IAMRA does not adopt to anyone under the age of 21.  Although we rarely adopt to persons under 25, these applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  We do not adopt to homes who have electronic fences as the only form of containment. Since malamutes do best with opposite gender when it comes to other dogs, the vast majority of our adoptions will be opposite gender.
IAMRA responds to all inquiries about our dogs, giving up your dog, or information in general via e-mail. Please make sure to check you spam folder if you haven't heard from us within 2 - 3 days.

Kicking Bird (KB) - November 2025

Picture
Poor KB was picked up stray, with a horribly embedded collar. Lucky for him, he was taken to the Animal Hospital of Gurnee where they were able to save his life! KB needed four surgeries to close his wound, and still has a long road ahead of him.  He is a very sweet, loving boy, but does have separation anxiety, we believe he was horribly neglected. He is making great strides in his foster home (Thank you Kim C!).


Donations for his care are greatly appreciated, and we also have a wishlist on Chewy.com:
