Update: Brando is now fully recover from his ordeal and is ready to move on to his new forever home. He has reached a healthy weight of 99 lbs. His skin is healed and his allergies are being well controlled.

Brando is a mature adult looking for a family to love. He was rescued along with 5 other Malamutes after his owner passed away recently. He was living high in the mountains chained to a tree and somewhat neglected. Brando is recovering from the effects of very poor nutrition and little exercise. He is slowly gaining weight and putting on muscle, but could stand to gain another 10 or 15 pounds. He came to WAMAL with a bad skin infection probably caused by allergies, but is responding well to treatment.

Brando is a big loving energetic character who will come right up to you and lean in for a big body hug. He loves going for easy walks and sleeping on the sunny porch. Most of all he loves affection and attention from people. He is easy-going, cooperative, great on the leash and good in the car. Brando is not interested in escaping and comes when called. He loves all people (unknown with children) and is mostly indifferent to other dogs, although he can be growly with other males. He would most likely prefer to be an only dog, but may do okay with a friendly female dog close to his size.

Do you have experience with large Malamutes and have some time on your hands for training and lots of extra doses of affection? Brando is waiting to start the life he has been dreaming about. Please fill out our online application and we will schedule your home visit asap.

Brando is being lovingly fostered in Colfax, WA.
