A malamute is not going to like the heat and humidity. He will love the attention and love most Villagers will bestow on him. Most dogs here are pretty friendly and, like their owners, like to say hi to their new friends.

As has been said, there are many places where your big boy can have room to run and walking around neighborhoods is usually welcome (barring a few curmudgeons). Do respect other people's property, pick up after your boy and take it home (don't dump it down the drain or drop it off at the mailboxes).

Pets, regardless of size, are showered with love here. Once he learns to cope with the heat, he'll be fine.
