I wasn't on this board when this story began, but I wanted to share it anyway.
This beautiful big malamutt is Summit and for several months she was one of my foster dogs.
She made it very clear that she was not meant to be a pack dog She was extremely dog aggressive and would escape from her area just to beat up another dog. With nine others around at the time, we just couldn't have that. Goldie would shake every time she saw Summit and Kayleigh suffered an eight inch gash across her neck that needed emergency surgery. After much discussion with the shelter we foster for, it was decided that they would try and find her a one dog home and we would take Delta and Antare (who fit in a pack much better).
I stayed involved with Summit and went to visit and walk her several times a week. I told the shelter that if they ever decided she was unadoptable, I would be the one to take her to that final vet appointment.
Today I went in to walk her at lunchtime. I knew she would want to play in the snow and the shelter administrator asked if I could come back tonight and help send her off to the PERFECT forever home.He's young, single, does lots of hiking, no other pets, no kids, big fenced dog run out in the boonies and has even owned another similar dog in the past who is now at the bridge. He showed up at the shelter with a brand new leather collar, leash, treats and toys. Summit filled the back seat of his little car!
It was so great to see her get the wonderful home she deserves. He's promised to keep us updated on her. Have a great life Summit!

Thank you for sharing, and please tell us about any updates too.
I don't know if he'll ever find a home.
