DALE THE ALASKAN MALAMUTE MIX NEEDS A NEW HOME

Description

Looking for a large-breed senior dog for adoption in Bakersfield, California and area? If you love older dogs with frosted faces and sweet personalities, you will definitely want to meet Dale the Alaskan Malamute Mix. This handsome boy is 9 years young and weighs an impressive 105 pounds. He is healthy, fixed, fully vaccinated, house-broken, micro-chipped and a gentleman who loves his people with all his heart. This amazing older dog has been obedience trained and knows many commands, including sit, shake-a-paw, and speak. He is very treat-motivated, but aren’t we all? Dale gets along with people of all ages, from babies to seniors. He is welcoming of new friends, and is as good as gold when you have company over. He’s also good with cats – in Dale’s eyes, cats are friends. Despite his age and size, Dale is active, playful and completely delightful. He loves to spend time outdoors, and keeps in shape going for walks and playing fetch (he’s a “fetch-a-holic”, and will gladly fetch from morning til night if you’re willing to throw the ball!). As he is an Alaskan Malamute mix, Dale has a prey drive and has been known to chase smaller animals including chickens, squirrels and other critters that in the wild would be considered food. This is just something the new owners should be aware of if they keep chickens, rabbits or other small animals. Dale likes to have the attention all to himself when it comes to the canine-human interactions in the family. For this reason, he needs to find a home where he is a cherished only dog. He is not a “dog park dog”, and is best kept home to play in a spacious, securely fenced yard, or walked by a confident owner aware of his propensity for aggression towards other dogs. Dale can’t wait to have fun with your kids, baby sit, give you a workout for your throwing arm, make you smile with his goofy, good-natured personality, and fill your home with love and your heart with joy.
