Taku's owner's could no longer care for him because he kept breaking the lead they kept him tied to and they didn't have a fenced yard for him. They describe him as being very good with kids, but NO cats! He has already shown himself to be non-alpha around other dogs. He is a sweetheart who walks well on leash, rides wonderfully in the front seat of the car and who just wants to be someone's best buddy! Taku is a beautiful 2-1/2 year old sable long coat. Because he has a bit more coat than the average Malamute, his coat will take a little more grooming. A fenced yard is a must. Taku is being fostered in Snohomish, WA.
