Alaskan Malamute Dogs Available for Adoption

Pet ID 60595708


Nymeria is an approximately 3–4-year-old Alaskan Malamute (maybe mixed with mastiff or something giant breed, we are not positive). She is a big girl, probably clocking in somewhere between 110 and 120 pounds. Nymeria came to us as a stray and was never claimed. We aren't sure how someone could lose something so big and not come looking, but that's all in the past now. Only good things lie ahead for this XL beauty! Direwolf comparisons aside, this girl is massive in person and catches everyone's attention wherever she goes. Nymeria is sweet and playful and has the typical friendly but slightly aloof personality of these northern breed dogs. She has shown a surprisingly goofy and playful side when meeting other dogs! Malamutes are striking but do require a lot of time and care. We cannot implore people enough to do as much breed research as possible when considering adoption! Check out this one-of-a-kind gal ASAP!

The Alaskan Malamute is a powerful and dignified Arctic sled dog known for its strength, endurance, and friendly demeanor. Renowned for its wolf like appearance, this breed sports a dense double coat, erect ears, and a plumed tail. Originating from Alaska, these loyal and affectionate dogs thrive in cold climates and enjoy staying active. With a history deeply rooted in sledding and hauling heavy loads, the Alaskan Malamute is a devoted companion suitable for experienced owners who can meet their exercise and training needs.

The Shelter is currently closed to the public during NYPAUSE due to the COVID 9 pandemic. If you are interested...
