained, however, if he's left in the crate, for what he considers is too long, he will find a way out.  A large fenced yard for him to run zoomies and burn energy would be ideal.  He enjoys long daily walks where he can explore.  He also loves car rides.  If he could go on a car ride to a place to walk, he would love the adventure.  After the walk, he loves to cuddle and relax with his humans. SUMMIT gets very excited at seeing other dogs as he wants to play, but not all dogs appreciate his enthusiasm.  It may be best that he is in an only dog family.  SUMMIT's furever family should have the time to spend with him, take him on many adventures, and give him lots of pets and attention.
