Kosi, as we call him for short (full name is Nokosi) is a beautiful five year old boy who needs that special someone (s) to take him in and give him LOTS of time to decompress and work with him to trust them. Once he does, he will be your best friend and one of the most loving, goofiest dogs that will always keep a smile on your face. He’s estimated to be about five years old.
Kosi does know the basic obedience commands like: sit, stay, down, shake, wait, leave it and come. He will need a home with no children or other animals as he has some jealousy issues not wanting to share his people with other animals. Kosi was placed in several other homes via shelters and we suspect it’s due to the owners never having a malamute before or not confident to be the alpha of the “pack” and Kosi probably took advantage of it. He learned fast that his foster mom would put up with no shenanigans and he was no longer the boss. Trust is something we are working on with him. He’s been bounced so many times he isn’t sure who to trust, but once he meets you and gets to know you he is your BFF forever.
He will grumble if he’s uncomfortable with a situation but he only did it for one day with his foster mom. She always makes everything a game for Kosi and keeps things exciting and positive for him. This is what she says about him:
I can’t begin to tell you how awesome a dog he is. He will be your constant shadow. He loves to sit outside with me in the mornings and during the days in the summer as well. He loves walks and adores car rides!!! He loves, more than anything in the world, to be touched by his humans. He will come and hit you with his paw until you touch him and pet him and he is a leaner as you shower him with attention. Kosi is an attention hound and once he falls in love with someone outside of the home, he will remember that person and will shower them with love and kisses when he sees them again.
He needs an EXPERIENCED malamute savvy person that understands what makes this breed tick. Someone who can take this boy and expose him to new and exciting things in life but also keep up on the training we have started here with various things. We would like to see him go to a home with a fenced in yard. NO ELECTRIC FENCES PLEASE! This will keep him and other animals safe.
If interested in meeting him please go to www.fewstepsfromhome.com to fill out a meet and greet application or email dogrescue0146@gmail.com if you have further questions after reading his profile. We can also be reached by phone at 1-989-326-2239
