I saw Rainey laying in a Auto Zone parking lot in decatur, GA and thought he was dead. When I approached, he barely moved but then jumped up and trotted off at high speed. I was unable to catch him and watched him disappear into a wooded area behind some houses. I would soon learn that Rainey loved to lay in the sun and during the afternoon you could see him basking in it in strangers yards or driveways. I was also to witness those people who lived in those homes, come outside, and run him off. He was doing nothing, just trying to feel better.

It took a week but we were able to get Rainey into a large humane dog trap. The key was Rotisserie Chicken!! :) He was terrified but let us load him into the car and take him to safety.

At the vet, Rainey was said to have Demodectic mange. This mange is non-contagious and all dogs have this mite. Unfortunately, when a dogs immune system is severely suppressed either by stress or other ailments, the demodex can take over. If not treated, it will eventually cause organ failure or seizures as it migrates throughout the body. Mange is NOT just a skin condition if it goes untreated.

Rainey is on daily antibiotics and Mitiban baths and dips to be given once a week. He may never grow his hair back and he may have to fight this for many months. The important thing is that we get his immune system healthy again and help him get better.

Several people asked why I don't just put him down and I explain it this way: This boy has fought on his own for so long to survive, what kind of rescuer would I be to just kill him without giving him a chance now that he is in good loving hands.

Please donate to help us with Rainey's vet care. He deserves to get better and know what love and a home is.

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.
