Learn more about the Alaskan Malamute.
HAKU was a return visitor to one of our amazing shelter partners and this most recent time his owners did not claim him, allowing the shelter to reach out to WAMAL to get him into an amazing furever home! He is underweight and was stressed in the shelter environment, though still did well with the staff. Haku would do best in a malamute experienced home and may do well with a canine companion. Once he settles in we expect he will be a wonderful companion, and even allowed our transporter to hold his paw while he rode shotgun! He walks well on leash and enjoyed laying down in the play yard and rubbing his body all over the grass! He is described by one of our volunteers as 'a really cool guy' and we could not agree more! Haku enjoys treats and will sit for them (though he tries to protest with barking!) but then will sit and gladly gulps it down! It is good to see he is treat motivated as it will help him get back up to a healthy weight and also be a great bonding practice with his new family. Video of HAKU:
