LOOKI

Alaskan Malamute · Male · Senior · 9 years

LOOKI arrived with us because his owner unfortunately could no longer properly care for him, due to a lack of presence and space. LOOKI embodies the quiet strength: he is a calm, composed, and pleasant companion to have around every day. On walks, he strolls serenely without pulling, though he can be more reactive when crossing certain dogs or when he spots cats, which he likes to chase. Despite this, he remains mostly social with other animals of his kind. At home, LOOKI knows how to be alone without difficulty: he does not destroy things, does not bark, and remains very calm during absences. He is close to humans and appreciates company and moments of tenderness. Affectionate and gentle, he has already interacted with children. LOOKI ideally seeks a family living in a house, with an environment allowing him to enjoy peaceful outdoor time. He loves beautiful walks and shared moments with his humans, but does not need intense sporting activities. A peaceful and endearing companion who only asks for an loving home to peacefully enjoy his coming years.

Looki est arrivé chez nous car sa propriétaire ne pouvait malheureusement plus s’occuper convenablement de lui, par manque de présence et d’espace. Looki incarne parfaitement la force tranquille : c’est un grand chien calme, posé et agréable à vivre au quotidien. En balade, il marche sereinement sans tirer, même s’il peut se montrer plus réactif lors du croisement de certains chiens ou lorsqu’il aperçoit des chats, qu’il aime poursuivre. Malgré cela, il reste sociable avec la plupart de ses congénères. À la maison, Looki sait rester seul sans difficulté : il ne détruit pas, n’aboie pas et se montre très calme durant les absences. Proche de l’humain, il apprécie la compagnie et les moments de tendresse. Affectueux et doux, il a déjà côtoyé des enfants. Looki recherche idéalement une famille vivant en maison, avec un environnement lui permettant de profiter tranquillement de l’extérieur. Il aime les belles promenades et les moments partagés avec ses humains, mais n’a pas besoin d’une activité sportive intense. Un compagnon paisible et attachant qui ne demande qu’un foyer aimant pour profiter sereinement de ses années à venir.

About LOOKI

What life with LOOKI looks like

LOOKI is a large senior alaskan malamute dog waiting at SPA Colmar in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 LOOKI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LOOKI?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Colmar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LOOKI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LOOKI if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Colmar 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 LOOKI 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 LOOKI 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 Colmar early rather than rehoming privately; they know LOOKI 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.
