Description
Dog Breed: Alaskan Malamute (medium coat). Hey there, over here! I’m Whiskey — and yes, the only thing larger than me is my heart (and maybe my head… but only because I’ve got so many good thoughts in there). I might look like a big tough guy, but I promise I’m more gentle giant than guard dog. My favorite things? Head scratches, belly rubs, and stomping around in the kiddie pool like it’s my personal splash zone. Sometimes I stick my nose in the water just to see what happens — science, you know? The volunteers here say I’m one of the sweetest dogs in the shelter (okay, maybe I started that rumor… but they didn’t deny it!). I currently share my space with another dog, and we get along just fine — I’ve got good manners and a chill vibe with all my friends. If you’ve got room in your home (and maybe a slightly oversized dog bed), I promise to fill it — and your heart — with love, laughs, and a few soggy pawprints. Come meet me and see why big dogs make the best cuddlers. ??— Love, Whiskey Whiskey has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home. He's also sharing his shelter suite with a friend he met at the shelter. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out his playgroup video here: To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!

Overview:
The Alaskan Malamute is a powerful and ancient arctic breed, originating from the Mahlemut Inupiaq people of Alaska, where they were indispensable for hauling heavy sleds and assisting hunters. Physically, they are a large, robust spitz-type dog, easily recognizable by their thick double coat (typically grey and white, or red and white), strong build, and often striking dark almond-shaped eyes that convey an intelligent and gentle expression. Temperamentally, Malamutes are known for being affectionate, loyal, and playful with their families, but also possess an independent streak and a strong prey drive. While generally good with children when properly socialized, their size and strength necessitate supervision. They are definitely not suited for apartment living due to their high energy levels and need for ample exercise; a home with a secure yard and active owners is ideal. Regarding health, common concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and certain eye conditions. Potential owners should be prepared for their grooming needs and commitment to consistent training.
