SHIMO - Alaskan Malamute Dog for Adoption in Fairbanks, Alaska

Shimo (A142275) is an 8-week-old AK Malamute puppy who weighed 11 pounds on intake but will be an X-Large dog! 06/11/26 These adorable and mischievous little pups are back from foster and eager to find their new loving homes! They are small little fluff balls currently, but will grow into rather large dogs so it is important that you have done your research on the breed prior to adopting. They have already found that digging is the best and can be quite the little escape artists (they love to play follow the leader). In typical puppy fashion, they will need continued help with potty training, kennel-training, basic commands, and continued positive socialization. While in foster, they were socialized with children and other pets (they met dogs and cats)! It is important that appropriate introductions are made with all new people and animals. Puppies are a lot of work and a big responsibility. However, they are worth the reward if you have the time to devote to them! If you are interested in meeting any of these adorable friends, please let us know!
