Read below to learn why adopting from us is better than buying from a pet store or back yard breeder.
1. Our dogs are all neutered or spayed, which means you won't have to pay that cost (typically $100 - $200), or deal with the many health and behavioral issues that can arise with intact dogs.
2. We tell you everything we know about our dogs, the good and the bad. We don't adopt out dogs that are aggressive to people.
3. Our dogs have received all their shots, are heartworm negative, and are in good health. If a dog has health issues, we tell you what they are. If the dog had health issues, we'll tell you about that, too.
4. We know our dogs: their personalities, their likes and dislikes, and their character. Our knowledge of our dogs makes it easy for us to make a good match for you, and give you a dog that will fit your lifestyle.
5. A back yard breeder or a pet store is much more interested in getting your money than they are making sure your new dog is a good fit for you and your family. If the person you buy your Malamute from doesn't ask you many questions about yourself, ask for your vet's phone number to see if you're a responsible pet owner, visit your house, or have you sign a contract stipulating you'll return the dog to them if necessary, THEN YOU ARE NOT BUYING A DOG FROM A REPUTABLE BREEDER!
6. Pet store dogs come from puppy mills, where the mother dogs are bred over and over until they finally die. As you can imagine, their pups are not very healthy and are not socialized.
7. We are always available for questions, training suggestions, and follow-up of any sort. A back yard breeder or a pet store employee are not going to help you at all with your new dog.
8. Although this is seldom necessary, we take our dogs back. In fact, the adoption contract you sign requires you to return the dog to us if you can no longer keep him or her.
9. If you're looking for a rescued dog, you probably already know the value of saving a life and understand the joy you'll find in watching your adopted dog blossom under your care. You also probably know that millions of dogs are killed every year by state and county animal shelters throughout the U.S. due to lack of space in the shelters. These dogs are killed by injections, by being shot, or by being shoved into a gas chamber with dozens of other dogs.
Choose to adopt -- choose to save a life!
