An update from Paloma's foster mom:
I am not sure where Paloma got her name (it means dove in Spanish) because it does not fit her personality. I still call her that half the time, but the rest of the time I call her Squiggles. This is one sqiggley-wiggley girl! She is young, strong, and exuberantly interested in everything.

Paloma's main mission in life is to keep the yard free of fish, possums, mice, moles, birds, and squirrels. (My job is to restock the pond and restack the woodpile!) When she is not patrolling the trees or fishing in the pond, she is usually running 28 mph laps around the yard with her foster brother Lobo (who retreats to the top of the dog house when he is too pooped to run any more). This is one energetic girl!

Cats fall into Paloma's category of pesky critters. If she spots one while out for a walk and you are holding her leash the wrong way, she will likely pop your fingers right off going after it. She would really prefer a home without a pesky cat...or she will spend her whole life trying to get rid of it for you.

Paloma has the typical female malamute temperament of being choosy about her doggie friends so she will need to meet any potential friend before adoption. She does best with northern breed males who will let her be the boss. She loves to hike and in this setting I have noticed she is a bit bossy or snappy with smaller children. Older children are fine.

Over all she is a wonderful malamute who would love a forever home that understands the female malamute temperament and can keep her busy running or hiking.

Paloma is being cared for in Shoreline (North Seattle), WA.
