Dinah was out of time at a downstate pound. Over the year she has been with us, her physical condition has deteriorated. First it was a tumor removal, then recurrent bladder issues - and now poor Dinah has rather severe arthritis in her hips and spine. We of course will continue to do everything we can to keep this sweet, 9 or 10 year old girl doing her best.   

Dinah is in sanctuary at Nancy's - and many thanks to her sponsors for making sure this girl is taken care of!

Lucy  July 2011

This beautiful and impressive Collie/Alaskan Malamute mix looks like a smooth tri-colored Collie in the face with the markings and physique of the Malamute. This is no dainty girl and her pictures don’t do her justice! She is gorgeous!

Lucy loves to work and is eager to please her humans! She is constantly watching and waiting for her next command. Lucy has learned to understand life with humans through positive reinforcement and clicker training, and she is a quick learner! Lucy knows sit, down, watch me, settle, leave it, heel and no pull (for loose leash walking). Lucy would love to find a forever home where her humans will lead her with commands - it really helps her feel secure and relax.

Lucy will make an experienced dog owner very happy as she continues to grow into the great dog we know she will be. Lucy would be most comfortable in a home as the only dog, with no cats or small children. As the "only child," Lucy would thrive and would be the companion you always dreamed of!

The adoption contribution for Lucy is $250.00. Please contact Charlene Molnar at chareliz@sbcglobal.net for more information about Lucy or any of our other adoptable dogs

For information on how to list your dog for re-homing on our site, please visit our "Need to give up your Malamute" section. We are also happy to list other northern breeds.
