Nanook
Nanook is approximately 3 years old, neutered male Alaskan Malamute, 97lbs. Up to date on vaccinations, heart worm/flea/tick preventatives, heart worm negative. Microchipped. He does have a Zinc deficiency, but that is common in snow-dog breeds.
Nanook is house-trained, kennel/crate-trained, and great on a leash. He is VERY smart and knows over 10 commands and is well-behaved. Nanook is very timid with strangers due to his past abuse. Once he warms up to you he is friendly, loving, and goofy. He was food aggressive in the beginning, but after teaching him who was Alpha (putting our hands in his food, holding his paws, taking his toys, etc.) he is now submissive and obedient in every way, but I guarantee this will take some time for a new owner again just like it did for us. He responds best to verbal commands since he has a history of abuse. (try not to use physical corrections for misbehavior).
Nanook has been very friendly with kids for us (but the kids he has interacted with have been kind and gentle). He is very gentle with kids and lights up around them.
Nanook will have to go to a home with NO OTHER ANIMALS. Nanook has attacked multiple dogs despite slow introductions via many different ways.
Likes:
Loving/gentle people, long walks, jogs, being outside in cool weather, FOOD, rough housing, playing fetch, playing hide and seek, playing in snow, & toys!
Dislikes:
Being brushed, other animals, sharing food/ treats/toys, curious looking strangers, being hot, being stuck inside all day, people who approach him quickly or reach hands at his face.
