More about the shelter
WAMAL was formed in 1998 by Cindy Neely to help with Malamute Rescue in the greater Northwest area to cover rescue needs outside of the scope of Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue. Since that time we have rescued on average about 100 Malamutes a year and have rescued many hundreds to date. While none of this would have originally happened without a small few, it's the numerous (but sometimes still too few) volunteers that make rescue happen.
Applications are accepted online, then a home visit is scheduled unless the potential adopter does not qualify. After the home visit evaluation form is filled in online, we generally approve and the Adoption Team begins trying to match the humans with a "best fit" mal. We send dog bios to the adopter, who agrees to meet or passes on a particular dog. The adoption fee is $300 ($200 for seniors) which we collect at the time of adoption and hold for two weeks (sometimes longer) until the adoption is finalized.
About SHELBY
Distance: 3,809 Miles
Little Miss SHELBY is a sweetheart with a big smile and a nonstop tail wag! Based on her size, we expect she is a malamute and husky mix, bringing the best of both breeds. She knows basic commands, "sit", "down" and "wait" but could use further training. She is food motivated which will help when teaching her new commands and tricks. SHELBY is good on the leash and will enjoy joining you on all of your outdoor adventures. She is a loving, playful, active girl who generally does well with other dogs once they have established who is boss in the house (hint: it's her!).
SHELBY has food allergies that will require a special diet and lifetime of medication. Therefore, she needs a family that can afford her medications, special food and has the time to administrator them.
SHELBY would love for you to open up your home to her and she promises to not steal the couch...well, at least not the whole couch!
SHELBY is currently being fostered by a loving family in Eastern Washington.
