Cody
Cody came to POLARIS from an owner who was in an apartment and could not provide an active, attentive
environment for Cody. His adopter has been very tuned into having Cody develop a secure feeling at home.
Cody is a great representative of the breed and in the Denver neighborhood where he lives, all the people
know and love him. Cody's favorite things to do are outdoor activities - especially visiting friends at
9100 ft.! His owner and he drive over the pass to the mountains and Cody starts howling in anticipation
of the snowshoeing that lies ahead...it's amazing that his owner still can hear! He's one happy dog.....

Kosi
Kosi is doing well. Loves FOOD!(mine) working on table and counter ethics. Trying to wear each other out
on walks. She loves to ride but I think she wants to drive! Here is a shot of her with her owner while on
an outing during this year's first snowfall...

Kaiya
Kaiya has settled in quite well and I think she is really enjoying being a part of our family. It took
a little time for her and Yukon (our older male) to adjust to each other, but they seem to be good buddies
now. The only downside for Yukon is he can't always keep up with her since she's younger. -Kind of reminds
me of us with our kids!

Mallie
After my second Malamute passed away three years ago I finally started searching for another last
year - I love the breed, having such intellegence and hardiness - and this time decided to go the
route of a rescue. Within weeks I found Mallie on Polaris' web-site, and right away I knew she
could be perfect for me. Since I adopted her she has settled down to be a very loving and energetic
companion. We have in the past year travelled many trails, and she shares my love of winter as it's
in both of our DNA. I couldn't ask for a better canine companion.

Kodiak
Kodiak is a 6-1/2 yr. old 100 lbs. male who loves going on walks and chomping on dog bones.
His owners adore him....

Sitka
Sitka is an amazing animal and that we're very grateful that she's been a part of our family. I couldn't ask for
a more perfect dog (other than not being able to let her off lead to go play with the other dogs in the neighborhood;
we group them all in my neighbors 400+ sq foot fenced in arena to play it off once in a while). But yeah, Sitka has
been absolutely fantastic with Kale, who was two in April.

Kenai
Kenai is loving the beautiful CO high elevation landscape and shares the passion of hiking with her adopter....
|
| |
| |
Kodiak
Kodiak enjoys the cool temperatures in the central CO mountains as he is shown with his buddy, Juneau, and his adopter.
He has come a long ways in getting along with other dogs.
Kodiak and Juneau love to "scoot" through the mountains!

Sekoya
Sekoya (gray & white) enjoys her new buddy in their new home.....

Kita
Kita adopted a wonderful family and loves exploring in the snow. She teaches her new Dad karate
lessons -hmmmmm....???! (A malamute can never be too prepared!)
|
| |
| |
Kenai
Kenai smiles as she enjoys her adopter's "new digs." (-I wonder if she lets him stay there too?) She
checks out the passing deer and rabbits in her sight from her deck/kennel position. Her adopter's shoes
are equipped with sheet metal screws to dig into the packed snow, but Kenai has knocked him on his butt
a couple times anyways (from pulling).....-it must be love!

Molly
Molly is a wonderful mountain dog and a former POLARIS rescue. She is slimming down with
all the outdoor activities she is able to do with her owner. She is living it up in the
high country: loves going on hikes, road trips in the Jeep and is building her strength.
She enjoys frolicking in the remaining mountain snow at this time of the year.
Molly is a great companion and her owner started her on shorter hikes, then worked her up
to longer ones (remember, dogs need to adjust to elevation too)! Now the two are together most of
the time (work and play) and are tightly bonding....

Sarah
Sarah joined our family on Columbus Day, 2006. The wait that day for
POLARIS to deliver our precious girl to us was, I thought at the time, a
little like what an expectant father must feel while his wife is in
labor. Our expectations were fulfilled that day...a thousandfold. In
Hebrew, the name "Sarah" means princess. But, it was clear on that first
day, our Sarah claimed no regal affectations. She was, like most
Mals, imbued with the single-minded intent to please, to love, to
view humans as the center of her life, the objects of her affections.
Sarah encompasses all the traits we've come to expect from his wonderful
breed. She is a people lover, especially small children; she relishes
walkies, runs, romps in the wilderness of Colorado; her passion for
tennis balls is indomitable. She has, like most Mals, a mind of her own;
stubborn at times, and will vocalize her desires. Her intelligence is
remarkable, with a "vocabulary" (an understanding of words) that is
amazing. She has become a singular joy in our lives. We could not have
wished for a more loving, well-mannered, bright, energetic presence in
our little family. She is a joy. She is the center of our lives.
She encompasses the goodness of the world. What more could be hoped for,
what more could be desired than the noble presence of such a
creature sharing the travails of our earthly trudge through the
uncertainties of life? Thank you, POLARIS, for providing us the
opportunity to bring Sarah into our family...

Tuko
Hello,
Tuko (center), loves his new family and has become the center of
attention. He gets lots of exercise, whether it's the cats chasing him
around the house or racing Kiana (the husky) for hugs or food. He
always makes sure the teens, Eryn and Molly, are safe in bed after a
late night, before he retires with his owners in the master bedroom. He
reminds his owners of the dog, Nana in Peter Pan!

Kodiak
Kodiak was a "city dog" and adopted well into his new home in the
mountains. His owner is a marathon runner and Kodiak is enjoying
running at high elevations. After a run, Kodiak spruces up at the K-9
Car Wash!

Seven (aka Mishka)
Hello,
Seven is a happy, healthy boy. As one of my co-workers put it 'That
dog hit the lottery with you H'. He absolutely LOVES coming to the
station with me. He does a quick run thru to get a head count and then
spends the rest of his time sleeping at my feet in my office,
supervising critical EMS operations, and maintaining accountability for
the crew. If someone manages to slip into another room without him
noticing he runs to me to let me know that something is very wrong. He
couldn't be happier, and he has brought some joy back into my life. He
is a GREAT partner. Thank you!!!!!
/Note: Seven is owned by an emergency response person who also does
guide services on rafts on the Colorado River. Seven loves his jobs.

Atka

Hello,
It has been just over a year since we adopted Atka. He fits perfectly into our family
and makes us laugh every chance he gets. Atka loves hiking, swimming, the dog park, or
just going on walks with his "sister" Kaya. Kaya and Atka get along very well and have
quickly become inseparable. Atka loves to "talk" to us all the time and follow us
everywhere we go. He is such an intelligent, gentle and loving boy. We can't imagine our
lives without him! Thank you again for helping us find such a great dog to become part
of our family.
