An Avalanche of Malamute

This beautiful malamute was abandoned at a local vet after his owners ran over him as a puppy; walking away rather than paying the surgery bill. The vet quickly ran out of room and time for him as he grew...and grew...and grew. At 13 months of age, he ended up at the shelter as a "last hope" before being put down~~ I saw his picture in the paper, and it was love at first sight. My husband wasn't so sure when we actually saw him, he was "sure a lot of dog". But he pasted me against the wall of the shelter and licked my whole face; I was toast! (He's much better behaved now)
I named him Avalanche, it's a description as well as a name! He shares his forever home with 3 rescued kitties, my huge, spoiled rotten "baby".
