Ethel is a BIG, sweet malamute with a lovely disposition. She is happy, happy, happy when she is around people. She loves to be brushed, which is good because she has a coat that needs regular brushing! Ethel has lived with other dogs in the past, but she prefers male dogs. We think her forever home should be cat free. Ethel does take medication daily to help with a condition that causes her to drink and urinate a lot. With the medication, she is like any other senior dog. The medication costs about $45 a month and will require a yearly visit with your veterinarian. If you would like to set up a meeting with Ethel, call the shelter at 906 632 2519. Please call for the quickest response to inquiries as those submitted through FB, Petfinder, and email are not always closely monitored. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is required before bringing Ethel home.
