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.
Meet Buddy, an incredibly loving and affectionate 2 year old 50-pound border collie mix boy who is ready to find his forever home. While he has a mostly calm, gentle, and laid-back demeanor, and enjoys pets and lounging, Buddy has one major quirk: he loves to chase after cars, a behavior that requires a very secure, tall, and sturdy fenced yard to keep him safe. Because his previous owners found it very difficult to keep him contained, a Fort Knox-style fence is mandatory if he is to be outside unsupervised at any point. He is a true Houdini-style escape artist!
Beyond his need for secure containment, Buddy is a smart, trainable Border Collie mix who learns new commands incredibly fast. He already knows basic commands and has a unique, impressive, trick routine: with just a finger snap and the display of a "1," he will sit, and with a second snap and a "2," he will lay down, showcasing his intelligence and eagerness to please. It can be challenging to keep his attention outside at the shelter because of all the cars driving past (sigh). He is housetrained, too.
He enjoys chasing a ball, though he is still working on the "retrieving" part of fetch. He is a quiet companion, not barking except when engaging in play with other dogs. He's reported to be good with cats, and should do well with older children. Until his habit of jumping up for love and affection is cured, he would be likely to knock over toddlers and then lick them endlessly (ha). He doesn't have a lot of leash experience, but is picking up the basics very fast!
Buddy is a charming, loving, and intelligent, dog looking for an active, secure home where he can be pampered, properly stimulated, and kept safe.
All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Buddy 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.
