Koda is one lucky boy. He found a home even before we put him up as available! We did post some pictures on the Golden Years Facebook page and a quick story about Koda. The same day a gentleman found our group and posted he just just lost his 13 year old girl and was looking for a new travel buddy that was laid back and friendly. He saw the post about Koda and inquired as to how to apply for him. The application was approved and once Koda had healed from his neuter surgery his new dad picked him up in his motor home and Koda was on his new adventure and new home base of Arizona 12/1/22
Our sweet Aurora was with us for two years and we thought she'd never find a new home. Little did we know there was something happening in Denver that would include her. A family in Denver CO was getting ready to move to Grand Rapids MI so they checked Malamute sites to see if any were available. They noticed that Aurora was staying up as available for quite a long time. Summer 2022 the family relocated and while settling in they checked again and sure enough there was Aurora. They submitted an application and drove up to Gladwin to meet her. Love at first sight all the way around. Aurora officially moved to Grand Rapids MI on 10-29-22. She's like a whole new dog! Calm, playful, is now the neighborhood dog and she gets to go places. Drastic change from our crazy girl to a calm and happy dog. Aurora lived at a puppy mill from birth to age four so this adoption was very special to us.
Kosi was with us for quite a long time and we never quite understood why because he was an awesome boy. Well it turns out he was just waiting for his new dad to find our website! Kosi moved to Spring Lake MI 10-29-22 and settled right in to his new home
Once in awhile we get in a Malamute that just a gem. Ponyo was only with us for a short time thanks to his temperament. He's good with almost everyone and everything. Ponyo moved to his new home in MI on 9-24-22 and has made many new doggie and people friends.
Sweet Ora had just moved to her foster home when a young man called about adopting a female good with other dogs. Ora came to mind. A Meet-n-Greet was set up and it was love at first sight. Miss Ora moved to Howell MI on 9-13-22
This handsome boy didn't take long to place. Charger moved to Saranac MI on 8-17-22 and we couldn't be happier for him.
It took two years, but Hugo's new dad finally found him! The dog we affectionately referred to "Mr Crabby Eyebrows" is now getting the full attention and spoiling he so deserves. He moved to his new home in Empire MI on July 30th
At last, Birch has a new home in Holland Mi and he now has a Siberian husky for a "sister" and is enjoying the good life he so richly deserves. He's also decided to appoint himself as the official "neighborhood watch" dog. April 4th was adoption day
Mia came to us a couple of months ago and we thought for sure she would place right away as she was good with others dogs, kids and people in general but we didn't get any inquiries. Well there was a reason. Her people hadn't found her yet but when they did it was love at first sight all around. She moved to her new home in MI on 3/15/22
Tundra found a wonderful new home that has lots of malamute experience and he's fitting in beautifully. Tundra moved to Coloma MI on 3/2/22
Well Lobo had quite the adventure. He came to us all the way from Texas, was fostered in West Michigan and then moved to Sevens Point WI with another of our rescue dogs, Rocky. Both boys are getting along fabulously and we are so thrilled they are in a fantastic new home! They moved to WI on 3/12/22
We knew Pax would probably find a home quick with his personality and gorgeous face. We had him about two weeks when we
were contacted by a family from IN. They had just lost their mal and were doing a search for a new family member. Timing couldn't
have been more perfect. We are happy to share that Pax joined his new family on 6-13-2021.
Shadow is a beautiful Malamute/Siberian mix who was surrendered to animal control and when we first met him we couldn't understand why. He's good with other dogs, loves people, loves going for rides and just plain having fun. He's only a year old with tons of puppy energy so we suspect the original owners had no idea how to handle a northern breed. Shadow found his perfect family and moved to his new home in south east MI on 7-10-2021.
Our handsome boy Bandit found his perfect forever home. He's a typical young boy who likes to test to see what he can get
away with. His new family has tons of experience with the breed. Bandit moved to his new home in Birmingham MI on
7-18-21 and he's doing fantastic.
Esko was found tied up in an abandoned home and we took him in. He was being fostered at our kennel in Gladwin MI and because it was going to take a few months to get him in to local vet to be neutered, he was transported to our foster home in Grand Rapids MI 2 1/2 hours drive away, so he could have the surgery sooner. At the same time someone in Grand Rapids saw him on our site and applied. Who knew Esko was meant to see the Grand Rapids vet and then just get to a new home! He even has a Sibe sister named Sierra to play with. Lots of smiles all around. Esko moved in on 10-3-21
Thor (was Tikkani) Found a new forever home really quickly. Who could resist that face! He moved to Indiana on 10-8-21 and by that "woo
woo" on his face he's pretty darned happy! He even went out trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Lola only spent a few days with us before she found the perfect forever home. The family had just said their final goodbye to their beloved boy Kiba (Kiba was part of a litter born at Golden Years in 2007. Within days of their loss they saw our post about Lola. Well we all know that Kiba picked out his successor, Lola!) She moved to her new forever home in Michigan on 10-26-21
Eisa was with us for a bit as she had to get spayed and all current with shots. She came in with Renji (same owner). Once she got settled in with her foster pack her personality shined through. Eisa found her new forever home on 11/6/21
It took a little time but River was just waiting for this couple to come and meet her. River showed them what a sweetie she is and Hooray! River got a fabulous new home just in time for Christmas! River moved to Bay City MI on 12/18/21
It took a little while but this very handsome boy named Renji found his fabulous new forever home. He will now be the only dog and we are quite sure he will be spoiled rotten. Renji moved to Grand Rapids MI on 1/26/2022
