Every year, too many Alaskan Malamutes, from puppies to young adults to older dogs, find themselves—through no fault of their own—in need of “rescue” and placement in that perfect “forever home”. We’re dedicated to helping them find their way.

Thank you for visiting the homepage of the Rescue group of the Alaskan Malamute Club of the United Kingdom (AMCUK).

Our mission is to re-home purebred Alaskan Malamutes of all ages with owners and in situations which will be successful for both the dog and its new family or ‘pack’.

Are you considering a Malamute? It’s important that you do adequate breed research before you consider purchasing or adopting a Malamute and there’s information on this site to help you get started.

While often very young dogs, and even puppies, often come into rescue through changed family situations, etc, it is also all too common for rescue dogs to be older dogs who have problems that need experience and patience to overcome.

At the same time, Alaskan Malamute rescue dogs, in appropriate re-home situations, have proven themselves to be wonderful companions, successful working and sporting dogs and delightful family members. Check out our Success Stories! There are dozens more not even written yet...could yours be one?

If you already have an Alaskan Malamute and are experiencing difficulties, there is a wealth of experience and information available to help you. It’s our aim, in the interest of the dog, to avoid re-homing where possible. Let us help you find the right path for you and your Malamute.

Please spend some time evaluating the breed, getting to know the dogs and the Malamute community, and get in touch with any questions.
Text Box: Are You Considering Adoption of An Alaskan Malamute in 2010? If you’re investigating, or have taken the decision to apply to adopt of one of our Alaskan Malamutes, here is a brief summary of some of the things you need to consider. You’ll find full explanations on the Rescue Process and FAQs page so please be sure to check out the details that apply to you. At present, there is a waiting list for Malamute adoption for people requesting puppies, very young dogs, dogs who were raised with children and, in particular, dogs who have been socialised with cats (or other small furry animals). While the number of Malamutes coming into rescue has increased dramatically in recent years, owing to the popularity of the breed, we’ve also seen a slowdown because we’re helping more Malamutes stay in their homes with behavioural assistance, owner training and ownership coaching. If you have young children and/or cats, it doesn’t mean that we can’t place a dog with you but it does mean that it may take more time and require some patience and careful screening. We do not place Malamutes in households where there are children under five years of age. And, because Malamutes have a high prey drive, there is no guarantee that a dog who accepted a cat in its former home (and “pack”) is necessarily going to accept your cat, or cats, in your home. We have resources and volunteers to help with the transition. When you’ve considered all the options and concluded that you do with to pursue an adoption, please use the link below to download an application and either (1) email it to rescue@malamuterescue.org.uk or (2) post it to the address on the last page of the application.

Most people who contact AMCUK Rescue would rather NOT rehome their beloved pets. The just don’t know there are options and that they’re not alone. If you’re facing a decision that might include requesting a rehome, but wish you didn’t have to, please get in touch to speak with a volunteer and discuss the options. Many people don’t realise that there may be simple solutions to some of the problems or needs they are facing. And we’re here to help. FLASH! We now have dedicated telephone “Rescue Advisors” who specialise in helping people work through issues over the phone. If you need help, please leave a message on our message phone (07969-627 963) and ask to speak to a rescue advisor. Whether it’s anxiety or howling at being left alone, boisterousness, destruct-iveness, food possessiveness or some other concern you have, we have experienced volunteers who have gone through the same thing you’re going through—and they’d be happy to help you, either through a phone conversation or working with you and your dog. If, ultimately, you do take the decision to request a rehome, you should prepare yourself and your dog by taking the following steps, in addition to being able to provide a full history: (1) The dog must be neutered—check with your local Council or the RSPCA, DogsTrust etc, for financial support or information, if needed. (2) Your dog must be KC registered and you should have the original certificate, in your name. If you need a duplicate certificate, it’s a small fee and a phone call to the Kennel Club. (3) Your dog’s vaccinations need to be current and an original vaccination booklet or card provided with the dog.
