IAMRA is a not for profit , 501c3 organization established to shelter and care for Alaskan Malamutes which have been abandoned, turned into shelters, or are in need of a new home. The dogs are placed in temporary foster homes (or a boarding kennel if foster homes are not available) until a permanent home can be found. Our commitment is to place each dog in the best new permanent home to give them a second chance in life.
