Breed: Alaskan malamute
Age: 9 months
Sex: Neutered male
Timber’s story: This purebred malamute boy’s days were numbered at a high-kill shelter, despite his young age. For a dog built to pull sleds, Timber is pretty mellow. He does require a good deal of exercise and entertainment, being he’s just a pup. He’s house-trained, loves to go on walks, and knows some basic cues. He would benefit from an obedience class to polish his skills. He doesn’t walk; he prances. He loves making friends and is friendly with everyone except cats, who he likes to chase. He can probably learn that isn’t polite behavior. Timber is fully vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.
