Description
Dog Breed: Alaskan Malamute (short coat). Sour (A141114) is a 2-year-old malamute who weighed nearly 90 lbs at intake! 02/07/26 Don't let her name fool you, this young malamute is a super sweetheart! Sour was brought to the shelter due to no fault of her own. She is a super goofy and happy girl, but she would like to be an only pet. Sour does not get along well with other dogs, and while she has not had experience with other animals, we do not feel that she would do well with sharing the love and attention. Sour also does not have experience with kiddos, so please make sure to do slow and controlled introductions and remember that malamutes are large dogs and she may not have total body awareness. Sour was described as being outgoing, friendly and affectionate. She rides well in the car but she has been known to dig, chew and be vocal. It is unclear if Sour is housebroken or kennel trained, so be prepared to cross these bridges together. Routine and consistency will be the key to helping her master these behaviors. If you are interested in making Sour the center of your world, as she strongly believes she should be, please give the shelter a call!

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.
