My story

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 Zella, a beautiful young pitbull mix born 2/15/24 - still technically a puppy, but housetrained and eager to please. She arrived at the shelter as a sheriff impound after having been abandoned by her owner, and is patiently waiting for a person who will love her forever.

Zella has been in multiple dog playgroups at the shelter, and loves playing tug of war with her dog friends. She has some separation anxiety (all too common with abandoned dogs) and had to have a toenail removed after injury from climbing a fence to be near others.

She reportedly shared her prior home with a cat, and did fine, but we have not yet cat tested at the shelter. We'll update when that has occurred.

Zella knows sit, and comes to her name when called. She is great with her routine and knows right where her kennel is when coming in from outside.

This sweet, loving 63-pound girl would be good in a home where she can be with her person most of the time and play with other dogs.


All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Zella is a suggested minimum of $125 (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!
