 Duke Duke is a wonderful German Shepherd/Rottweiler boy, whose only “fault” is that he chases and kills chickens (and the occasional pack rat, and even a deer). He likes other dogs, and even gets along well with dog-friendly cats… and he loves kids! If you have a home where Duke can be treated as a family member, living inside and going outside safely leashed or fenced, then Duke is a dream-dog for you. See his full listing for more info, photos, and video! 
Poor Furby – he was originally adopted from us back in 2005, and joined his perfect family, where he was allowed to sleep in the bed and absolutely loved his life; unfortunately, his family was unable to keep him and also unable to find him a new home, so he was returned to us and we are going to try again. Furby is declawed on his front feet, which means he must be an indoor-only cat. He absolutely loves all the people he meets, but he does NOT like other cats, so his perfect home will be as an only-cat to a family or person who will keep him inside and love him as much as he will love them. He doesn’t have a lot of time at the shelter, because we have to either house him alone in . . . → Read More: New adoptable cat: FURBY 
This beautiful 2-year-old spayed female English Pointer is STILL looking for her home, 6 weeks after her arrival at FMNAS. She is a wonderful, joyful, loving girl who LOVES to run – see her full listing to figure out if she is the one for you. Pass the word to friends and family, this girl will make a lucky, active person or family SO happy. 
This beautiful girl is about 3 years old, and needs a special home, where she can experience the “tough love” of The Biggest Loser to help her get into proper feline fitness. She is not happy at the shelter, because we have to keep her in a playpen so she doesn’t eat ALL THE FOOD in the room… she would be a fabulous and talkative companion for anyone, and we know her right person is out there! See her full listing for more photos, video, and application. 
TOP: Buzzard, Bluejay, Moose, Ripley (fka Barbet). BOTTOM: Velvet, Matilda (fka Broadbill), Delilah (fka Bunting), Daisy Here’s a quick update on all the pets who have recently gone home, including those that just set off on today’s trip to Monroe. Buzzard and Bluejay get to go home together, where we are sure they will be suitably spoiled as they are the only pets in the home. Moose jumped right into the car when his new person drove out from Spokane to pick him up; he is excited to be a “guy and his dog” team member! Fluffy girl Ripley is going to make an 11 year old girl VERY happy, and Ripley (formerly Barbet) will be delighted to be the only pet in the home, so she can have all the attention and all the sun spots.

This handsome black German Shepherd has won the hearts of all the volunteers; he’s such a character, and we love how one ear sticks up and the other ear flops over. See his adoption listing – maybe he is the buddy you’ve been searching for all this time…. 
Our first Stop the Cycle litter of kittens for 2012 has arrived – heralding the beginning of “kitten season” which will last from now through November. These 5 cuties were born on 2/12/12, and will be ready to go home 4/20/12.

Every adoption day is a day for us to CELEBRATE! YAY for Rosie, who has joined her new parents Fred and Jana, for a lifetime of being spoiled and loved. We hope to see Facebook updates on her frequently! Now it’s her sister Daisy’s turn… we know her new person is out there somewhere (maybe you?). 
Pepper has made it safely to his new home on Kodiak Island, Alaska, where he is loving the snow! Read all about his adventure going home on his Adopted Page. This is the 4th or 5th Alaskan Forget Me Not adopted dog – YAY! We’d love to hear all about your experiences moving or traveling with your pets; we’ll put the best ideas and suggestions together into a separate blog post about how to eliminate those “We’re Moving and Can’t Take Our Pets” owner surrenders.

Daisy and her sister Rosie were reluctantly surrendered to the shelter; their owner loved them, but picked them up as “free pups” outside a big box store in a neighboring county, and THEN found out their landlord doesn’t allow dogs. Big box stores’ return policies don’t include pups picked up from random strangers, so Daisy and Rosie are with Forget Me Not now, and we are looking forward to finding them terrific homes. See their full listings, including a cute video, on our Dogs page (just click on their photos to bring up the full listings). 
Another wonderful Seattle-area delivery weekend saw 9 lucky pets delivered to adopters in Monroe; all are beginning their trial adoption periods with their new families, and we are hopeful that all will become permanent residents in their new homes (though there is already one possible allergy problem, and we are keeping fingers crossed that Allerpet will do the trick). Ladie has a built-in “big brother” in Chance, the resident dog at her new home, plus she gets a family of 5 humans – she won the doggy lottery! Cricket gets to be a new playmate for Peepers, the frisky kitty she has joined, and the two of them will no doubt boss Tango the beagle mix around. Azumi has finally joined her new “mom” – who has been . . . → Read More: Look who went home this weekend! 3 comments Shelter Pets ani, azumi, bobolink, caricket, felix, fiona, ginger, grizzly, ladie, r2d2, rose, toby 
Talk about a zippy-quick adoption; Hunter, who was only with us for 6 days, has gone to his new forever home! He has a dedicated, active, at-home person with whom to bond, and lots of room to run and play. On his first day home, he went for a 3 mile hike, and then taught his new person that Tennis Ball is a terrific game, one that can be played for hours… and hours… and hours…. We’re so happy for Hunter! This adoption means we have no adoptable dogs at the shelter right now. We don’t expect that to last very long, and we do have 2 dogs that are in on a sheriff’s impound that have not finished their holding period, so there are still bowls to be filled, coats to be brushed, and spirits to be nurtured . . . → Read More: Hunter has been adopted! 
TOP: Acorn & Tamarack (who went home together), Rex, Venus (now COCO) MIDDLE: Albatross and Adelie (now SHADOW and ABBIE, they went together), Tigger, and Snoopy BOTTOM: Akiko (now EDITH TINKER BELL), Doma (now LULU), Payton (now ESTHER), Azumi Another wonderful transport day saw 10 happy pets head across the mountains to their new homes on the west side. It was a teary goodbye, as Rex’s foster family had to send him off after raising him for 3 months (usually pups go to their new homes in 3-4 weeks, but Rex had to stay a bit longer due to a temporary health issue); LuLu had two families sharing foster time with her, and they had to say goodbye too. Even I was a bit sad (but in a good way) to say goodbye to my personal favorite shelter dog, Snoopy . . . → Read More: 2/11/12, transport day – see who went home! 2 comments Shelter Pets abbie, acorn, adelie, adopted, akiko, albatross, azumi, coco, doma, edith tinker bell, esther, lulu, payton, Rex, shadow, snoopy, tamarack, tigger, venus 
It’s no secret that the bulk of our adoptions happen on the one day per month we make our adopted pet delivery to the Seattle area; that’s where most of our adopters are found. There are always a handful of adoptions that take place in between the Seattle area deliveries, and the past few weeks found us celebrating three adoptions of hard to place pets. Bailey, the senior dog, has become a happy Canadian resident; Molly, our long-timer cat who joined the shelter back in July 2011, found a spot in the hearts of a local couple; and Ayla, our long-timer dog, has found a forever home with a family that drove hundreds of miles round-trip just to pick her up, because they couldn’t wait another day to have her in their home. All three of . . . → Read More: Look who went home from 1/15 to today! 
This past weekend we listed 6 new pets who arrived at the shelter after their owner died without a pet plan in place. These 5 cats and 1 dog came in a little frightened and confused, but now seem pretty happy and grateful. It seems that fortune is smiling on them, too, because of the six, only Adelie (the shy orange girl) and Albatross (the fluffy black boy) are still available – it looks like the other 4 will have placement offers going out by the end of the evening! If you might have a spot in your family for Adelie or Albatross, please check out their listings on our Cat Page (just click on their photos to bring up the full listings). 
Bailey is a very special guy; the vet thinks he is at least 10 years old, and he was abandoned this winter at a local trailer park. Sounds like an unhappy scenario, and we wouldn’t blame Bailey for complaining about his lot in life… but he is so darn HAPPY all the time, he’s the new go-to guy for anyone who has been having a bad day. You can read all about him on his Adoption Listing We know it will take a lot of luck for one very special person to find his listing and invite him home for however much time he has left… prayers, happy thoughts, and/or focused energy/visualizations from anyone who can send such help Bailey’s way will be much appreciated. Together, we can find him that special happy ending! . . . → Read More: New adoptable dog: BAILEY
Top row: Lady, Lea, Piper, Candelada. Middle row: Jaguar, Aracena, Emiko, Mars (now Fingers). Bottom row: Starr (now Sadie), Colilla, Cillan (now Huey), Armada, Vesta. Yesterday’s transport of adopted pets to North Bend took our first 13 adoptees of 2012 to their new families! While every single adoption is a cause for celebration, we are particularly thrilled with yesterday’s batch, because it included 12 cats… 9 of which are over 6 months of age, and 6 of which were the black shorthaired cats and kittens whose arrival we posted about just last week. Look for future updates on these pets on our Adopted Page.

These 6 cats are all related; someone didn’t call us soon enough for a voucher, and this is the result. In the top row, Jaguar is about 6 months old; sisters Lea and Piper are about 10 months old. In the bottom row, our three sibling kittens were born 11/11/11. Mama kitty has now been spayed and returned to her owner… now we just need to find homes for 6 black kitties! For those who don’t know – black cats are by far the hardest to find homes for, but we will try our best! You can see all the available cats on our website: CATS

Lady is a beautiful and affectionate Rottweiler, about 17 months old. Her former owner brought her to the shelter because, while Lady is wonderful with all sorts of people, she is NOT good with cats or chickens (both of which her former owner has). This is a fantastic and special dog, for some lucky person or family! Please make sure your homeowner’s insurance and your community will allow Rottweilers, as they are one of the breeds that is subjected to unfair blanket banning. You can see this gorgeous girl’s entire listing here: LADY 
MEET TIFFANY: she is a beautiful medium-haired torbie (tortoiseshell/tabby) girl, who is declawed on the front paws (awwwwww). Her owner couldn’t care for her, so she is patiently waiting at the shelter for someone to bring her home. See more photos, video, and description at her full listing: TIFFANY |
