STRAY

This spitz-type guy was picked up February 19 near Turner Field in Atlanta heading for the interstate. He needs an immediate foster home. He has an unknown history and has yet to be vetted. A good Samaritan (with cats no less) has taken him in but cannot hold him for long.

He is very outgoing and appears well mannered. He appears to be yet another victim of the economy...

NIKA

Nika is a female Alaskan Malamute whelped in the fall of 2008. She weighs about 80#. Nika is spayed, up to date on her shots, and heartworm negative. Nika has been living in her foster home with cats without incident. Nika also gets along well with children of all ages.

Nika is both house and crate trained. She also knows basic obedience commands. Nika is, however, a digger and chewer. Both habits can be controlled.

BLIND WILLY

Who knows for sure what this guy is? Blind Willy was whelped in mid-
August. He is in good hands, safe, and thriving. He is definitely a
northern breed.

Blind Willy is definitely also a special needs placement. In part due
to his age; in part due to the fact that he cannot see.

Blind Willy is available for immediate placement if you are
experienced with mals and sibes and committed to providing a proper
home and care for a puppy.

RINGO

This is a young male Alaskan Malamute. Ringo was whelped in 2007 and weighs 80#. Ringo is in a sanctuary setting. He will be neutered and fully vetted prior to placement. He is heartworm negative and has had excellent care and handling. Ringo needs an experienced owner and a solid home.

Meet the Board of Directors at Howling Dog Rescue, Inc.

Potential placements through HDR, Inc. are handled by an oversight committee. Meet Huck Finn, the current Director of Operations, shown in the third photo from the top. Mr. Finn was ably trained by his predecessor, Atlanta Jad. Jad is the woolly pictured in the bottom photo. They almost always seek input from their senior advisor, Red Emma. She's pictured in the woods with emeritus board member Sash. It's the photo at the top. If a decision isn't clear, they'll bring in the youngest, most devilish member of the crew, Nilak. She's in the fourth picture from the top. As a last resort they draw on the wisdom and experience of emeritus board members Seavey and Nomarak's Meesha. But those two are usually too busy hunting in the creek pictured in second photo from the bottom. On the really tough calls they'll even consult with three old timers, Kobuk shown sitting in the second photo from the top along with Mook and Doctor, who is in the fourth photo down. All committee members are staunch advocates of and adherents to the Malamute Resistance Movement.

Scrimmer

This is a beautiful female malamute, silver-grey in color. The photos do not do Scrimmer justice. I doubt she was whelped any later than the spring of 2007.

Scrimmer is opened faced and weighs 80#. She is spay, negative for heartworm, and up to date on shots. Scrimmer is house and crate trained. She has an unknown history and was found stray in Cherokee County.

Scrimmer is currently fostered with a house full of mals and sibes. While Scrimmer does well with most, she is not a soft dog, and isn't going to get this year's Ms. Congeniality award.

Scrimmer is not a problem dog and will be easy to train. Like most, she would benefit from a nothing-in-life-is-free protocol.

MISSING MAL

This girl was taken during a home invasion in Rex, Georgia, last September. She hasn't been seen since.

Baby Bear is a wolf grey Alaskan malamute, intact, weighing about 75#. Baby Bear was whelped June, 1996, but looks considerably younger.

If you see or learn anything about Baby Bear please contact us immediately. A reward is offered for information leading to her location. No questions asked.

Yukon

After ten years this girl's owner decided he no longer had any use for her. Yukon desperately needs, and deserves, a real home. She weighs in at 90# and is a true woolie. Yukon has quite an attitude toward other dogs and animals. As a result she should be in a home where she is the only pet. Yukon thrives on one-to-one contact with people and would adjust well to a nothing-in-life-is-free regime. In her early life she was actually a house dog and cared for her owner's two young daughters.

Buster

This is an Alaskan Malamute male (neutered) whelped in 2004. Buster is seal and white and weighs a tad under 140#. He has been to McDonald's a few too many times and by this winter Buster will be weighing in at around 120#.

Buster is an owner surrender. He has an easy disposition and knows basic obedience. Buster is not dog or people aggressive, but like so many northerns, he does need to be reigned in around other dogs from time to time, especially other males. Buster is heartworm negative and once he gets that weight off Buster will be in good medical shape.

Amak

This is a 5 year-old male Sibe/Mal cross. Amak weighs about 60#, has brown eyes, and wears a faint mask. He is neutered and heartworm negative.

Amak loves to run and play, and gets along well with the dogs he is with. Like most northerns, however, when pushed, Amak pushes back.
