Alaskan Malamute Dogs Available for Adoption in Worcester, Massachusetts

Malibu is a 9 years, 1 month old female Alaskan Malamute/Mix who weighs 111 pounds.

Meet Malibu and Diesel, the ultimate senior "odd couple" who have spent their entire lives bonded and would love start their next chapter still together. They came to the shelter because their family sadly lost housing.

Malibu is a stunning 100 lb., 10-year-old Malamute with a soft heart behind her initially shy demeanor. Give her a little time (and maybe a treat or two), and she quickly warms up into a loyal, affectionate and super smart companion. She prefers a quieter home with calm, responsible adults and/ or teens. True to her breed, Malibu has a signature Malamute howl that is so iconic she even taught a Chihuahua at the shelter to join in!

Diesel is her easygoing counterpart. He is a social, confident guy who enjoys meeting new people and brings a laid-back charm wherever he goes. He's looking for adopters who understand and can keep up with his typical care needs, and in return, he offers steady companionship and a great personality. Diesel will need adopters who are dedicated to his need to keep his skin/coat clean and fresh.

Together, they balance each other beautifully. This pair have so much personality, sweet, soulful, and full of character. Malibu and Diesel are ready to bring double the love to a home that will cherish them both.

If you are interested in adopting this bonded pair, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm, with all of your household members. If you are unable to come during those times please email Dogs@WorcesterARL.org for times that we may have available by appointment.
