ABOUT THE FOUNDER
My style of rescue is a little different than most. I never wanted to start my own rescue—I did not want to deal with the bureaucracy that is usually associated with the industry. To this day, I do what I can for the dogs. I am often asked why, of all the dog breeds, I chose to rescue Pit Bulls. The answer is simple. Nobody steps up for Pit Bulls…not even dog lovers. I chose a br

eed that I felt needed the most help. Most people, including dog lovers, avoid Pit Bulls. These dogs have such negative stigmas attached to them. I want to help open people’s eyes to the truth. The dogs deserve it. The Pit Bull over population problem is out of control. I get hundreds of emails everyday of Pit Bulls in need of forever homes—from 2 week old puppies, to senior dogs, to those who were found abused or neglected. For me, the challenge doesn’t lie in rescuing, rehabilitating, and vetting these dogs. The problem I face is where to place the dogs once they are well enough to go to their forever homes? In my experience, mostly the wrong people are lining up to adopt Pit Bulls. Those who offer proper homes and who love the breed already have multiple dogs—many of these families have adopted 2 or 3 Pit Bulls from me already. I do not believe that everyone should have a Pit Bull. In my opinion too many people shouldn’t have any dog at all, let alone a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls require a certain type of owner. And unfortunately, those owners are far and few between...

But with your help, we can start to spread the word about these wonderful companion animals and remove the unfair stigmas they have received. If more people give these dogs a second chance, we can make a huge impact and save lives in the process. It starts with education. Spay and Neuter. Spread the word about the wonderful characteristics that make the Pit Bull a wonderful companion animal. Let’s keep the dogs out of the shelters. I believe the stats today are that 1 out of every 800 Pit Bulls makes it out of the pound alive. We need to reduce these numbers. Encourage everyone you know to rescue their next dog. OUR SUPPORTERS
I would like to thank everyone who has helped Friends To The Forlorn Pitbull Rescue Inc. Whether you pass along an email, donate items or $$$, foster a dog, visit a dog at the vet, or post a comment letting me know you appreciate what I do, your support has made a difference. HOW YOU CAN HELP
Abandoned. Neglected. At Friends to the Forlorn, we have seen it all. But despite the misfortunes Pit Bulls have endured, our commitment to them remains steadfastly clear: to provide save, loving, nurturing forever homes for these dogs in need. Through no fault of their own, our dogs found themselves in homeless situations. We are dedicated to making a positive difference in these dogs’ lives from the moment they enter program. Our goal is to help these animals in every way we can...emotionally, socially, physically…so that the transition onto their forever homes will be as smooth as possible. We strive to teach our dogs basic obedience and socialization skills, including proper leash manners and friendly house manners. We have dozens of Pit Bulls waiting for a forever family, we thank you for your interest in improving the lives of this deserving breed.

Unfortunately , dumping animals on the street has become a very popular trend . Dangerous for the animals , dangerous for the community. The heat alone is enough to kill the animals. Let’s not forget about traffic accidents, hit by cars and bites to people .
Last night I received a call from a very nice retired couple . They had a pitbull with an injured rear leg show up at their house a few days ago . They have been feeding and watering the dog , but the dog would run off when they approached . This couple rescued another pitbull a few years ago after it was dumped in their neighborhood and ended up keeping her . They were concerned because another stray was found dead on the edge of the woods and they believe someone poisoned the dog . They asked if I could come and help trap the dog and they would consider trying to adopt if the dog and their dog got along . I went out last night and by 11 pm, I had the dog in the trap . The dog was not chipped .
Thanks to our great relationship , with Douglas county animal services , their officer met me at midnight to intake the dog. He will see the vet this am and get what he needs . Hopefully he’s a good fit for this family .. stop dumping your dogs .

It’s $2.00 Tuesday .. don’t pass this post over without donating .. it’s $2.00
Sign up for a recurring donation today . If you can’t , just drop a one time donation.. rising costs are making it so much harder to rescue . We need you

It's $2.00 Tuesday! This is where we ask you to donate just $2.00 towards our rescue efforts. We have built Friends to the Forlorn Pitbull Rescue on Integrity, Compassion, Commitment and Love for all animals...but we run on donations.

Two dollars. That is all it takes to help us make a difference. That is less than a cup of coffee. Two dollars a week can help save lives.

We have accomplished a lot. We need to do more. We can not grow without your help. Please consider donating just $2.00 each week. It doesn't seem like much, but it really does add up. If just half the people who like our page liked our work enough to commit to a weekly donation of just $2.00, we could get a lot more accomplished. 5000 people @ $2.00 each week = $40,000.00 every month. That would not only cover our expenses but also allow us to save more dogs. We can only help as many as our resources allow. We have made it really easy for you. We now have recurring donations set up on our website. You sign up, forget it and it's a done deal. It will be the best $2.00 you spend. We hope you'll consider signing up today.

We appreciate your support. Thanks for believing in what we do at at FTTF.

Animal welfare is in crisis. There are more animals in need now that we have ever seen before. Animal control facilities are running out of space and being forced to close intake. Rescues don't have enough foster homes or open kennels.

Today is $2 Tuesday. That means you have a chance to help us make a difference with just a couple bucks. How is that possible?

Your $2 helps pay for food and preventative. It goes toward annual vaccinations and tests. It allows us to purchase much needed crates, toys, beds, and other supplies. Only $2 may not seem like much, but together it can turn into so much more. If just half of our followers commit signing up for $2 Tuesday, we would be able to raise over $60,000 a week to help save more lives and keep FTTF going.

Emergency.. $1100.00 needed

was contacted today from a friend . her coworkers dog went to Er last night and was told the dog had a pyometra (Pyometra is a serious and potentially life-threatening uterine infection in female, unspayed dogs that causes the uterus to fill with pus and bacteria. It's a common reproductive disease that often starts with mild symptoms, but if left untreated, it can become fatal) . The ER quoted him a minimum of $3500.00 to save his dog . He could not afford that . friends to the forlorn stepped in and had Dr Leathers at Kay Animal Hospital do the life saving surgery for just over $1000.00
The dog made it out of surgery just fine and went home with the owner .
rising costs are making it impossible for people to care for their pets .
Please consider helping us cover the cost for saving her life . Thank you
