🚨 Adopt Blitz: The Ultimate Adventure Buddy! 🚨

Meet Blitz, a 6.5-year-old, 127-lb bundle of goofy, lovable Malamute energy! If you’re looking for a big dog with an even bigger heart, Blitz is your guy! ❤️🐾

🚙 Loves car rides
🌊 Obsessed with swimming
🥾 Enjoys long walks
🏡 Chills in a fenced yard

Blitz is basically living for the ultimate day trip: 🚗➡️💦➡️🏞️. If you can provide this dream itinerary, he’ll love you forever!

This smart boy already knows commands like “sit,” “lay down,” “stay,” “go,” and “back up”—he’s ready to impress! But he’ll need a secure fenced yard because he’s been known to go on unplanned solo adventures.

🐶 Dog-friendly? Yes—he loves playdates but prefers to unwind solo.
👶 Kid-friendly? Older, considerate kids are totally cool!
🩺 Special needs? Blitz has some anxiety & skin allergies, which led to a partial tail amputation. His perfect family would be home often to give him the love and security he craves.

🏡 Located in WA or OR? Blitz is waiting for you! Adopt or foster him today: www.WAMAL.com

🐾COURTESY LISTING🐾

Koda, who we affectionately call Koda-Bear, is a very smart and sweet 3 year old, 84 lb Malamute & Husky mix. He easily learns new tricks quickly. Once he begins to trust you, Koda will fall to sleep while you brush him, just enjoying the love and attention. He also loves toys and has a favorite green one that he will want to bring with him to his new home.

Koda likes to play with other dogs, but not all dogs like him. Unfortunately, this is why Koda needs to find a new home, his doggie brother does not like him.

Koda-Bear is looking for a family that will continue to train him, play with him, spoil and love him like he deserves.

Location: Aberdeen, WA

If you would like to learn more about Koda-Bear, please email Lori: [email protected]

🐾COURTESY LISTING🐾

Denali is a 10 year old, 99 lb Alaskan Malamute mix that was brought to Joint Animal Services by a good samaritan who found him running in traffic. We suspect Denali has had a family in the past as he is leash trained and knows basic commands like “sit”. Since he has arrived, the staff have described Denali as curious, playful and gentle. He has been stealing lots of attention from shelter staff asking for lots of pets and treats and has loved his time outside of his kennel playing with toys.

Denali has had some interactions with other dogs while at the shelter and has exhibited relaxed and friendly behavior during these interactions.

Unfortunately we don’t know the circumstances that led to Denali’s current situation, but feel he would thrive in a family home. Denali is described as low energy- he would love to live out his elder years on some slow walks with his new family. He is a gentle giant and appears ready to give love and affection to anyone who has treats and pets for him.

Location: Olympia, WA

If you would like to learn more about Denali, please contact Joint Animal Services at
[email protected] or call (360)-352-2510

Meet Summit – Your New Adventure Buddy! 🐾

Summit is an 8-year-old, 75 lb Malamute & Husky mix with a heart full of love! This smart, independent, and playful pup is looking for a forever home where he can run, explore, and cuddle after a fun-filled day. Summit would thrive in a large, securely fenced yard to burn off energy, and he enjoys long daily walks to explore the world around him. Afterward, he’s ready to relax and snuggle with his humans!

Summit is crate trained but doesn't love being confined for long periods, so he’d do best with a family who has the time to spend with him and take him on daily adventures. If you’re an active family looking for a loyal companion, Summit might just be the perfect fit!

**Adoptable to WA & OR**

Interested in making Summit a part of your family? Please visit our website to fill out an adoption or foster form, or email us at [email protected] for more details.

Please share and help Summit find his furever home! 😊

🐾COURTESY LISTING🐾

Meet Wi******er!

This charming male 2.5-year-old, 75 lb brown and white Siberian Husky mix, has stolen our hearts with his remarkable leash manners and delightful personality. He came into rescue from eastern Washington in May, 2023. Unfortunately, Wi******er has never had a foster home and doesn't get much adoption interest. Could you be the one to change his luck?

Those who meet Wi******er are won over by his chill yet confident demeanor. He gets along great with most other dogs and loves to run and play. He's great on leash and would be a perfect running/hiking partner.

Wi******er is a people-loving dog and would be happiest with someone who is able to be home with him a lot. He's a little bit of a Velcro dog, but that's only because he's such a loving guy.

Wi******er is the perfect furry friend for anyone seeking a loyal and loving companion for their home. Let's find Wi******er his forever home filled with love and adventures!

Location: Seattle, WA

Neutered and UTD on vaccinations

Hades is an 7 year old, 75 lb sweet and gentle boy who thrives on attention from his humans. He is okay with several short walks each day, but a nice scenic walk or hike makes him very happy. He also loves the water, and a car ride with the windows cracked is always a great way to start an adventure.

Hades knows many commands including the basics "sit", "down," and "stay". He also responds to loving commands "hug", "kiss" and "cuddle", and fun commands like "dance" and "go through" where he will run through your legs like a tunnel. Despite his age, he still has a lot of puppy energy.

Hades would love his future furever home to be a quiet, relaxing environment for him where he can play, share your bed and feel like he is your #1 priority.

🐾COURTESY LISTING🐾

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED

Introducing Ghost! This stunning sweetheart is a playful and loving 5-year-old Malamute mix who is looking for his forever home!

Ghost is incredibly friendly, happy and loves to play around outside with his people! He is a leaner and loves pets and attention too. Ghost walks well on leash but can get excited and pull at times. He is large, around 75-80lbs and will need an adopter who can handle his size, strength, and his desire to be cuddled up in your arms!

Ghost has done well with other dogs in our care, and actually came from a home where he lived with two other large dogs. He would do well with another large laid back dog in the home or could do fine as an only dog soaking up all of the love and attention. No cats or small animals for him as he has a very high prey drive. He will do best in a home where his family is not gone long hours or takes him with them often.

Ghost is an active dog who will make an AMAZING adventure companion for any lucky outdoorsy family. He would love a home that takes him on many adventures as well as has a large yard for him to run and explore. Anything involving snow brings him so much joy and although he likes a good adventure, he can also be a total couch potato!

Although he is a super friendly and cuddly dude, he can be strong and bouncy and needs some continued basic obedience training. He has come a long ways on house training however and absolutely LOVES to cuddle with his person! Recommending an adult only home or a home with kids over the age of 12. Will also require a fence that is at least 6ft tall. Ghost is going to make an incredible addition to any lucky household that adopts him and will be a very loyal companion. He is UTD on shots, neutered and microchipped.

If you would like to learn more about Ghost, please contact : [email protected]

Blitz is a 6 1/2 year old, 127 lb goofy and lovable purebred Alaskan Malamute looking for a new home that can give him lots of love and attention.

He loves car rides, long walks and swimming. If he could have a car ride that takes him swimming followed by a long walk he would be in heaven! At home he enjoys chilling out in a large fenced yard and being with his people.

Blitz is a smart boy willing to learn and already knows many commands like "sit", "lay down", "stay", "go" and "back up". His future home will need a secured fence yard because he has been known to jump or climb over to go find his people.

Blitz gets along with other dogs and will enjoy some play time with them. However, he is happy to see them go home, so he can relax in his own quiet space. He is also OK with older considerate children.

Blitz has a little anxiety and possible skin allergies which has caused him to chew his own tail to the point where about 1/3 of it was recently amputated. His ideal future family could be retired, or work from home so he that is not left alone often.

If you meet Blitz, we are sure that he will charm you with his sweetness!

Meet Dakota & Nicole: The Perfect Pair Ready for Their Forever Home!🐾❤️

Are you looking for double the love and companionship? Look no further! Dakota and Nicole are an bonded pair of 7-year-old pups searching for their forever home together. With a unique mix of Alaskan Malamute and Irish Wolfhound, they are as charming as they are adorable!

Dakota is a sweet, gentle girl who may be a little shy at first but quickly warms up once she gets to know you. She’s a total love bug and can’t wait to shower you with affection once she feels comfortable! Nicole is the outgoing, playful sister who loves meeting new people. She’ll run right up to greet you with a wagging tail and ready to play! She’s full of energy and loves both toys and hanging out with Dakota.

They love outdoor adventures! They would thrive in a home with a yard where they can run and play, and they also enjoy car rides and being by your side. When they’re not playing, they’re content to relax and enjoy your company with cuddles and indoor downtime. They both know basic commands, like “sit,” “lay,” and “shake,” and they’re eager to learn more!

Dakota and Nicole are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. They are inseparable and will bring twice the love and happiness into your home!

Are you ready to make these two princesses the queens of your castle? They’re waiting to meet their perfect family, could it be you?

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.
