Mallow

Mallow is an adoptable female Siberian Husky looking for a home at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control - West in Phoenix, Arizona. She is fully grown and medium in size. She is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to medical, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Mallow may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
