Our friends over at NW Snowdog Rescue Too are hosting their first ever virtual 5k, Husky Hustle 5K! Sign up to walk, crawl or even jog the weekend of May 20-22nd and help them help more snow dogs!
Registration is open for our first ever virtual Husky Hustle 5K. Sign up today! Your registration comes with a sweet t-shirt (modeled here by our very own Nathan and Cathy). This is a fundraising fun run/walk/move-however-you’d-like ”race”. Your support helps our dogs, like Kenai and Luna (pictured here). Do it for the dogs!
Kona is a sweet, gentle and loving Malamute mix, he is around 6 years old and weighs 80 lbs. He is ready to find his forever home!
Kona is a calm and sweet dog who is happy to just be where his people are. He is a more nervous/reserved dog and is fearful in new or busy environments. He will require a home where there is low activity and not a lot of new people coming and going. He is the perfect fit for a single owner or couple that likes to relax at home, and do daily walks in a quiet neighborhood. He is not an apartment or city dog. Once Kona has established his trust with his people, he is super loving and a velcro dog.
Kona feels more confident with another dog around. We are looking for a home that has a calm companion dog for him in the home. He enjoys walks and walks well on leash. He needs to live in a quiet area with a fenced yard for him to lounge and relax with his forever family. He is not tested with cats. Kona can have some separation anxiety so will need a family that is not gone long hours. His separation anxiety is improved when he has another dog around for companionship and confidence.
Kona is being lovingly cared for at Forever Home Dog Rescue. For more info and to meet Kona, please contact them directly at: [email protected]
IMPORTANT - Please Note:
Kona is being listed as a courtesy. WAMAL has not evaluated this dog in person and any information we have listed here is information provided by the rescue. WAMAL cannot guarantee this information or take responsibility for any inaccurate information posted in this listing.

Did you know that you can walk, run, jog, or even hike with your dog and raise funds for WAMAL at the same time? Just download the WoofTrax - Walk for a Dog and/or ResQWalk apps and pick WAMAL as your charity. You do have to "turn the apps on” with each use but every step you take helps the dogs!

Django is a sweet 11 year old senior Malamute mix who is ready to join your family! Do you enjoy long walks in the woods? Cuddling on the couch? Smelling the roses and hanging out in the yard? Django is the dog for you! He is a bright-eyed pup that loves to be the center of attention! Django has never met a stranger and will come greet you politely then nudge your hand to get some petting. He is 100% a people dog!
Django does well in the house, walks well on leash, and knows multiple commands including 'sit', 'stay', and 'lie down'. Chasing balls is a fun way to exercise along with a couple of walks each day. Django is an easy dog to care for and love!

Diamond is a stunning 3 year old, 75 pound Malamute mix that is seeking her furever home! She truly sparkles and will be the gem of her new pack! She is ready to play with her canine companions and is just a joy to watch. Toys are also super fun and she will bring a toy over to one of her pack mates to engage in play - so cute!
While she enjoys a few rounds of wrestlemania (and kind of has a great wrestler name!), she also knows how to relax and chill out with her pack. She thinks couches are just the best and will happily sit next to you for movie night. She loves to spend time with her people and movie night is a perfect time for her to nudge your hand to get pets and attention. She is such a good girl that she will even happily share your snacks, and takes treats very gently!
Along with being a good girl, Diamond is also intelligent and knows a lot of commands including 'sit', 'lay down', 'paw', and 'speak', is house trained, and does well in the car. Diamond shines brighter than her namesake and will tell Woooo all about how amazing and sweet she is!
If you are interested in adopting Diamond, please visit our website and complete an adoption form. Questions? Please email us at: [email protected]

Now that summer is around the corner, WAMAL is in need of "back up fosters" for if/when current fosters go on vacation. Would you be willing to open your home and heart temporarily?
Not sure about opening your home temporarily to a new dog? Maybe share your favorite "malamute/northern breed approved" dog sitters with us?
Please email [email protected] and put "vacation foster" in the subject line.

Coco is a sweet 8 month old Malamute pup. If you pretend to speak Malamute, she will talk back to you or come up and put her head onto your lap. Coco already knows 'sit', 'come', and 'paw'. She is also housebroken, is an ideal car passenger, and walks well on leash.
Coco is the perfect combination of exercise buddy for walks or hikes, and Netflix and chill companion. Outdoor play time is one of her favorite things - especially if there are bouncy balls, stuffed animals or another canine companion involved! Even more than play time she loves people! She is best described as a sweet girl who loves belly scratches and company. Coco will make a wonderful family pup and can't wait to meet you!
If you are interested in adopting Coco, please visit our website and complete an online adoption form. Questions? Please email us at: [email protected]

Nikita is a lovely 2½ year old Malamute & Akita mix that is a social butterfly with people! She will greet you by putting up a paw to shake followed shortly by the other paw to put on you for a hug - SO cute! A calm and laid back girl, she likes being indoors and outside, spending time wherever you are.
She is house trained, and knows her basic commands. Treat motivated, she will be happy to learn even more commands. In addition to training, walking will be a great way to bond with her as well as playing in the yard. Nikita likes chasing balls and will usually bring them back to you! Nikita wants you to come meet her today - she will come right up smiling to say hi before giving you some kisses!

URGENT: FOSTER NEEDED BY MAY 6TH!
Yuki is a 4 year old female Malamute mix who is in need of a foster home ASAP!
She is excited to learn and is fascinated with home life and all the things you can find in new rooms. Yuki is very creative and likes to explore and see what she can find. She has played with new dogs large and small and seems to love them all and adjusts her play as needed. Yuki is keeping busy working on commands like sit and wait. She does get excited and likes to jump, woo and paw at her human friends so she's learning to manage her impulses as well. She loves to get out and exercise and is known to be a good leash walker even when other dogs get to run free nearby her.
Yuki is currently residing with her owners in the Seattle area. If you are available to foster her, please email: [email protected] or [email protected]

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.
Should you care to learn more about joining our volunteer ‘pack’ please email us at [email protected].
