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.

Cuatro 8306- 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. Cuatros 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.

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.

BLAKE- young male
- Pit Bull Terrier (Mix)
Blake is a darling little (45lbs) rusty-red Pit Bull mix puppy (approx. 9 mos 1 yr).

Blake was extremely thin, had hair-loss here and there, and was very shy, but ever-so sweet! It took weeks and weeks to get enough weight on him to have him neutered. Now he has become a REAL dog! He loves his safety, his other dog buddies and loves his foster mom. He is crate-trained, vaccinated, heartworm-free, neutered and microchipped. He will make someone very happy!

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.
