Adoption details

Please contact TAMR (tamr@texalmal.org) for more information about this pet.

MIKO is quite a character and not afraid to speak her mind! She enjoys walks, visiting dog parks, and just hanging out with friends. Miko isnt a great fan of other girls or over active dogs, but is tolerant of most calm friendly dogs and doesnt bother cats. She prefers being loose inside and does well other than an often active nose and interest in food. Miko enjoys the company of people and be quite talkative whe she has something to say. She even shows off with a few tricks (for cookies of course)... did we say she's a character?

Miko takes joint suppliments due to her age and, although quite healthy, may one day need daily medicine to maintain her current health.

Foster and adoption applications for this special girl are welcome now!

Alaskan Malamutes are warm and friendly, playful, gentle, intelligent and silly. Their exquisite beauty is the result of centuries of adaptation to the harsh Arctic climate where they lived as close companions to the Mahlemut Eskimos, pulling heavy sledges over terrible terrain in harsh weather. Malamutes shed twice a year and should be brushed regularly. Since they are so large, they should never be left alone with small children unsupervised (this is true of any dog). Malamutes participate in many sports such as backpacking, weight-pulling, carting, agility and competition obedience. Their best-known feature is their extraordinary sweetness of temperament.
