Foster Program

Can't adopt but see one that tugs your heartstrings? You can still help!

Our Mallies need your time and attention (for walking, play time, grooming)! Donations of equipment such as large dog houses, 10' x 6' kennel panels, leashes, collars, and warm blankets are also appreciated. Funds to help with food, vet expenses, and transportation costs are always welcome. Please see our sponsorship options and Thanks!

Right now we have a very limited number of safe houses (foster homes) available to our rescue Malamutes, but we hope to soon have as many as 20 of these homes at the ready throughout Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. These safe houses provide orphaned Malamutes with socialization, training, and monitoring of any medical conditions that may need to be addressed before they can be adopted out to a forever home.

If you are interested in fostering for MMR, do contact us and we will walk you through the foster home application process. Be prepared, though, as we have some very stringent rules, but that is because we know our breed very well, and know what they require to keep them happy and contained, so please try to be patient with our fussiness. While our dogs are in foster care we continue to provide for their expenses, you just provide the structured, loving environment that they need to thrive.

Fur-Ever Foster Program

Please help Moonsong by sponsoring a Fur-Ever Foster! Fur-Ever Fosters are special needs Malamutes, who, due to medical problems, age, or even cosmetic or behavioral issues will never be adopted. These sweet but imperfect Mals will live out their lives in foster care with Moonsong volunteers, and we need your help to make them as comfortable, healthy, and happy as possible.

Please Note: We don't have any Fur-Ever Foster dogs in our rescue at this time, however, we do have a number of older rescues that have been in rescue quite awhile and do need some extra medicine or supplements, so your donation is always welcome!

Please click the PayPal "Donate" button below to make a one time donation to the Fur-Ever Foster Fund. Your donations are tax deductible! You can specify the foster of your choice on the PayPal site. Or please consider sponsoring the monthly care of a specific Fur-Ever Foster Mal by joining our Fur-Ever Foster Program. Thank you for helping us with our special needs Mals!

 SCOUT

Size: Large
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Breed: Alaskan Malamute


Hi! My name is Scout. I am a handsome adult male Malamute whose long-time human died, leaving me all alone. I am very sad to have lost my friend and the only home I have ever known. Rescue took me in, but I have been here in the Moonsong emergency rescue kennels a very long time, almost 2 years. Although I have been in rescue for a while now, I am an optimist and will not to lose hope that I can find a new home and some new people to love ‘cause I’ve got a whole lot of love to give. I am very affectionate and can’t wait to be petted, hugged and have my great big adorable ears rubbed. I was a house dog before, and had all the love and attention any dog could want, but there are 7 other foster dogs here. My foster family does the best they can for me, but I get very sad sometimes, not having anyone to look out just for me. I really miss living in the house with my human. I am well trained, house broken, and great on a leash, and I do very well on a Springer attached to a bike. Do you need a companion for those hikes in the hills? I am your boy! Do you want a pal to snuggle with and watch TV? I am your boy! I am ready for you and all the love, fun and adventure you have to offer. I need to be the man of the house, but I can to go to a home with a mellow female dog, and please no cats or small children. I am neutered, current on inoculations, and micro chipped. Will I spend the rest of my life in a kennel, or will someone love me again?

Update: 12/7/10 - Scout had a malignant tumor that had come back after surgery with a vengence. It was decided to let the sweet boy go. RIP Scout.

 KIANA

Kiana
Size: Large
Age: Senior
Gender: Female
Breed: Alaskan Malamute
Hi, I am Kiana (Ki Ki), a mostly white Alaskan Malamute with pretty biscuit trimmings. My former owners adopted me from a local Humane Society, but had to move to a military base where I was not allowed to go. So, I have lost my home for the second time in my life, and am quite sad about it. I live in a foster pack of 5 other dogs and get along with everyone. I am a loving, sweet, mellow companion dog who likes belly rubs, car rides, and walks. I will spend the rest of my life with Moonsong since I'm not getting any younger and have developed some health issues that aren't getting any better.

Update: 7/1/10 - Kiana had a returning inoperable tumor, so it was decided to let her go, sweet girl. RIP Kiana.

 SIERRA SUNSHINE

Sierra
Size: Medium
Age: Senior
Gender: Female
Breed: Alaskan Malamute (mix)
Hi to you all! l am a lovely, mature, sweet Mal-a-nuff named Sierra Sunshine. I get along well with people, including smaller children, other dogs (including little dogs), and cats. I am afraid of really loud noises like thunder and fireworks, so I do need to be kept inside when that sort of racket is happening. I am content to spend the rest of my life with my foster mom and her pack, since I'm nearly 16 and am kind of a couch potato.

Update: 11/9/11 - Sierra - or Sara, as her foster mom called her, crossed over the bridge peacefully at age 16. RIP Sierra Sunshine.
