About Us
Adopting A Friend
Thank you for considering adopting a Rescue Pet from Forgotten Paws Pet Rescue, Inc. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that rescues and places abandoned dogs and cats. We are active in the entire Atlanta, metro area and surrounding counties.
Adoption Process: All applicants must be 23 years of age and must complete an adoption application. Your application will be reviewed and all veterinary and personal references will be contacted. Home Visit / Play Date - All household members, including current pets, are required to attend the home visit. All needed repairs to fencing must be completed prior to this visit. Two Week Trial Adoption Period - We require this two week trial on all adoptions so that the new pet has time to get settled and their true personalities can surface. It gives the new home a chance to make sure this pet is the right fit for everyone involved. Please understand that like a child, a new pet needs time to adjust and settle in. There is an adjustment period. Adoption Agreement and Adopton Fee
One policy to note: If you have children and you are applying for a dog, we will require you to have a physically fenced yard. Electric fencing is not acceptable in most cases but exceptions are sometimes made dependent upon the dog.

Who We Are
Forgotten Paws is a non profit animal rescue foundation staffed solely by less then a handful of volunteers. We work hard to find the perfect fits for our homeless pets and build lasting relationships with our adoptive homes. We at Forgotten Paws honestly feel that once we rescue a dog or cat, we are there for the animal for the rest of is life.
We work soley on public donations only, as our volunteers work full time and we do not have a grant writter to help us find funding. This makes things difficult but we continue to do our best and save as many wonderful pets as possible
