Fizzy

Meet Fizzy | 2-Year-Old Malamute<br/><br/>If you've ever wanted a dog who looks like a majestic polar bear but acts like a lovable goof... Fizzy is your guy.<br/><br/>Fizzy is a 2-year-old Malamute who came to us as a stray alongside a German Shepherd friend, and while we don't know everything about his past, it's clear he's learned resilience. What we do know is who he is now: a confident, gentle giant with a heart as big as his paws.<br/><br/>Despite his impressive size, Fizzy is incredibly easygoing. He walks politely on leash, taking in the world with calm curiosity rather than pulling ahead. He carries himself with a quiet confidence and does best with dogs who match his energy and respect his space — the kind of dog who knows how to read the room and play fair.<br/><br/>Fizzy is pure joy when it comes to playtime. Toys are his love language, and watching a big Malamute light up over a toy is truly something special. He's a “big oof” in the best way — goofy, affectionate, and happiest when he's just existing near his people, soaking up attention and good vibes.<br/><br/>One thing to know about Fizzy is that he can guard his food from other animals. This behavior appears to come from a place of uncertainty — likely a time in his past when meals weren't guaranteed. With consistent feeding routines and respectful boundaries, he does well and continues to show progress. He's not difficult — he's learning that food will always come, and that security doesn't have to be earned.<br/><br/>Fizzy is looking for a home that understands big dogs come with big hearts and sometimes a few big feelings. A family willing to give him structure, patience, and plenty of love will be rewarded with an incredibly loyal, fun-loving companion.<br/><br/>If you're ready for a gentle giant who walks like a dream, plays like a puppy, and loves like he's been waiting for you his whole life — Fizzy is ready to meet you. <br/><br/>If you think you would be my perfect forever home, my friends would love to hear from you!
