Delilah

Why, why, why Delilah? Just why is such a sweet, young girl like you looking for a new home? We really don’t know, as Delilah was a stray and ended up at the pound, so we have no background on her.

Delilah is a real sweetheart, she loves nothing more than a cuddle and tummy rub, but she’s also happy just chillin’ by the back door.

She can jump up on people if she is not instructed otherwise and her manners aren’t always the best, so even though Delilah has basic training her new family will need to be prepared to reinforce good behaviour. For this reason, any children in her new home will need to be at least in their teen years.

Food? Hell yeah! Like any typical Malamute food is something of very high importance, so feeding times are when she definitely needs to be separated from her doggy companion. She will sit and wait for her food though, so she has been taught some manners!

Digging? Of Course! Like any typical Malamute Delilah loves to entertain herself by getting stuck into a bit of garden excavating, and of course chewing stuff!

Rough play? Why Not! She’s young, she’s energetic and she loves some exuberant rough-housing and zoomies with her fur-buddy, but her companion must be a male dog. Some female dogs she will politely tolerate at a distance if they are non-reactive but, like any typical Mally girl, Delilah is not friendly to all female dogs.

Cats and other animals? Definite no! Like any typical Malamute, Delilah has a strong instinct to hunt and chase, so there can be no cats or other pets in the household, and fences need to be strong, dig-proof and at least 5 foot high. Walks must always be on lead, and other than when she spots some critter of interest on her walks, she is quite well behaved on lead.

We haven’t had Delilah as an inside dog as yet and we are not sure how advanced her toilet-training is, so this is something her new owners may need to work on.

If this sweet, young Mally girl sounds like the one for you and you fit all her needs, please apply!
