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.
Aldi is a sweet, sensitive 3-year-old mixed-breed girl with a soft heart and a shy spirit. She comes from a large group of dogs abandoned in a remote mountain area, where they survived with very little human contact. Thankfully, a few of them, including Aldi, were brought into our adoption program so they could finally experience comfort, safety, and love.
Because Aldi and her friends grew up without proper socialization, the world is still a very new and overwhelming place for her. She’s timid and cautious at first, but every day she surprises us with her quiet bravery. Aldi is settling beautifully into the rhythm of shelter life, and we’re confident she will thrive in a calm, predictable home where she can blossom at her own pace.
Aldi dreams of a patient and gentle family, people who will cheer her on as she discovers all the wonderful parts of being a beloved companion. She may benefit from having a cozy crate or quiet corner as her safe retreat, as long as it’s introduced slowly and kept open so she can come and go as she pleases.
She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and did very well during her nose-to-nose greeting with a cat through our screened catio, so she may be able to live with a friendly feline after proper introductions.
Aldi weighs just under 70 pounds, has a calm, easygoing energy, and is still figuring out “toys.” She absolutely adores gentle attention and affection, and is learning that love isn’t scary at all!
Aldi is housetrained, enjoys spending time with familiar people and dogs, and is working on keeping all four paws on the ground (she sometimes forgets and jumps up for affection, but it’s easily redirected).
With one mostly blue eye, she may have a little husky or Australian shepherd in her, but the rest of her mix is a sweet mystery.
Welcoming Aldi into your life means embracing a rewarding and heart-warming journey. She’s like a sheltered toddler discovering the world for the first time: everything is new, and every small victory is worth celebrating. If you’re willing to guide her gently, Aldi will repay you with trust, devotion, and the joy of watching her transformation.
If you have a calm home, a patient heart, and space for a shy girl learning how to be loved, Aldi may be the perfect companion for you.
All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Aldi 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!

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.
