Laredo (BONDED with Riviera) - Husky and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Republic, 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.

Introducing Riviera and Laredo, a delightfully charming pair of Huskies looking for their forever home together! Riviera is a confident 7-year-old lady, and 6-year-old Laredo is her faithful shadow. We suspect Riviera might actually be Laredo's mom, especially since Laredo has a complete meltdown whenever he's separated from her. At around 63 pounds each, these two are completely inseparable!

This bonded and housetrained pair has so much personality. Riviera naturally takes the lead, while Laredo happily follows her guidance—stopping along the way for occasional zoomies through the sandbox! Both of them absolutely love playing in the water trough, taking treats gently, and enjoying a lifestyle that balances indoor relaxation with outdoor fun.

Like true Huskies, they are skilled escape artists and expert diggers. In fact, they once dug their way out of the shelter play yard, only to dig themselves right back in once they realized they prefer reliable meals, comfy spots, and tons of love! A secure yard is a must for these clever pups.

They get along well with other polite dogs, provided everyone shows mutual respect, though they prefer a feline-free home due to their natural Husky prey drive.

If you're looking for a fun-loving duo with double the devotion, double the affection, and endless entertainiment, Riviera and Laredo are ready to join your family!


All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Riviera and Laredo is a suggested minimum of $250 (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!

The husky breed is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by piercing eyes and a thick double coat. These medium sized, energetic dogs are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, making them wonderful companions for active families. Originally bred for sledding and endurance in cold climates, huskies are intelligent and independent, often displaying a strong prey drive. Proper training and regular exercise are crucial to keep these playful and social animals happy and well adjusted.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
