Ethel
AvailableEthel is an Alaskan Malamute with a red and white coat, living her senior years in Sault Sainte Marie, MI. She is a spayed female, vaccinated, and needs regular grooming due to her medium-length fur. While she's not house trained, she is adapting with daily medication to manage a health condition, but otherwise acts like a typical senior dog. Ethel thrives on attention and would do best in a cat-free household with dog-savvy adopters.
About Ethel
Ethel is a big sweetheart with the classic malamute temperamentāgentle, happy, and very people-oriented. She lights up around people, always eager for company, brushing, or just a little attention. With a striking red and white coat that needs regular care, Ethel actually enjoys being groomed. Sheās lived with other dogs, although she gets along best with males and should steer clear of homes with cats. Daily medication helps Ethel manage a condition that leads to increased drinking and urination, but with her meds, sheās just like any other senior. The medication is straightforward, about $45 a month plus yearly vet visits. Ethel is not yet house trained, so be prepared for a little extra clean-up as she settles in. A meet-and-greet is required for homes with other dogs. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
