UPDATE FOR FIRST QUARTER 2010 COMING SOON!

We have recently added this information so everyone can see how desperate we are for help. I will be adding the remainer of the 2009 year on a monthly basis and will also add the previous months.

We lose money on every dog we rescue. We had increased our adoption fee to $200 to offset the expense but then no one was adopting. Poeple still think we should give them a fully vetted do for free! So now the fee's are much lower AND donations have almost stopped.

Each dog we rescue cost us $168 to do the standard vaccinations, fecal, deworming, heartworm test, microchip and spay/neuter. Many dogs require much more then just that basic care. Puppies require multiple sets of shots and dewormings. Each additional set adds $14 to our cost. Each dog that is heartworm positive cost us an adiitional $250 to treat. We also have sanctuary dogs that have come in that are elderly and sick and no one will adopt them.

Please also see out Wish List which is made of things that we NEED, not things we just wants. Thank you!

DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE

How are my donations tax deductible?

For all donations under the amount of $250, you may use your check or PayPal receipt as your tax receipt. However, Forgotten Paws Pet Rescue will send you a receipt for your donation .

Only donations which do not receive anything in return can be used as a tax deduction. For example, the adoption fee paid for a pet is not tax deductible because the fee is directly connect to "merchandise" according to the federal government.

How do I make a donation?

There are three ways to make a tax deductible donation to Forgotten Paws.

.....1) you can mail a check. Please note: this address is a residence. Please do not drop a dog off at this location or come to visit pets. We will hopefully soon be able to afford a PO BOX! Address: 3360 Joseph Drive, Acworth, GA 30101

-or-

......2) you can make a donation through Paypal

  3) Setup an automatic donation payment through your bank account online by clicking "subscribe" below

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.
