Forgotten Paws Pet Rescue provides critical assistance to the hundreds of thousands of homeless animals who would other wise potentially be killed each year in Georgia. More then 100,000 dogs and cats die each year in the Atlanta area and surrounding counties. This number does not include the estimated additional 100,000 dogs and cats who die in the rural counties of Georgia where there are no shelters. We invite you learn more about our lifesaving programs in the region.

You can help today by contributing directly to our humanitarian programs for innocent dogs and cats whose lives have been shattered by neglect, abuse and the ignorance of their owners.

Your gift will directly support our organizations efforts to rescue and re-home as many of these pets as possible.

----	Your donations will go towards veterinary care such as spay and neuter programs for the rescued animals and for underprivileged families who can not afford to alter their animals on their own.
----	Your donations will go towards monthly medications, flea and heartworm prevention.
----	Your donations will go towards additional veterinary care for sick rescued pets, such as heartworm treatments for the dogs who test positive and hip surgeries for the dog who was hit by a car or broke his leg.
----	Your donations will go towards giving these pets a chance at life in a new home with responsible owners who love them.

Who We Are

Forgotten Paws Pet Rescue is made up of a very small group of volunteers. We all work full time jobs while running this rescue group. We all dip into our own pockets on a daily basis to get these pets the medical care and supplies that they need to survive until we can find them their forever homes. Unfortunately, some of them have to wait in line for care because we do not have the monetary means to help them immediately. That is where your donations come in.

Our rescued pets live in our homes, under our supervision. We do our best to train, housebreak and prefect these pets to the best of our abilities so that when we do find them their forever homes, they work out.

We at Forgotten Paws revere our rescued pets like our own. We treat them like members of our families until they can be adopted. We are a NO KILL group and we also ask that if a pet does not work out for any reason, 2 days or 10 years down the road, please return them to us. We love them that much.

Our motto: When we rescue a pet, we are in it for life. We are not just looking for a home, we are looking for the right home.

How do I find out if my company offers a Match-Gift Program?

An easy way to double or even triple your donation to Forgotten Paws is to find out if your company has a matching-gift program. Such programs typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees' personal philanthropy. Simply obtain a matching-gift form from your employer's personnel office, fill it out, and provide it to Forgotten Paws with your contribution

First, start with your Human Resources manager. This person will usually have the information you are looking for or can direct you to the right person. Most companies have a simply form you fill out or that is mailed to Forgotten paws. We fill in the form with a copy of your donation receipt or check and they mail us a check to match the percentage they offer.

We know many companies offer this program. If your company does, please let us know so we can compile a list of companies who support their smaller local charities.
