Kobuk (A138335) is a 1-year-and-10-month-old malamute who weighed 103.8 pounds on intake! 08/03/26 This big guy is Kobuk! Kobuk was returned to the shelter because his Malamute ways have proven to be a bit too much. Kobuk tests his boundaries and in his surrendering home, he had become quite destructive. He was known to break out of kennels, chewed through a barn's wooden wall, destroyed a vacuum, and more. He was stated to be happy when outdoors in their fenced in yard and would even pull wood behind him. Kobuk is looking for a job in his next home that can keep him mentally stimulated and help him sort out his destructive ways. He is still a young dog and has a lot of potential to thrive in the right home setting. Kobuk was said to be treat-motivated and was eager to sit for treats while at the shelter! However, he is a large boy, and he would like to help himself to any food within his reach. Kobuk was also noted to get into the trash if the opportunity presented itself. On a positive note, Kobuk was said to be friendly with babies and children! However, it was noted that he does not understand his size which can get him into trouble. Kobuk was said to have tried to play with the cat in the home, but the cat was not appreciative. He was said to have a high prey drive and should not go to a home without chickens/poultry. He generally does well with other dogs, but does always depend on the other dogs feeling towards him. Appropriate introductions should always be made to help set him up for success.
