Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application. Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.

Meet Bella, an 11 year old female Shepherd mix, about 60#, who is looking for a quiet home where she can spend her golden years relaxing with her favorite human. She was surrendered through no fault of her own when her previous owner could no longer care for her, and she has so much love left to give. Bella is deeply affectionate and human focused, making her a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle filled with porch sitting, gentle strolls around the neighborhood, and watching movies.

Because she was previously attacked by another dog, Bella naturally feels cautious around other canines and takes time to build trust. If she were to join a home with another dog, her ideal sibling would need to be exceptionally calm, gentle, and laid back to help her feel safe. Additionally, while her previous owner mentioned she was afraid of cats, she has been seen chasing them, so she will do best in a home without cats. If you are looking for a loyal, loving friend to share life's simple, quiet moments, Bella is ready to meet you.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Bella is a suggested minimum of $95 or Senior for Senior (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!
