ALASKA

Belgian Malinois · Female · Puppy

Alaska, a beautiful Alaskan Malamute, is available for adoption! Found wandering, she was well identified but her owner did not wish to reclaim her. Alaska does not escape the "rule" - like many Malinois, she has already had two families in less than a year of life. Alaska is a dynamic, hyper playful and affectionate dog. She has some good basic education and can still learn a lot more. When she loves, Alaska gives everything but with strangers, she can be less tender. Several visits will therefore be necessary to establish a real bond of trust. A family who knows the breed well, its needs and the demands it may require would be a real plus; otherwise, an accompaniment with an educator will be necessary. Responsive to everything that rolls, the work started by the educator who is currently following her will have to be continued outside the shelter. For this, the educator can perfectly accompany his future family. The latter has also introduced her to cani-vtt (tip for sports enthusiasts!). If her future family already has one or more well-behaved dogs, a meeting should take place in order to evaluate their compatibility. On the other hand, no cohabitation is possible with our feline friends. As a precaution, we will also avoid cohabitation with young children. Alaska really deserves happiness with a serious, stable and committed family so do not hesitate to come meet her, love at first sight guaranteed!

Arrivée le 17 Avril 2026 La jolie Alaska est à l’adoption ! Trouvée errante, elle était bien identifiée mais son propriétaire n’a pas souhaité la récupérer.. Alaska n’échappe pas à la « règle ».. comme beaucoup de malinois, elle a déjà eu deux familles en moins d’une année de vie. Alaska est une chienne dynamique, hyper joueuse et affectueuse. Elle possède quelques bonnes bases d’éducation et elle peut encore en apprendre tout un tas. Quand elle aime, Alaska donne tout mais avec les inconnus, elle peut se montrer moins tendre. Plusieurs visites seront donc nécessaires pour établir un véritable lien de confiance. Une famille qui connaît bien la race, ses besoins et l’exigence que cela peut demander, serait un véritable plus ; dans le cas contraire, un accompagement avec un éducateur sera nécessaire. Réactive à tout ce qui roule, le travail entamé par l’éducateur qui la suit actuellement, devra être poursuivi à l’extérieur du refuge. Pour cela, l’éducateur pourra parfaitement accompagner sa future famille. Ce dernier l’a d’ailleurs initié au cani-vtt (avis aux sportifs !). Si sa future famille possède déjà un ou plusieurs congénères BIEN CODÉS, une rencontre devra avoir lieu afin d’évaluer les ententes. En revanche, aucune cohabitation possible avec nos amis félins. Par précaution, nous éviterons également la cohabitation avec les jeunes enfants. Alaska mérite vraiment le bonheur auprès d’une famille sérieuse, stable et investie alors n’hésitez pas à venir la rencontrer, coup de coeur garanti !!

About ALASKA

What life with ALASKA looks like

ALASKA is a medium-sized puppy/kitten belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA 65 Tarbes in Tarbes.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting ALASKA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ALASKA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA 65 Tarbes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALASKA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ALASKA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA 65 Tarbes will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is ALASKA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if ALASKA isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA 65 Tarbes early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALASKA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
