Non-profit that helps adoptable dogs and cats from local animal control shelter find both foster and forever homes vs. being euthanized due to overcrowding

Forgotten Friends is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the forgotten and overlooked adoptable pets in our local animal control shelters. These particular pets are at high risk for being euthanized. Although perfectly adoptable, many of these loving pets are euthanized each year due to limited cage space and overcrowding.

Our goal is to help these overlooked pets by getting them into foster homes where their wonderful personalities can come to life, and by getting them into the public eye through adoption events where people can meet them and see just how wonderful and loving they are!
While in the shelter, many of these dogs and cats can appear sad, timid, depressed and therefore are often overlooked by potential adopters. Certain breed stereotypes, minor but easy to treat health issues, and even coloring of an animal can all play a part in why they may be overlooked at the shelter, despite their wonderful and loving personalities.

At Forgotten Friends, we get them out into the world, where they can play, socialize and get used to life in a home with foster families. That way, when they do find their forever family, the transition into a new home is easy peasy!! We give them a chance to show the world what a great best friend they will make anyone willing to give them a second chance at life!!

If you or someone you know would like to help in our efforts we would love to hear from you! Please send a message if you are interested in helping out! We are always in need of foster homes, donations, ideas, suggestions, or any other way in which you feel you can contribute to the cause!
