Sweet, smart. and eager to please, Nola, about 6 years old,spayed, up to date with routine shots, is in need of a home. Her journey has been very long . One made possible by the kindness of strangers, after hurricane Katrina, when she was befriended by a passerby. Nola was taken to Husky Haven in Huston by another stranger, where she was immunized, wormed and heartworm tested. From there she made it to Austin. Here Nola was found to be pregnant. Because the immunizations may have hurt the unborn puppies, Nola was spayed, and the litter was lost. And the adventure continued. A GAO board member paid Nola's fare and accompanied her to Baltimore and an AMAL volunteer took her to her new foster home. After a period of time Nola was adopted by a family in New Castle, DE. Then disaster struck again! This time it was the economy. Foreclosure on her home. Nola's family was moving in with relatives. Other dogs were already there, and Nola needs to be an only pet. So since November, she has been in board with very nice accomadations. However the accomodations are nothing like the ones she enjoyed in her Delaware home, where she had bed and couch privileges. It's safe to say that Nola was a very much appreciated malamute, while she was in her ALMOST forever home. Consideration for adoption will be given to those where Nola will again be a house malamute. live in New Castle County Delaware, with 6 foot fencing. Please contact Catherine White, Alaskan Malamute Rescue Delaware, ccarocoho@aol.com for an adoption application.

This is a pure bred Alaskan Malamute, so beautiful, strong and sturdy. So far her life has been a string of abandonment. Let's you and I change that! Please contact:
