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 Shelby, a 41-pound mixed-breed black and white dog who looks like a Kelpie with a touch of border collie in the mix, arrived as a stray and was never claimed. She appears to be a juvenile, with an estimated date of birth of 5/15/24.
Shelby is a sweet and playful girl who is energetic and eager to learn. Every day she works on commands with the staff and volunteers, and seems like she will be fun for her owner to train.
She’s an active girl who loves to play with other dogs and is in multiple play groups. Shelby appears to be housetrained and has not had any accidents in her kennel. She’s vocal and will let you know when she needs to go outside.
Shelby seems very interested in cats, wanting to chase them. She might do fine with a calm and confident dog-savvy cat, but we'd recommend very slow supervised introductions.
As is common with juveniles, particularly those that have experienced being lost or abandoned, Shelby tends to jump up for attention; our volunteers have been working with her on this behavior and we have already noticed improvement.
She would fit best in a home with lots of space to run and play with other dogs, and would enjoy an active family.
All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Shelby is a suggested minimum of $150 (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!

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.
