Brownie (HOSPICE FOSTER NEEDED)

***NOTE: This pet is currently at the shelter in Republic, WA, and can be delivered to an approved hospice foster on our 5/2/26 adopted pet transport to Monroe, WA to begin a 30-day trial placement – part of our distance adoption program.***<br/><br/>Considering fostering Brownie? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application<br/><br/>Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.<br/><br/>Sweet Brownie is a gentle soul who proves that age is truly just a number when it comes to a heart full of love. At ten years young, this precious girl has transitioned into her golden years with grace and a quiet, comforting presence. While her eyesight and hearing aren't quite as sharp as they used to be, Brownie navigates the world through her remarkably keen sense of smell and the soft touch of a friendly hand. She doesn't need to see or hear you perfectly to know exactly where the affection is, and she will happily lean into your legs for a slow, steady wag of appreciation.<br/><br/>Brownie recently had several mammary tumors removed, and unfortunately one came back with evidence of malignant osteosarcoma cells. Due to this, the veterinarian recommended we NOT put Brownie through the stress of a spay surgery, and that we place her as a hospice foster instead. This means Forget Me Not would remain the legal "owner" of Brownie, and would cover any necessary medical expenses for her care over the rest of her lifetime, but you as her hospice foster would be her actual family, and could decide how you want to create and fulfill a bucket list for this beautiful soul.<br/><br/>Life with Brownie is all about the simple, beautiful moments like a sun-drenched nap on a soft rug or the predictable comfort of a slow stroll around the block. Because she relies on her other senses, she is looking for a calm and stable hospice foster home where she can learn the layout and feel secure in her surroundings. She is the ultimate companion for someone seeking a low-energy, soulful friend who asks for very little but gives back an immense amount of quiet devotion. Brownie may move a little slower these days, but her capacity for companionship is boundless, and she is more than ready to spend her retirement being cherished by a family who appreciates the beauty of a senior dog.<br/><br/>To ensure Brownie finds the safest possible retirement spot, it is important to note that a single-story home or a living space without significant stairs would be her absolute dream. Because her vision and hearing are limited, navigating steps can be a bit tricky, and she would much prefer a flat layout where she can confidently map out her surroundings.<br/><br/>We would recommend a home with no other dogs, or a similarly slow and sensory-challenged dog, and no cats for Brownie please. She weighs almost 90 pounds, something to consider when taking in a hospice dog - can you (alone or with help) lift her into a vehicle if/when needed?<br/><br/><br/>All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Brownie is a suggested minimum of HOSPICE FOSTER NEEDED, NO FEE (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.<br/><br/>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!
