🐾 Meet Dakota & Nicole 🐾

Two beautiful souls. One unbreakable bond. Waiting for their happily ever after. 💞

At 7 years old, this bonded Malamute–Irish Wolfhound mix duo has spent every moment side by side. Now, they’re searching for a family who will love them just like they love each other — endlessly, unconditionally, and forever. 🏡❤️

💫 Dakota — the gentle sweetheart. A little shy at first, but once she trusts you, her heart is yours.
💫 Nicole — the social butterfly. Full of joy, love, and tail wags, always ready to play or snuggle by your side.
Together, they’re the perfect balance — playful, loving, and fiercely loyal. 🐕‍🦺🐕

They adore:
🌲 Outdoor adventures
🚗 Car rides
💤 Cuddling up after a fun-filled day

They know their basic commands and are ready to be both your adventure buddies and your cozy companions. 🐾

Dakota & Nicole are a bonded pair and must stay together — because love like theirs is meant to last a lifetime. 🐶💞🐶

📍Available for adoption in WA & OR!

🐾Meet Coco🐾💙

Coco is a 9-year-old, 81-lb Malamute/Samoyed mix who’s searching for his special human. This big, fluffy sweetheart is a lover, and once you’ve earned his trust, you’ve gained a loyal companion for life. 🤍🐺

Coco is always up for an adventure. He’ll happily hop in the car 🚗, explore a local park 🌳, or hit the trail 🥾 and soak up all the exciting sounds and sniffs. He loves being outside—whether he’s trotting beside you or simply lounging in the grass while you garden. 🌼

Indoors, he’s just as wonderful. Coco is house trained, polite, and eager to learn your routine—he catches on quickly with a little guidance. 🏡✨ He recently spent a month with a foster who adored him. He was respectful of her three small dogs, but slow introductions are a must. Coco has a tender heart and needs to know he’s loved just as much as everyone else in the home.

He also recently had a full grooming session ✂️🛁 and needed to be shaved down, but don’t worry—his gorgeous, flufftastic coat will be back in no time. This boy is well on his way to returning to his full majestic glory. ❄️🐕

Physically, Coco is in his prime—sharp senses, great reflexes, and a healthy body. His only challenge is that he loves deeply and can worry when left alone. But with patience and reassurance, he settles beautifully. A little time, consistency, and plenty of “Good boy!” go a long way. 🐶💛

Coco’s ideal home:

Adults only, or no young children 👨‍🦳👩

No cats 🚫🐱

A human who will give him time, consistency, and lots of love 💞

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and you’re ready to build a true bond, Coco may be your dog. He’s waiting for his person—maybe that’s you. 🐾✨

🐾 Meet Buck – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Forever Friend 🐾

Buck is a 2.5-year-old Malamute with a shy heart and a beautiful soul. 💙 He’s looking for a forever home with a female dog companion to help him feel safe and loved.

After a tough start to life, including being bullied by male dogs in his original pack and living as a stray, Buck is still learning to trust humans. But this sweet boy loves female dogs, enjoys watching kids, and will even take treats gently from your hand. 🦴

He's not quite ready for leashes or cuddles yet—but he will sing you the most beautiful Malamute songs. 🎶🐺
🏡 Buck’s ideal home:
✔️ Calm & patient
✔️ Has a resident female dog
✔️ Quiet environment
✔️ Experience with shy or semi-feral dogs

He needs time, love, and a stable home where he can truly blossom. Could you be the one to give Buck the forever home that he deserves?

📍 Deer Park, WA
🛷 Available for adoption through NW Snowdog Rescue Too

Profile:
Age: 4 years old
Breed: Husky/Malamute Mix (neutered)
Status: Single, loyal and ready to commit

About Me:
Hi I'm Lobo—a handsome Husky & Malamute mix with a heart as big as my fluffy coat. My friends say I have the best smile and gorgeous eyes.I love hiking the trails and showing off my signature prance. When I’m excited, I prance like I’m on a runway—prepare to be impressed, and then crashing on the couch for some serious cuddle time. I’m equal parts adventurer and couch potato, and I promise to keep life fun.

Perfect Match:
I’m looking for a human who will forever spoil me with treats because I deserve them.Bonus points if you love hikes, Netflix marathons, squeaky toys and sleeping in on Sundays.

Relationship Status:
Single and ready to mingle 🐶💕 (but I promise I’ll be loyal forever).

Requirements for My Love Story:
✅️A fenced yard
✅️A signed adoption contract
✅️I’ll do best in a home without small kids or little critters to chase
✅️I’ve got a super high prey drive so I must be the only pet in home.

Ready to meet: Could you be the one to give him his happily ever after? 💙🐾

🐾 Meet Loki! 🐾

Loki is a 1.5 year old, 85 lb Alaskan Malamute full of love, energy, and adventure! He’s looking for an active home with a big, fenced yard and humans who have the time and heart for a big, snuggly boy.

🏃‍♂️ Needs lots of daily exercise
❌ Not a fit for homes with cats
🥾 Loves hiking, sniff walks, and camping
💙 Loyal, affectionate, and always ready to be by your side

Loki is house trained and knows several cues such as "sit" and "down". He loves playing and chasing toys but can get a bit excited with his jumping. He could use guidance in figuring out the best ways to channel all his puppyish enthusiasm and impulsivity. Although Loki enjoys playing with other dogs, he needs to be the only dog in his home.

If you have experience with Malamutes or similar breeds and want an adventure partner for life, Loki could be your perfect match!

Our story

WAMAL is a 100% volunteer run non-profit which serves Washington and Oregon. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and locations. In 2019, through an extremely generous donation from one of our supporters, we were able to open up our own small shelter where we are currently able to take in up to 8 rescues dogs. We use commercial kennels and foster homes for additional pups. The average number of dogs we have at any time ranges from 20-30, of all ages but rarely under 8 months old. Our adoption process involves an application followed by a home visit where we discuss the adoption process, answer questions and make sure applicants can provide a safe, loving and pet involved home for our rescues!

It takes a tremendous amount of volunteering to make WAMAL rescue possible and we open our homes and hearts to Malamutes in need. We are always looking for others who would like to help, in whatever form or amount of time people can donate. This organization 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 and loving working breed. If you would like to join us please email us at [email protected]. The pride (and pain) of our lives are our beloved Mals!

The first step for meeting/adopting a WAMAL Malamute is to complete the required adoption application at: http://www.wamal.com/adoptform.pl Once WAMAL receives the application the adoption process begins with scheduling a home visit.

If you are interested in fostering a rescue Malamute please visit our website at www.wamal.com and complete the Foster Home Application.
