Meet Sierra
Sierra is a gorgeous 10 year old female looking for a new forever home. Her owner remarried (he had Sierra from puppyhood) and the new spouse has a small dog and the new human and small dog don’t like Sierra. After being stuck in a crate for 12+ hours a day for a year, a family member finally convinced Sierra’s owner to let them take Sierra and find her the home she so richly deserves.
Sierra is a big girl at about 80 lbs and she is easy going with everyone she meets. She’s good with children and loves to play with her squeaky toys (like any self respecting malamute she loves to de-stuff them). At her age she has a bit of arthritis so she doesn’t do zoomies anymore, avoids the stairs and doesn’t jump on people. She is taking meds for her thyroid (meds are inexpensive and this is not an unusual health issue in Mals). She recently had her annual vet visit and is all current on shots and is in excellent health
As you can see in one of her pictures she actually likes grooming! Her new home will need to make Sierra an active part of the family, being allowed to play, go for walks, go for car rides, see new places, and give her lots of attention. She’d do great in a home with retired owner(s) , one with kids age 7+, or perhaps someone who works from home. She doesn’t do well with other dogs so she needs to be an only dog. She is living with a cat so with proper introductions, she could go to a home with a cat. Like most malamutes she does have a prey drive and gets very interested if she sees a bunny, squirrel, possum, etc. as a potential snack.
PLEASE NOTE: Sierra is being fostered in Ft Wayne IN and her adoption will be strictly handled by the foster home. They would like to meet any potential adopter in person and to have them meet Sierra to see if she will be a good fit.
