Personality should be the number one concern when choosing a malamute
companion -
please fill out the adoption information form and come meet some of
our personalities!
Please help us support our
Sanctuary Sweethearts, dogs that because of age or condition
are not available
for adoption, but really need an extra helping paw so we can continue
to care
for them. Can you sponsor a Sanctuary Sweetheart?
Spay/Neuter, Monthly, and Microchip sponsors help us defray the cost of dogs in rescue - we spend on average more than $750 per dog, with adoption fees making up only a part of that.

| DINAH
- Sanctuary Sweetheart (not available for adoption)
Dinah was out of time at a downstate pound. Over the year she has been with us, her physical condition has deteriorated.

We of course will continue to do everything we can to keep this sweet, 9 or 10 year old girl doing her best.
Dinah's sponsors: 1.
Lori and Denis, in honor of Shiloh and in memory of Bixby &
Lexie 2. An
anonymous friend of the malamutes!
Dinah is in sanctuary at Nancy's - and many thanks to her sponsors for making sure this girl is taken care of! |

The homeless malamutes thank you for your help. 100% of donations go directly toward the care of the homeless malamutes!
Would you like to provide food or treats for the homeless malamutes? Please send an email to Holly at info@wholepet.com for information on the food and treat needs of our furries! Or make a donation using the PayPal button at the top of this page.
A note to our generous sponsors. We thank you, and if we have missed listing your sponsorship, please notify us and we will amend our error....remember, to err is human, to forgive, canine! Again, our heartfelt thanks for helping these wonderful dogs. We could not do it without you!
As of June 1st 2006 the adoption costs will be as follows:
$200 for adult dogs, $250 for puppies under 12 months, and $100 for seniors 8 and over. We will also require an additional $100 contract deposit, that will be refunded upon completion of contractual obligations associated with adoption. Payment for adoption and deposit can be made by cash, certified check, cashiers check or money order. Regrettably, we can no longer accept personal checks for adoptions.
Dogs at area shelters:
BEWARE!! There are many 'rescues' that are nothing more than glorified puppy brokers! Be sure that ANY animal you adopt is fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchip, and all necessary shots and tests. Reputable rescues include all this, and more! You don't want to fall victim to 'puppies for profit' from a non-legitimate rescue!
