Pet Orphans

Medium Dogs for Adoption

To find out where and when our adoption days will be held please look at our Calendar of Adoption Days . Each rescue group holds independent adoptions at different locations, so be sure to visit the adoption site of the rescue group that is the holder of the pet you're interested in. However, please realize that not all of the fosters can always be accommodated at each of our adoptions, so if you see a pet you are especially interested in, submit an online application. For information on a pending application, please click on the "contact" link on the specific dog, then click on the "e-mail" link. All applicants will be screened and an adoption fee is required. Pet Orphans' rescue groups do not ship or adopt pets out-of-state and many rescue groups prefer to adopt only in the metro Atlanta area.

Please consider participating in our Pet Guardians program , a way to help sponsor an orphan pet of your choice.

Sabrina


  • Sabrina

11 1/2 months old, 40 lbs - (Born 11.15.09) Sabrina is as sweet as her little face looks. She is a quiet little angel who loves to play with her siblings and just hang out. She is a little shy of new things but warms up quickly. She loves going to adoptions and meeting all the new people but will bark at new dogs until they sniff each other. Sabrina spends her days hanging out in the sun or napping on her dog bed with her mom. She chews on toys and sticks but has always been a good girl and has never chewed on anything that wasn’t hers. She was totally housebroken by 4 months old as well. I still crate her when I leave b/c I have many dogs and can’t leave them free. She goes in her crate when told and never makes a peep. She would love to have someone to spoil her and cuddle with her and realize how awesome she is. No one ever looks are her or gives her a chance. She wants to be loyal to one person of her very own.All dogs are fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Cuatro 8306 (blk)


  • Cuatro 8306 (blk)
  • young male
  • Flat-coated Retriever mix (Mix)

Date of birth: 4/1/2008. Cuatro is a handsome flat-coated retriever mix, around 40-50 lbs, who is looking for his forever home. He is really laid back and sweet, and just wants to cuddle quietly and be petted. Cuatro walks well on a leash, and seems to prefer walking through the neighborhood rather than on trails. He adores car rides and is very quiet in the car. Cuatro gets along extremely well with other dogs and cats, and likes hanging out at the dog park, though he is not a "runner." He really NEEDS a fenced yard to play in - the only times we really see him light up and wag his tail are when he is out playing. He would enjoy some well-adjusted doggie company, but it is not essential. Cuatro’s new favorite activity is chasing squirrels in the yard and barking at birds. He ignores toys, but loves pig ears, bones, and other chew treats. Cuatro is fine eating around the other dogs (no stealing or aggressive behavior). He is housebroken and does not need to be crated – a doggie blanket on the floor seems to be just fine. He needs someone who would be patient and continue to help him be more social. Cuatro is a gentle dog and would do best with older children. *****Always please remember, your adoption means a lifetime of love, good health care and commitment.*****

Mersey


  • Mersey
  • Adult Female
  • Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler

Mersey is a 4-year-old, 40-pound beauty. Mersey is predominantly black with lovely mottling in her coat. We think she is a Blue Heeler mix with the energy and grace that implies. Mersey is loving and loyal to her human friends. She plays well with other dogs, especially those of similar size and energy level. Smart and lively, Mersey has the makings of an excellent companion to the right family or person. She is best-suited for an all-adult home or one with older children. A fenced yard where she can run and play would be a huge plus. No small children, please, for Mersey.

1 1/2 yrs old, 25 lbs - Cocoa2 is part beagle and part cocker spaniel. He has the most lovingly sweet personality and a wiggly butt. He loves everyone who will talk to him and give him attention. He is very smart and is learning quickly. I have just started crate training him so he is in a crate at night and when I am not home. He seems 99\% housebroken but I think I just need to re-instill it in him in this new environment. He goes outside when told but wants me to go with him so that I don’t leave him outside. He really likes his rope toy and loves to play with his sister who was dumped with him (see Lola). They spend their days on the loveseat napping or playing with each other. Cocoa is good with the other dogs but will growl and bark a little in fear if they get in this face too quickly. He is great with kids. No Cats.History: Cocoa was dumped at the shelter by a mom with a child crying his eyes out. She dumped both of their dogs b/c they would not stay in her electric fence. She didn't blink and eye when she was told they would be killed immediately due to lack of space. Luckily we were there picking up another dog and we took these two. All dogs are fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, spayed/neutered and microchipped. See history, adoption process and an Application for Adoption at www.forgottenpaws.com.

Cooper is a 4 year old neutered male Fox Terrier Mix who is fully vetted, fully housebroken and crate trained. Due to a variety of circumstances Cooper needs a new home. He has been through basic obedience and is intelligent and responsive and LOVES people. He's a working dog without a job, in obedience he mostly followed directions just because he wanted to, he often had no interest in any kind of food reward! Because of his natural terrier traits, with all the fun and challenge that entails, he would do best in an only dog home. He also needs a fenced yard to stay safe. He'd make a great agility dog with someone who has the time.

Chow/Labrador Mix9 years oldHeartworm NegativeSpayed FemaleWeighs about 40 poundsFully Vaccinated & DewormedI have lived my entire life on a chain in a nasty, run down trailer park. My collar was so tight that I have scarring on my throat. When my guardian moved, he left me behind on the chain with no food and green, stagnant water. There was a large, tennis ball sized tumor hanging from my hip that was open and weeping, drawing flies in the stiffling summer heat. I am so friendly and outgoing though, you'd never know that I had such a sad existence for most of my life. I am in a loving foster home now, but I can't stay there too much longer. They are moving out of the country soon and I will need a forever home. I get along fine with most other dogs and older children. Please give me a chance so that I may be content for the last half of my life.

She loves to run and play in the yard or wrestle in the living room floor. She is always smiling. She listens well, comes when called and goes in her crate on command. She will need to be crated for a few more months until she gets out of her puppy stage. She is really good about not chewing but on occasion she forgets and I just give her a toy she can have. She will require a TALL fenced yard b/c she will climb a short one. If you have children, you need a fence, if you do not, active leash walking may be enough for her. as long as she gets lots of love! All dogs are fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, spayed/neutered and microchipped. See history, adoption process and an Application for Adoption at www.forgottenpaws.com.

BUDDY


  • BUDDY
  • young male
  • German Shepherd Dog (Mix)

Buddy is a 4.5-year-old medium-sized German Shephard mix, neutered and current on all shots. He's very friendly and loves to play, run, and take hikes. Buddy is fully house-trained, and used to being crated (very large crate) when in the house - because my husband is allergic to dogs, he transitioned (surprisingly easily) from being allowed the run of my apartment to staying in the crate during indoor periods when we got married. Dislikes include having his nails clipped (sensitive about front paws, I take him to PetSmart for baths etc) and puddles of water (but he loves baths). I would prefer that Buddy have a fenced yard to play in, as he does now. Buddy will make a fantastic pet/companion for a young and active adult, he loves to play and enjoys company and has a wonderful disposition :)

Bowie


  • Bowie
  • adult male
  • Boxer (Dachshund)

1 1/2yr, 35 lbs, Bowie is doing great! He is a sweet, smart, loving little guy with a wiggly butt and a zest for life. He loves absolutley everyone he meets and gets very attached to his person. At adoptions he doesn't show well b/c although he kisses everyone, if they try to walk him away from me, he pulls and drags them back. It is hard to express how he will do the same for his new family once he gets adopted! He has had a tough start, living outside on a carport and allowed to run free with little love or attention. However, he certainly thrives on it now. Bowie was hit by a car and left laying in his yard for 2 days. He has since had knee surgery and is going 90 miles a hour. He loves to romp and play with his doggie friends. He can get a little rough penning down the little ones but when they scream he lets them go and looks around to see if anyone's saw that it was his fault! Bowie loves to curl up in a ball and sleep on a soft dog bed or his favorite chair. He is the king of pitiful looks if you try to move him too. He will need joint supplements all of his life or food with Glucosamine in it just to help keep his knee strong and working smoothly but other then that, Bowie is 100\%. This dog is housebroken and crate trained. This dog gets on the furniture. All dogs are fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, spayed/neutered and microchipped. See history, more photos, adoption process and an application at www.forgottenpaws.com. Adoption fee is $125.

I am such a good girl that in just a few weeks, I have learned not to jump on my visitors, I never get on the furniture, I am housebroken, and, even though I have had every opportunity to get in the trash, I have not touched it at all. I was very afraid of the dark at first, but now, I am not bothered nearly as much. I just need to know someone is with me when it is dark, otherwise please leave the television and a light on for me. TheOlympics have been very exciting for me, and I may be sad when they are over. It would be wonderful if I had a playmate, and even better if it were my sister, Lilac. I love to play outside more than anything! *****Please remember, your adoption means a lifetime of love, good health care and commitment.***** Each pet deserves a forever home where they can thrive as healthy members of the family.
