Forgotten Paws is a small, volunteer-driven rescue group based in Atlanta and they’ve found themselves behind the eight-ball financially. From Facebook:
Available Balance $1,086.08 – Not a pretty picture when we view our bank account.
We owe one vet $4500 outstanding balance
We owe a second vet $400 PLUS we have two dogs for vet work tomorrow (Doug has to have teeth pulled and Stitch is getting his full veterinary work up with neuter)
We are completely out of microchips to chip outgoing dogs and have to pay Shering Plough $800 before I can order 25 more chips at $400 a box.If you can please donate $5 to help it is greatly appreciate. When you are a small rescue like us, we live day to day, penny to penny. We do not bring in the hundreds of thousands of dollars the large corporate style rescues have donated. We do not bring in the millions of dollars the big national organizations do.
All donations go straight to the care and housing of the animals. We have a mortgage on the kennel house and utilities. We have veterinary bills, and cleaning supplies to buy. We have become masters of couponing and sale searchers for items we need. We purchase the heartworm and flea medications to medicate 40+ dogs a month, and are constantly having to replace cages and do repairs. Filling the transport bus with gasoline cost $120!
So please consider donating $5 a month.
Today, I’ll donate $25 to Forgotten Paws and I hope you’ll join me. You can click here to donate online via Facebook. Alternatively, you can visit their website and click on the “Donate” button in the right sidebar and donate via PayPal. Finally, you can mail a check to:

Howard is a Pit Bull mix in urgent need of a foster home – Howard spent the first year or more of his life on a chain. He had very little human interaction. When we found him, we were trying to catch some puppies that had been dumped behind his house. The puppy was curled up with Howard sleeping. Howard was so upset when we took his friend. It took a few weeks but we eventually talked the owner into releasing Howard to us. Howard did great in the kennel house playing for the first month. He gained 10 lbs, grew his missing hair back and played his heart out.
Howard loves to play. He plays fetch and plays great with the couple of male dogs he likes as friends. He knows who is submissive and who is not. He can’t be with dominate dogs at all. Howard needs work on the leash. He pulls but he seems to be learning. Sadly, b/c of Howard’s issues with some dogs, he is in a outside pen alone all day at the kennel house. He is in a crate at night inside because the darkness and noises scare him. FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED ASAP! He needs to get into a foster home so we can learn more about him and get him placed in a forever home. He deserves to know love!
Contact Forgotten Paws if you’re interested in adopting or fostering Howard.
Jojo is a three-yeard old, 23-pound King Charles Spaniel mix – a love bug full of playful energy and lots of personality. He loves to play fetch is the fast dog I have ever seen when running. He loves his toys, stuffed animals, bones, balls, whatever. I give him an empty water bottle and he is in heaven! Jojo is also a huge lap dog and will not be able to be trained to stay off the bed or furniture. I have had Jojo for 6 months and I know his personality very well. He is a great great dog but can be a little stubborn. If I am ready for him to go in his crate and he is not, he will stand across the room, and flip over and show me his belly. I have to go pick him up! He loves all dogs, chases the cat, and loves all people. Jojo needs an active home who can wear him out. FENCED YARD is required b/c he is a little scared on leash and barks at everything. He gets detracted and won’t potty plus he needs room to run and play ball!
Jojo is available for adoption from Forgotten Paws in Acworth, Ga.
Hattie is a little 4-year old, 14-pound Chihuahua mix female who is losing her home due to a new baby. She has always been an only child and still wants to be center of attention. She is jumping on the baby, growling at the baby and literally laying on the baby for attention when mom is holding her. Good with other dogs but again, can get jealous. Has not been with cats and would be fine with older kids to love on her.
Walks on a leash and loves to play. She is “the most affectionate dog on earth.”
Contact Forgotten Paws if you are interested in fostering or adopting Hattie.
Dooley is a three-year old, 20-pound male Shih Tzu mix who is very smart and eager to please. I sometimes forget he is here b/c he is such a loner and can fend for himself. He does love to play with the other dogs. He likes to get up high on things to sleep yet does not get on my bed. He likes the arm or back of the couch. He loves to roll around and wiggle happily on the rugs and in a new pile of mulch. LOL He keep us laughing. I do crate Dooley still b/c he will occasionally have an accident but I think once in a normal, consistent home, this will end. He is so smart and just wants to be loved.
Dooley is available for adoption from Forgotten Paws in Acworth, Ga.
