Alaskan Malamute Dogs Available for Adoption in Charlotte, North Carolina

*Please reach out to the foster at, zachmurphy206@gmail.com* Nanook is a very friendly, sweet, and gentle dog. He doesn't appear to know commands, although that could change once he's recovered from surgery, but he is potty trained. He lets men and women pet him, and shows zero aggression towards people. He'll eat food gently from your hand, and tenderly lick your fingers after. He hasn't been tested with other animals because of his surgery. He hasn't destroyed any furniture or chewed on anything he's not supposed to. He doesn't really bark, he's only let out one quiet raspy howl, and that was to let us know he really wanted to go outside. Nanook would be great for someone with an enclosed backyard... the bigger the better but just really likes to be outside. I could see him hanging out in a smaller backyard too, just sitting on the porch, enjoying nature watching the world go by. Someone that could take him on runs and walks would be ideal, he's still recovering from surgery but I can tell he'll want to exercise. Nanook is a 10/10 sweetheart - he is somebody's forever dog.
