Rescue of Alaskan Malamute Puppies

[katylied2]

Two of them have been in loving foster homes for over 2 years and are still so shy they are virtually unadoptable.

my nerves.... how can someone be like that and treat animals this way, evne the whole dog fighting business i couldnt watch that and using these poor pups as bait.. are you serious that is literally disgusting! i wish i could save every puppy in the world. there isnt any dog fighting where i come from but alot of neglect and people who just dont know how to care for the animals, cats are more neglected then dog where im from (CAPE BRETON,nova scotia Canada) But glad to hear the pups are good :)

I loved the video at the end. Our Mal does the SAME things when she is super happy/excited!

[LondonLell]

Really moving can't believe the heartlessness and greed of some people, then the generosity and kindness of others... You have my admiration, support and respect

[Rider19Ih]

I never seem to get my head around why people abuse dogs

[Worgenftw]

That's awesome, indeed I love to hear a great, though sad, story of going to hell and coming back to the light, or in this case, Northern Light. :)

If I was the dog i would have tore him to peices,,,GRRRRR!!! makes me so angry

[kaidsmom]

What a wonderful ending!! You folks are a real blessing.

@igormon You are absolutely right. These pups were matted down to the skin - especially awful because they were so young, and already in such abominable condition. There was no other option for them, particularly since they were basically feral when they came in. Folks who think they are doing their dogs a "favor" by shaving them in hot weather are actually placing them at risk, as the coat protects from heat as well.

[igormon]

@katylied2 Ahh well I'm glad to hear that then, and I hope the dogs continue receiving such great care as I am sure they will with you.

I would adopt one but for now as large as my backyard may be I still live in the city and one mal is enough. I think two of them would make my jogging sessions quite interesting since the one I have right now seems to think I'm a sled that needs to be pulled.

Also I apologize for the double post, youtube's commenting system is really out of whack.

Take care.

Why do you give such short haircuts to these dogs? Is it because of the previous neglect to clean out the previous coat and make room for a new one or what?

I never really agreed with such practices, I never cut my mal's fur.Why do you give such short haircuts to these dogs? Is it because of the previous neglect to clean out the previous coat and make room for a new one or what?

I hope you are rescuing one! :)

Mike+Lobo+Blizzard+Moose say "Good stuff Northern Lights folks!" --your friends forever at the falling leaves

[karbeans2004]

Right as the video brought tears to my eyes, it turned and made me smile! Glad to hear they are all well. Makes me feel kinda bad I purchased Mals from a breeder when I could have rescued one, but I can't dwell on it... Love these little guys!

[alahdorn]

OMG this vid brought tears to my eyes. I own a siberian husky myself so I know what bundle of joy they are. I have also rescued horses from horrific circumstances and feel that the cruelest creature out there can be man. You have done a wonderful job with these dogs and I wish them and yourselves all the best for the future. :-).

[pawneaterpq4]

A friend of my told me about this site & we may both adopt a dog from it in the spring. Spreading the word of your wonderful work & needy canine beauties will hopefully find them all homes. Always get a shelter dog folks!!!

[aeryith]

That's so wonderful!! They're both special dogs in my book! Taylor adjusted really fast, and she's a really smart cookie - looks like the apple don't fall far from the tree. :)

[aeryith]

Taylor and her son were taken in by Northern Lights after being rescued by a puppy mill. She has become my best driving buddy and a big part of our family. Thanks for giving her a second chance, and for her coming into our lives!

[katylied2]

Taylor's son Truman FINALLY went home last week and is doing beautifully!  He is 100% housebroken; amazing, really, since he grew up in a kennel and this is his first time in a home!

[tallicAgrl9051]

Thank God for people like you.

i want to open an animal shelter myself when i grow up.

[JKM08Videos]

O my Gosh.. That's so sad.. I wish I could go to Northern Lights and adopt all of them! At least they were rescued before MAJOR damage from the dog fighter, which I hope and assume got charges or arrested.

[jimdodels]

Love you, Northern Lights volunteers. Taiga rescued husky from 2005 sends his bestest to these sweet puppies.

[rlylvsdogs]

fantastic , if only each person who watched this video would donate a little time or money to the rescue- think what they could do!

[LexiiiiLu]

thank you so much for the awareness of puppy mills--and what we can do to help these dogs! i have a all white husky/malamute mix---and a lab- they both are the love of my life!

[RascalsPlace]

Awesome story! Wish more animals were rescued from their abusers. 5 stars!

[LilyTails]

The happy romping at the end is wonderful!!

[zbindch]

That's FANTASTIC! A big WOO from Nikita and Gunner, Northern Lights class of '04, now in Pennsylvania. Keep up the great work!
