My name is Nordic and I am the new pup in town. I was found as a stray and taken to a shelter that could not keep me. So the nice people at WAMAL came to my rescue and boy was I relieved! You see I have some husky in my gene pool as seen by my beautiful, clear blue eyes and slightly slender body. But, I have a blocky head, big paws and the calmer demeanor of a malamute. I have been called a lover as I am very happy to sit by your side and soak up as much love and attention as I can get. I have also mastered a classic malamute trait called the lean in that I like to lean up against you and show you my affection. I ride in cars well and enjoy the fresh air on my face. I do have issues with people trying to take away my food bowl so you must be cautious with that. I am extremely friendly and am interested in meeting other dogs, which I do very fast and confident and I like to get right up in their face to do so! So far the few dogs I have met have been nice to me. As for cats, they are interesting and I like to pull towards them and check them out; I think if one ran I would want to chase it! I am young, have good energy, yet I can be very tranquil and observant. I am not sure if I am house-trained yet, but I am very smart and eager to lean. I do know how to sit and lie-down and I take treats softly. Will you consider making me your new buddy?
