Chesapeake Area Alaskan Malamute Protection (CHAAMP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping purebred Alaskan Malamutes in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C. CHAAMP provides foster homes, kenneling, training, and vet care for Alaskan Malamutes who have been abandoned, turned into shelters, or are otherwise in need. Our goal is to find and match loving families with our pups, share educational resources, provide positive reward-based training recommendations, and advocate for Alaskan Malamutes. If you are interested in adopting or fostering a Malamute please complete an application. We ask a lot of questions so we can do our best to match you with a Malamute that will best suit your lifestyle. Think of it as a match-making service. We are happy to discuss what it means to use positive reinforcement rewards-based training. Based on current scientific evidence, AVSAB recommends that only rewards-based training methods are used for all dog training, including the treatment of behavior problems. https://avsab.org/resources/position-statements/ Together we can continue learning and growing our relationship with our furry family members.
