My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application
Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.

Introducing Zella, a beautiful young pitbull mix born 2/15/24 - still technically a puppy, but housetrained and eager to please. She arrived at the shelter as a sheriff impound after having been abandoned by her owner, and is patiently waiting for a person who will love her forever.

Zella has been in multiple dog playgroups at the shelter, and loves playing tug of war with her dog friends. She has some separation anxiety (all too common with abandoned dogs) and had to have a toenail removed after injury from climbing a fence to be near others.

She reportedly shared her prior home with a cat, and did fine, but we have not yet cat tested at the shelter. We'll update when that has occurred.

Zella knows sit, and comes to her name when called. She is great with her routine and knows right where her kennel is when coming in from outside.

This sweet, loving 63-pound girl would be good in a home where she can be with her person most of the time and play with other dogs.


All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Zella is a suggested minimum of $125 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!

Additional adoption info

Our minimum adoption donations are indicated on each pet's listing.

The first step toward adoption is to fill out the application, which we can email to you or you can find on our website:

http://forgetmenotshelter.org/Application

Filling out the application in no way commits you to adopting - it simply enables us to get you preapproved, in case you decide you want to adopt. If you are then approved and offered a pet placement, you may always refuse the placement. If you accept a placement, we always give you three days (for puppies and kittens) or thirty days (for adult dogs and cats) to live with each other; if during that time you decide that your new pet simply won't work out, for any reason, we will accept the pet back with a full refund of your adoption donation. You could either return the pet directly to us, or have it picked up on our next transport! I must say, we are very proud of our successful placement record - we really work hard to make sure you and your pet will be a great match.

If you are out of our immediate area, we ask that you email some photos of your home, yard (including fence if you have one), any "animal-specific" areas (such as a dog run, cat tree, or sleeping area) and any other pets you currently own. Sometimes photos enable us to skip the pre-adoption home visit, which can speed things up considerably for out of area adoptions! For the vet reference, either a vet who is seeing your current pets, or a vet who saw a former pet, is acceptable. If this is your first pet ever, congratulations on joining the pet world! :-D We will consider your application without a vet reference, but we would like to know what vet you think you will use for your pet. Without a vet reference, please be sure to provide at least two strong personal references who would know how you are with animals.

If we have an upcoming transport scheduled to your area, we will make every effort to process and approve your application in time for the transport.

Go meet their pets

The shelter is located at 49 W Curlew Lake Rd, Republic; we have open hours every Wednesday and Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. and also can schedule appointments for preapproved applicants to meet the pets.

We do transports of adopted pets to the Seattle and Spokane areas at least once each month, and can sometimes schedule transports to other locations in WA, ID, OR, MT as needed.
