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.
Somers is a beautiful German Shepherd who came to us as a stray and, sadly, was never claimed. She’s estimated to be around 5 years old, is housetrained, and has shown herself to be a deeply loving, gentle companion.
Somers adores every person she has met. She bonds quickly, leans in for affection, and wants nothing more than to be someone’s devoted shadow. However, she’s made it very clear that she prefers to be the only pet in the home. She doesn’t enjoy the company of other dogs, and she confidently believes that once you have her, you won’t need any other pet!
Like many dogs of her breed and age, Somers has a bit of mild hip discomfort. She gets around very well, but appreciates a little help with higher steps, such as a car ramp or a booster step onto the couch for snuggle time. As she matures, joint supplements will likely help her stay comfortable and active. She currently weighs about 78 pounds.
What Somers wants most is simple: a soft bed near the fire, a human who loves her, and the chance to be someone’s loyal, constant companion.
If you’re looking for a sweet, steady, people-loving German Shepherd who will fill your home with quiet devotion, Somers may be your perfect match.
All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Somers 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.
