January 2009: Bear has been in his foster home for 5 months now and is running out of time. If you can provide Bear with a foster home during the adoption process, please contact Diana at: galenuit@telus.net or call 604 864 9365
Bear is a 6 year old, 130 pound, neutered, beautiful Alaskan Malamute who is looking for his forever home!
Bear is currently in foster care with one of the AMHL's most experienced members. Below is Bear's January 2009 update:
Personality: "Friendly, loyal and bonds easily." Bear is also "Talkative"!
"He can be hard headed so requires an owner who is the alpha" -- meaning, a
dog-experienced leader who can apply rules and boundaries consistently.
Training: Bear is house trained and his foster parent reports that he
prefers to be in the house with people! Bear is also crate trained, but
will experience anxiety if crated alone for too long and try to escape.
Bear's foster dad reports that someone taught Bear that the "bed" was OK for him to jump up and sleep on -- he has now been broken of that bad habit!
Likes: Being in the house with people. Long walks. Loves human
companionship!
Dislikes: "Being left alone in a yard - he will howl. Having his feet touched."
Other Animals: Bear has been on walks with multiple other dogs and plays very well. However, we recognize that this behaviour is more about being an experienced dog handler and strong leader. The AMHL will only consider Bear for a home as a single dog or with one companion. "Not cat friendly - not aggressive, but too interested", so Bear will not be considered for a home with cats or other small furry animals.
Forever Home: Bear is looking for a family without small children or
cats, where someone might be home all day or not away for long. A home as a single dog or with one companion would be ideal. He's a
long coated Malamute, so beauty has its price as he requires regular grooming to avoid mats. He also requires exercise and has
been having walks of over a mile each day. Bear is
a terrific Malamute.
