Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies and dogs in Washington

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. With one striking blue eye and one warm brown eye, Osa is as unique on the outside as she is in personality. She likely carries some Australian Shepherd or Husky traits along with her reported Rhodesian Ridgeback background—whatever her mix, she is 100% sweetheart. Osa is the sister of Ollie and Bennie, who were both adopted through Forget Me Not earlier this summer. While her previous owner kept her at the time, circumstances took a difficult turn, and Osa was recently brought to us by the sheriff after being found abandoned in an empty apartment. Now, this resilient girl is more than ready to start fresh with a loving family that will truly be hers forever. Born around 1/1/25, Osa is a happy, expressive dog who seems to always be smiling. She weighs just under 60 pounds, gets along well with other dogs, and was polite when meeting our dog-savvy test cat—so with proper, patient introductions, she may do well with a confident feline friend. Osa is housetrained, though she occasionally exhibits submissive urination during greetings or moments of uncertainty. A calm, supportive home with positive interactions will help her build confidence and grow past this behavior. Right now, human connection is Osa’s top priority. After her experience with abandonment, she gravitates toward people and wants to stay close to them, choosing affection over toys every time. We’re confident she’ll learn to enjoy play in time—she simply needs the security of a loving presence first. She’s already quite good on leash and is starting to understand “sit.” She does sometimes jump up for attention, so she’ll be a better fit for homes with older children who won’t be toppled like Weebles by her enthusiastic affection. Osa is a loving, sensitive girl who has weathered hardship and still greets the world with a smile. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who just wants to bond deeply with her person, Osa may be the perfect addition to your family. All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Osa 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!

Tiki is a sweetie boy! He loves toys, gives the gentlest kisses, has a downright adorable face, and the sweetest most sensitive puppy-heart I have experienced. He is estimated to be 6-months-old, still growing, and currently weighs around 32 lbs. He is in the sweet spot of being puppy-hearted but old enough to show you who he really is: sensitive, affectionate, smart, and full of potential. This guy lives with over 10 dogs in his foster home and is doing amazing with all of them. His dog friends range from young to old and although they like to play and chase him, he enjoys his solo time just as much as he does playtime. Tiki thrives in calm, low-drama environments and is incredibly affectionate. His foster shared that he bonds really deeply with his people. Once he knows you are his safe space, he becomes melty in your arms and soaks up the affection like a sponge. 
Tiki is excellent with small dogs and learning that large dogs are not intimidating. Growing up as the biggest in a home full of littles means he thought that’s what life is but as he has met and played with more same size and larger dogs, he is seeing how fun and exciting it is to meet your match. He would thrive with a medium-to-low energy small dog friend or an equal sized dog that can give him a little time to warm up before going right in to ask if he wants to play. He is a sweet boy and still learning how to engage with big dogs. He is very responsive to guidance and shares toys and love with ease so we have no doubt he will be quick to connect if joining a home with an equal/larger dog. The day I met Tiki we were under a full-blown thunder storm and Tiki did not care for it. Although I could see he was a little stressed while outside, once we were inside the house where it was calmer and quieter, he was back to his happy, relaxed self. Tiki would do well in a home with older kids where he can peacefully build a bond over time. He met 4 year old Kobe and was gentle and sweet in his approach but also cautious of him, especially when he started jumping around and being a little wild. When we asked his foster, she shared that he has only met kids a few times and briefly. Rescue dogs are often learning about lots of new things in their foster homes and that is true for Tiki. His foster has exposed him to so many wonderful things and is teaching him a variety of skills. Currently, she shared that he is house and crate trained, food motivated, eager to please, great in the car and has great basic leash skills. It is easy to imagine Tiki being happy in a home with a yard for bouncing around in but with regular walks and enrichment, it is possible to see him as an apartment boy. In a house with lots of dogs, Tiki eats well and did initially, on occasion, try to sneak over to another dog’s bowl, so he is fed in his crate which has helped him learn his own things from the sharing things. Tiki is a soft, sweet, sensitive boy who just wants to feel loved and secure. With a little patience, a gentle routine, and maybe a dog buddy—he’s going to thrive. Questions?

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)!

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!

MEET HOWIE! This happy, gentle Rhodesian Ridgeback/pit mix is a loverboy! Howie is 5 years young and has a heart full of love to give. He was rescued from a California shelter in very rough shape - he had major skin issues/hair loss and had clearly been neglected, but now he looks so much better! He's appreciative of love and attention and is a very affectionate boy. He's a big snuggler and will want to share your bed. He loves going for walks and other outings. He is good with some dogs but not others, so would probably thrive as the only dog in the home, or with a submissive female. He's been waiting a long time for his own home, and we're hoping 2025 is his year! Howie currently needs a foster or forever home. He weighs about 55-60 lbs. Please email for an application.
