     I came across Rescue Me when looking to rehome my Malamute. I was overwhelmed at the responses I received and thrilled to find a loving, forever home for my Malamute. This site is amazing and I highly recommend it.

     It was with a heavy heart that we posted our growing puppy on Rescue Me for adoption because work schedules had changed and there was no longer enough available time to devote to him. Within three days, I had five inquiries, and the three that I talked to all seemed like good homes. We were very pleased with the home that our puppy went to, and hope they develop as much love for him as we had. I think that will happen from their first encounter!

     Thank you so much Rescue Me for allowing us the availability of posting our puppy here. It enabled a super incredible family to reach out to us and adopt our dog. He is now living a fuller life than we were able to offer with a second baby on the way. He is currently being so deeply loved, I couldn't be happier. Also on the process we made great friends. Thank you.

     I could no longer care for my beautiful girl, Aspen. After trying several sites that were recommended to me to find her a great home, I was still left without any suitable adopting families. I tried Rescue Me and within a week I was flooded with emails from many great families looking to adopt her. What a wonderful resource for people like me who love their dogs, but are unable to provide the care they need and just want their dogs to be in a happy place. Rescue Me was truly a miracle.

     Stella is now a US Army fitness coach! She was adopted by an Army Airborne troop and his wife. Jeff, Stella's new Dad, said he wanted a companion to keep him motivated to stay in top physical condition! That's a good thing, Stella loves to run on leash or off. She's in a home now with no children or other pets. So, now she has her own place without competition from other dogs. We rescued Stella at four months old from her owner, an 86 year old woman, who realized she bit off more than she could chew! We raised her, trained her, and fell in love with her. It was hard to let her go, but she was not going to share us with our other dogs. Now she has an ideal home and a great life ahead! Thanks so much, Rescue Me!

     Thank you Rescue Me for your helping hand during a very trying time in our life. Apollo has found a beautiful forever home in a matter of days... Less than a week. Thank you so much. We truly miss him already, but know during our great down time the best decision was made on his behalf. There are not enough words to express our gratitude. Rescue Me was a great help in this process.

     Titan has been an amazing addition to our family. From the moment we met him, there was a connection with the warm, loving personality. He has bonded well with our family and other dogs. Our Siberian now has a willing, energetic playmate and a companion for long hikes. We are so thankful to Rescue Me. We are grateful for the opportunity to bring this wonderful guy into our family.

     I have had my Malamute since a pup, and we were beginning to show her and even had plans to get another when my wife got cancer and together went through five years of treatment before her passing over three years ago. It was rough on a dog that requires exercise and play time. I retired, and time away made it rougher for her at home. I recently remarried and moved to 18 acres with no fence, just open woods and animals, livestock etc. I sensed her sadness of not being able to run freely, like at the other house. I knew I had to find a good home for her. No local shelters of any kind would consider taking her in for adoption possibilities. I googled and found Rescue Me, which hooked me up with a guy in another nearby state with four malamutes. He had one die (age) and wanted a replacement for the pack. We linked up and she has been with him for about five days with good reports that she is blending in as expected. Now she has the attention she deserves that I could no longer provide. That's what it is all about her happiness, though I miss her.

     Shamas found a new home with a very nice family with lots of love and yard for him. I am so happy he was chosen by this family and that he was able to find his new home on Rescue Me. This is a great place to go if your pet needs a new home.

     We posted Kodi on this website for adoption with good reasons: We are 69 and 71 years old and can't guarantee success in exercising (walks) for 270 pounds of Malamute dogs (a pair). Kodi needed more attention. She is brilliant for one on one service to a deaf lady with an autistic son (Navy Vet). Now: Kodi and her new owners are very happy teaching each other how to live. The owners responded to us via my adoption post on Rescue Me. And thanks a lot for your service.

     I want to thank you very much for helping us finding a wonderful family for Xerxes. The family lost their malamute and didn't want a dog right away. When they met Xerxes, they changed their mind. He has been so well accepted and loved. I visited him and, though it was a very emotional moment for both him and me, it felt good to see how caring the children and the parents are. Thank you again, Rescue Me, for your incredible help.

     I was very happy to stumble upon Rescue Me to post my dog as up for adoption. It was simple to use, had no charge, and I have not, since, been bombarded with unwanted emails. Most importantly, I was able to find her a Forever Home in a matter of weeks and was quite comfortable with the home I chose for her. I sincerely appreciate the humans 'out there' who do sites like this in the best interest of animals. I would MUCH rather donate freely to organizations like this, than pre-pay to have my information put on a site in which I don't know if I can trust, or what their intentions really are. Lily is now perfectly matched with a family that will take care of her needs and where she can be herself. Thank you!!

     Coyo was adopted by a nice family in Florida. He looks to be living the life he needed to...and in the city. So thankful he has a new family to call his own and that he is safe. It was an 'open' adoption, so we'll still be able to keep in touch. :)

     I am very thankful for the Rescue Me website. I adopted Hades into my family when he was a five week old ball of fluff, and the moment I set eyes on him I knew he had a special piece of my heart. That was almost nine years ago. Due to unfortunate circumstances, however, I was forced to find a new home for my beloved friend. Within 24 hours of posting my ad, a gentleman had contacted me, and we set up a meeting. I feel as if by some divine intervention, this gentleman was brought to us to provide a safe and loving home for my sweet boy. I am very grateful for this gentleman, and l hope he and his family enjoy every moment with this boy. God bless them for helping us in our time of need.

     Pete found a great new home with a nice couple. They came on a Saturday and spent a couple hours. They were on a meet and greet with their dog and themselves. They came back an hour later for a second meeting... and they returned on Sunday for a final meet and greet before making a decision. The couple had a solid understanding of what to expect, and demonstrated their knowledge. We felt very comfortable in our decision. We would really like to thank Rescue Me! for permitting us to use this website. We have been in contact since, and things are going well for everyone. Thanks again for helping us find Pete a safe and healthy new home! Chris

     Tank and Dixie Girl have found their forever homes. Tank is at a huge horse training facility in South Georgia and is allowed to go on trail rides. He is loving life and has grandkids around to play with him. Dixie Girl is on over 20 acres with a family who lost their dog of 15 years. The lady said it was time to get another. So Dixie has seven cats to play with and two have already taken up with her. Her job is to keep the deer out of the garden area. Her new owner said she is so smart. They are 1/2 Alaskan Malamute and 1/2 Great Pyrenees. Thanks, Rescue Me!, for allowing me to post and finding great homes for Tank and Dixie Girl.

     Thank you so much for your website. We found a loving couple in Portland, Oregon that were grieving the loss of their beloved Mal due to old age. Nakita is a perfect fit for them, they fell in love with her on first site and she is a true blessing to them. They were working with local shelters in their area with not to much luck. Rescue Me! gave them the resources to look outside of their area to find this new member of their family. Robert

     Greetings Rescue Me and all who inquired and/or supported Houdini in her quest for a forever home! I'm so happy to report that we were contacted by a couple living in San Francisco who were looking to adopt a new baby. They had lost their Husky of 16.5 years (old age took him) and felt it was time to move on and open their hearts and home again. What a gift to have this situation come to such a happy end! This site is a great resource for anyone looking for help with a stray or ready to expand their lives and bring in a little lost soul from the wide world. Being new to northern California, I was overwhelmed at the support I received and will recommend this resource to anyone in need of your services. If it's not time for you to adopt, please consider a donation to help keep this going. Thanks again to all who helped Houdini! Kind regards, Robin

     Molly was adopted by a local individual. I chose to use this person as Molly will still be within driving distance of me and I will be able to see her from time to time. I never really wanted to get rid of her but had no choice, and since she is near me I can still see her when I miss her which I am sure will be quite often.

     Hey Jeff, The first person to msg me which was within an hour of me posting him, took Maxx. Maxx looks great...he got a bath and groomed and they took him to obedience and socialization classes. Both of which I couldn't do for him given my financial situation. He has a huge yard and his own backpack and he goes for walks every day. I couldn't ask for better for him. He is going to have a life I couldn't provide and he deserves it. Once I finally get work, I would like to contribute as there was no other agency willing to help him. Thank you so much.

     Jeff, I am strictly a Mal person, after owning many breeds over the years. One Mal will hook you for life. I began looking for another Mal a couple of months ago, when I realized that my older female (Mae Be Wooly) was failing, and wouldn't be with us too much longer. I found this big boy in PA, and thought he would be a good buddy for my big 3 yr old boy, since they were both neutered. They have hit it off well, since I picked him up over a week ago. A great addition to the family. Igloo was mourning Mae's loss, and needed a running buddy. He got a good one. I look at your RescueMe site on a weekly basis, and wish that I could afford a 'malamute farm.' They are the absolute best people dogs. I donated to the kennel that had this big boy, and I donate to AMRNC. I will include your site at years end. Thanks for a great source to find the animal that I was looking for. Igloo was also a rescue as a puppy. Enclosed are a couple of pictures of the boys. Iggy is the big black and white one, the best animal that I have ever owned. Tom Maxwell

     Both my Mals' were adopted into a great home. I had a home for them but it wasn't working out and I was desperate. I was to leave for a teaching job in China. I got a response on Rescue Me within a couple of days relieving me of a lot of stress. They have a large area to roam in and free run of the house, which they did not have with me, so they are loving it. Thanks to Rescue Me. It wasn't just my animals they rescued they rescued me also.

     Jeff -- I am a total Malamute fan and was looking for one for my current malamute. I subscribed to the rescue site 4 days prior to getting the alert for Tolkien and Una. Originally I told the owner I would take Una, but because I currently have a male malamute, I wouldn't be able to take Tolkien. However, after thinking it over, I told him to bring both out and we would see how things went. He brought them out introduced them to my Nikita (Male malamute). They seemed to get along well so he left both. I told him I would let him know if there was an issue. About 2 weeks later, I sent him a follow-up email and in the title added -- Don't panic . . All is well. He was glad to know and said he really wanted to email me and find out, but was afraid to. Both are really wonderful dogs. They have 2 totally separate personalities. Tolkien is very large (about 120 lbs.) and kind of clumsy. Una is normal size (about 70 lbs.) and very intelligent. They had been left to their own devices for quite some time so I spent a lot of time teaching them the basic commands, come (when you are called); sit; stay, etc.) They were also not housebroke, so had to work on that. I believe we've just about mastered that one. The biggest obstacle we've had to overcome (and are still working on it), is in their mind, cats are snacks. Luckily, it didn't take my cats long to realize, these two dogs weren't cat friendly like the dogs they are used to. I have 2 young grandchildren who frequently spend the weekend with us and the dogs and them are really attached to each other already. My grandson insists on walking Una every time he comes over, which she doesn't mind because he has much more energy than I do and she gets to run a lot. Neither were fixed, so I have an appt next Tuesday to get Una Spayed and Tolkien neutered. As much as I love these dogs, I don't want to have several puppies around as I could never get rid of them. We've had so much fun with these dogs that my daughter helped me put together a facebook page just for them. (MalamutesCoke) It is a public site so anyone can view, however, we do have a few family and close friends that have set up friend requests on the site. In fact, I just received the latest alert and added the site information to the Malamute facebook page in case any of our family and friends would be interested in a malamute after being around ours. I've attached a picture of the two dogs from the site along with my dog. My dog is the one laying down on the left side. Una is the dog in the middle and Tolkien is the large dog on the right. If you would like to see more pictures feel free to go to their facebook page. Lois

     Evelyn was posted on rescue me for just one day when I was first contacted by a family who was interested in adopting her. During the next two weeks, four different families contacted us. We were able to connect with all of them, and find a home that was a perfect match for Evelyn. The family that adopted Evelyn had recently lost their own malamute. She is headed to a home that is full of love and being given an opportunity to regain her own happiness after the death of her owner. Thanks for your assistance in helping us place Evelyn.
