Richie was just pulled from a dangerously overcrowded shelter. This gentle Alaskan Malamute is part of a bonded pair and now has a second shot at life. Despite his uncertain start, Richie shows a composed, dignified side and a gentle nature—he values his independence but does not turn down a calm cuddle. Richie does not get along with cats but does well with other dogs. He's fully house trained, which makes settling into a new home easier. With long fur and classic malamute good looks, he suits someone willing to care for a larger, northern-breed dog. He’s in Moriarty, NM and ready for stability and belonging. Cancers like Richie tend to be loyal homebodies—he’ll form a strong bond with the right adopter. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
