✨COURTESY LISTING✨

🐾 Meet Nala — the sweetest little adventure buddy! 🐾
📍 Auburn, WA

Nala is a 1.5-year-old, 28 lb Malamute/Husky mix who’s small for her breed but BIG in personality! She survived parvo as a puppy and is now healthy, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find her forever family.

Nala is goofy, loving, playful, high-energy, and super cuddly. She LOVES people, other animals, blanket snuggles, and watching movies. She’s used to sleeping indoors in her cozy bed and enjoys twice-daily walks, park time, and watching ducks and squirrels.

She has allergies to salmon/fish, but she happily eats chicken, beef, veggies, mixed dry/wet food, and (mysteriously!) Temptations cat treats. She also loves fruit, ice water, and all her favorite toys—her lamb, octopus, teddy bear, and any bouncy or noisy toy.

Her ideal home is one where she is rarely kenneled, gets tons of attention, and has space to run and play.

📞 Interested in Nala? Contact Gillian: (509) 771-1971

🐕 Meet Maggie – Your Loyal, Fluffy Best Friend!

Maggie is a stunning 8 year old, 85 lb long-coat Akita/Malamute mix with a mellow yet playful personality and a whole lot of love to give! ❤️

She adores people and craves affection — especially belly rubs and brushing sessions — but she also appreciates her independence (classic Malamute vibes!). Her favorite pastimes include chasing toys, playing tug-of-war, and chewing on her favorite squeakies.

Maggie loves meeting new people, but she’d prefer to be the only pet in her home so she can rule as the fluffy queen she truly is. 👑 She’s also a wonderful car ride companion and enjoys any adventure that ends with snuggles.

✨ From her foster:
“Someone is missing out on a wonderful dog. I've fostered Maggie for six months and she has been an absolute joy. She knows her commands (sit, stay, OK). She doesn’t bark or growl, walks beautifully on a leash, and never guards her food. She only chews her toys — no furniture or shoes harmed! Maggie is gentle, calm, and sweet. As she’s a bit older, she’d be ideal for someone who wants a loving companion without a 10–12 year commitment. Please consider making Maggie part of your family.”

This sweet girl deserves a cozy home with a big yard, a comfy couch, and plenty of belly rubs. 🏡💕

📩 Interested in meeting Maggie?
Apply today at www.wamal.com or email [email protected] for more information.

Available for adoption in Oregon & Washington

❤️ Please share to help Maggie find her forever home!

Thank woooo to Kelsey, Carolyn, Lisa, Samuel and some anonymous donors for all the fun toys and treats sent to the dogs this week!

Gwapo is not so sure about the cones, but don’t worry, they’re for scent work and not a costume 😅

Check out our wishlists for more awesome stuff to treat the dogs this holiday season:

✨COURTESY LISTING✨

Duke is a happy-go-lucky 4 year old, 70 lb Alaskan Malamute mix. He LOVES to go on walks but still needs a strong handler at this point. He will bolt for a squirrel or other small prey. He is not reactive to other dogs but curious about any dogs he meets. Most of his playmates that he chooses are females but he seems to get along with everybody.

He loves to play with toys and gets energized by cool weather. He does the cutest hops when we first start our walk now that the weather has cooled. He would be a wonderful hiking buddy since his preference for walks is to walk single file in front of his handler. He loves car rides. He will need a strong enclosure if not with his person. He will destruct a chain link pen to be with his people, but sleeps in a crate every night with no issues.

He is an easy keeper who eats any brand of food. Duke is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. Message us if you want more information on this handsome fellow.

Location: Seattle, WA

🐾 Meet Logan – Your Loyal, Laid-Back Companion🐾

Looking for a mature, easygoing dog who’s already trained and full of love? ❤️ Meet Logan, a 7-year-old, 93 lb Malamute/Husky mix who might just be the perfect addition to your home! 🏡

🐶 About Logan:
✔️ Knows sit, down, and stay
✔️ Loves short walk, belly rubs and cuddling
✔️ Treat-motivated and likes playing with toys
✔️ Good with calm female dogs (slow intros needed)
✔️ Would love being your one and only 🐕

Logan can be a bit selective with new canine friends. He’d thrive as the solo king of the castle but can coexist with the right pup. Because of his size and need for a calm space, Logan would do best in an adult only home.

🐾 Sometimes shy at first, Logan just needs a little time to trust. Once he bonds with you, he’s all in — snuggly, sweet, and ready to be your shadow. 💞

Logan is looking for a loving home where he can relax, cuddle, and enjoy his golden years in peace. ✨ Are you his forever family? 🏠💙

🌲 Available for adoption or foster in WA & OR!

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Logan, visit wamal.com or email us with questions: [email protected]

✨ Can’t adopt? Please SHARE — your share might be the one that finds his forever home!

Meet Jericho – Your New Adventure Buddy and Cuddle Companion!

🐾 6 years old | 🐶 81 lbs | 🐕 Malamute Mix

Looking for a fun-loving, toy-tossing, cuddle-seeking pup? Meet Jericho, a 6-year-old Malamute mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! 💖

Jericho loves toys, playing fetch (when he feels like it!), and especially enjoys destroying stuffed animals in the most joyful way. For him, it’s all about having fun! 😄

Once playtime is over, Jericho turns into a total sweetheart. He’s calm, affectionate, and loves soaking up attention 💕. He gets along well with other dogs and typically ignores the little barky ones—he's too chill to bother 😎.

Jericho is also a great travel companion 🚗—he hops right into the car and is ready for any adventure. He enjoys walks 🐾 and would benefit from regular activity to help trim down a bit of his extra “fluff.” He’s also a big fan of treats and, admittedly, a little too interested in kitchen counters—so watch your snacks! 👀

If you’re searching for a loyal buddy who’s equal parts playmate and snuggle bug, Jericho is your boy. Come meet him and see just how much joy he’ll bring into your life! 🥰

📍 Adoptable in Washington & Oregon

📩 To adopt or foster Jericho, visit wamal.com or email [email protected]

❤️ Please share to help this sweet boy find his forever home!

🐾 COURTESY LISTING – BONDED PAIR 🐾

Meet Togo & Willow

Hi, I’m Togo – a 4-year-old, 65 lb pup with a huge heart and an even bigger love for my best girl, Willow. I may be compact, but I’m bursting with personality! I’m playful, affectionate, and always up for belly rubs, snuggles, and a little adventure. I get along well with friendly dogs and might tolerate cats if I absolutely must.
I’m a total sweetheart who just needs some gentle guidance and lots of love. I’m learning new things every day – like leash manners, house training, and how to trust kind humans again. With your patience, I promise I’ll shine.

And I’m Willow – a 3-year-old, 65 lb soft-hearted lady with a gentle soul and a survivor’s spirit. I spent a long time fending for myself in the countryside, but I made it through – thanks to the friendship and loyalty of my best buddy, Togo. He’s been my rock, and we’re a bonded pair looking for a forever home together. I love quiet walks, soft pets, and cozy time indoors with Togo and our foster family. I’m respectful with other friendly dogs and will politely set my boundaries if needed. I’m still learning that the world can be a safe place, but I know that with time, love, and kindness, I’ll become the loyal, loving companion I was meant to be.

💛 Two hearts, one journey – and maybe, a home with you?

If you have room in your heart for two sweet souls, we would love to meet you. We promise to fill your home with love, snuggles, and the kind of joy only a bonded pair can bring.

This Giving Tuesday, Nicole & Dakota need us more than ever.
These sweet sisters have overcome some major medical hurdles, but the bills have been heavy—and they’ve been in rescue far too long.
If you can open your heart (and maybe your wallet), WAMAL could truly use the help.
💙 Every dollar gives these girls a chance at the healthy, happy future they deserve.

This Giving Tuesday consider making a tax-deductible donation towards their care and others like them.
