Description
Dog Breed: Alaskan Malamute / Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Nellie and her sister, Juno, are a bonded pair who came to us completely shut down from the shelter. But like so many who are so terrified inside those scary walls, once in a foster home, things change almost immediately! These girls are sweet, adore human contact and are great with other dogs. Once they're spayed and Juno gains a bit more weight, they'll be ready for their forever home, together. Both girls are being fostered in Utah.

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.
