Mal Mixes
This page is updated and current as of 12/9/2011.
On occasion, POLARIS may promote Alaskan Malamute Mixed Breed dogs for
adoption. This is not our standard practice, but we will try to do it
as long as we can find the resources to support the efforts. If you
would like to contribute to help in this activity, please visit our
donations page. Thanks for helping to support these dogs receive a second chance on life....

Binxy is a 6 yr. old female possible Sib/Malamute/chow mix. She is only 45 lbs. and has some
malamute markings, but a black tongue and shorter snout. She is playful (she's not delicate)
and active and enjoys escaping from outdoor fenced areas if left alone. She would do well
with a non dominant male doggy companion and is very affectionate. She had a husky playmate
earlier and misses the activity. She does better with older children (over 8 yrs.) and loves
adults. If you want a dog to exercise regularly and you enjoy licks, Binxy is your girl...!
Ezrea is a lively 4 yr old mixed 70 lbs. female mal mix originally from Alaska. She is a super
nice dog who has many mal markings, but has a lab-like (sleek & smooth) coat, narrow body and club
tail. She loves to play outdoors and is very energetic - she needs a secure fenced area with adequate
height (6 ft.) to ensure her containment. She has been raised alone, but submits to the neighbor's
male dog and plays well with him. Would not re-home with a female dog. She does play roughly, so
she probably would do better in a home with older (over 8 yrs.) kids. Due to her size and excitability,
she knocks over toddlers, but is not aggressive. She needs lots of regular exercise and would do well
with basic command training. -If you have the time to work with this rowdy girl and love her, won't
you want to add her to your family?
Annie is a younger stray who came to us from a man who saw the original owners dumping her at the end
of a rural road.... She is cautious and fearful at first, then will warm up to you after a few minutes.
She has some Northern breed (mal+) in her, but her graceful body is almost greyhound-like in shape, without
the mal plumed tail or pointed ears. She is thin and would benefit from adding some weight - she's about
50 lbs. She is crate-trained and does well alone - enjoys a confined area where she feels safe. She can
be vocal and is content as a house dog, but loves going on walks and meeting new people. Her foster home
is working with her on socialization skills (with people and other dogs) but may be best as the only dog in a
home. She knows her basic commands (sit, shake, stay, lay down) and listens a majority of the time. She
is playful and loving and is looking to share that love.
Diego is a big, neutered male malamute mix (perhaps a little German Shepard?). He is 2 years old
and weighs about 100 lbs., is mainly black with two cute tan spots over his eyes, but has a solid body.
Diego would benefit from losing 5-10 lbs. He is alert and vocal - will bark when a new person arrives
at the property and is quite talkative with his family. He is protective of his 5 year old child
companion - he has not biten, but stands between an adult and the child. He is a sweet and loving dog,
but will need a strong leader to work with him on basic commands and his resource guarding issues.
He is dog social (lives with 2-3 medium size dogs now and also is ok when he visits the owner's neighbors'
dogs) and needs an appropriate fenced area for reliable containment. Diego would do better with a companion
dog, but will need to be the more dominant of the two. Feedings should also be separate.
Buddy is a mixed Northern breed (maybe combined with Heeler?) young male with a smooth coat. He is small (40 lbs.)
compared to a typical malamute, but is dog social and requires a lot of exercise! He is 9-10 mos. and mostly black.
He enjoys young children, but may jump on them in play and knock them down. He would benefit from learning some
basic manners and having a canine playmate. He is very sweet and energetic. He is used to an older female dominant
husky as a playmate. Buddy would make a great companion dog!
