A little about IRIS

Meet Iris — A Stunning, Spirited Alaskan Malamute Ready for a New Furever Home

Iris is a beautiful 4‑year‑old Alaskan Malamute with a friendly nature and a whole lot of personality. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people and thrives when she’s included, engaged, and given plenty of activity.

One of Iris’s sweetest quirks is how much she loves her crate.

Taking the next step

General adoption information from Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League. Confirm current fees and requirements for IRIS with them.

Applications are accepted online, then a home visit is scheduled unless the potential adopter does not qualify. After the home visit evaluation form is filled in online, we generally approve and the Adoption Team begins trying to match the humans with a "best fit" mal. We send dog bios to the adopter, who agrees to meet or passes on a particular dog. The adoption fee is $300 ($200 for seniors) which we collect at the time of adoption and hold for two weeks (sometimes longer) until the adoption is finalized.
