Forgotten Dogs Rescue

Forgotten Dogs Rescue Forgotten Dogs Rescue is a foster based nonprofit rescuing homeless dogs in Washington State.

Forgotten Dogs is a foster home based rescue organization located in the Tri-Cities and Seattle areas of Washington State. While Forgotten Dogs will take in any breed, we primarily rescue Pit Bull type dogs and mixes and other bully breeds. We focus on rescuing dogs from shelters, especially in Eastern Washington. ​

We save the dogs that need help the most, the dogs whose time has run out, the d

ogs who have lost all hope—the forgotten dogs. Our Commitment
Once a dog enters the Forgotten Dogs Rescue program, we are committed to it for life. Our dogs live in private foster homes where they receive love, training, and learn to be members of the family. They receive all necessary medical care, and if they come to us with behavioral issues, we invest in training. We are committed to do whatever is necessary to help them become adoptable and find them amazing forever homes. And if at any point an adoption doesn’t work out, we will always welcome the dog back into our program. We make a promise to all of our dogs that they will never again be forgotten.

Hello gorgeous! 👀 Denis Leary is workin' it! This little squishy nugget continues to defy the odds and is living his best life!
🐾
Denis has multiple heart issues that are severe and untreatable so he is one of our sanctuary pups. ❤ He will be with us for as long as he is healthy and happy! We are, of course, working closely with his team of cardiologists and medical team to keep him healthy and so far, so good! He has shown some slight improvement with some medication changes recently and is able to go for some wonderful sniff and strolls. Life your best life, Denis! We❤you, forever!

Our Halloween Litter puppies are settling into their foster homes! Before coming to us, they had limited socialization and exposure, so their fosters are helping them adjust to indoor living, basic handling, and discovering all the joys of a happy life. Huge thanks to our wonderful foster families! And, thank you to everyone who donated to name the pups!
🎃👻
We will keep everyone updated when the pups are ready to start searching for their forever homes!

Tinsley’s favorite position is being splayed out on her back. What a goof! A very comfortable goof! 😂
🐶
Tinsley has so much love to give and is looking for a family to call her own! She has come a long way in her time with us and she will make someone the best companion they could ask for! This clever girl is as smart as they come and lives for treats and praise. Give her a job, and she'll be your most devoted sidekick! Learning new tricks is her jam, and she's a quick study. Scent work and agility courses? Count her in! She can’t wait to find her forever home!

Aren’t ready to adopt? Tinsley is also looking for a new foster home!

Surprise, surprise! We got DNA results for Sage from our Herb Litter, and wow—who would have guessed? Sage turned out to be 55% pittie and only 2% dachshund! We sure didn’t see that coming! And, what a unique mix of breeds!
🐶
While Sage has already found his forever home (yay!), his littermates Oregano, Thyme, and Rosemary are still waiting for theirs. If you’re interested in adopting one of these adorable pups, check out their adoption info in their album description or click the link in our profile under “All Available Dogs.” They’re waiting for you!

Juniper! Our little BIG dog! Check out her breed mix! 👀 What do you think about this mix?
🐾
Juniper is still healing from her broken leg. She has a bit of a reprieve from the dreaded cone as we figure out next steps but, there is a chance she will need another surgery and we will be talking to her surgery team at WSU Vet Hospital this week. Oof. In the meantime, she is hanging with her BFF, Alpine, and loving life! She is such a peach of a pup!

Kona has recently discovered that ball is life! This precious, frosted-faced girl is searching for her forever home. If you’re looking to provide a cozy, quiet space for a senior pup to call her own, Kona just might be the perfect fit!
🐶
Kona has impeccable house manners, is respectful of furniture, and loves to curl up in her bed for a cozy snooze. She’s got low maintenance, easy-going vibes, and enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Kona is a shepherd mix and almost 10 years old, but don’t let her age fool you–she’s still young at heart and can’t wait to show off her zoomies while playing with her favorite ball.

Same, buddy, same. 😢 Our sweet Rufio ended up in the hospital on Wednesday where they discovered he had a stomach ulcer that had perforated his GI, he was septic and, unfortunately, he required emergency surgery on Thursday. He’s still in the hospital and stable but he isn’t eating yet and he has developed pneumonia so it is still day by day for him. Of course, he is getting everything he needs at Veterinary Specialty Center of Seattle and we sure hope he feels better today and can come home soon.
🐶
His foster went to visit him yesterday and he saw some good tail wags, which was encouraging. But, we want him eating and home!
❤️
We have had some expensive vet bills lately and we could use your help! We took in Smudge, with the broken legs, Bosworth, who needed a CT scan and a big dental, and now Rufio. We are so glad we can help these pups but, we need YOU! If you would like to contribute to Smudge, Bosworth and Rufio you can do so directly through Facebook or via the links in our profile to:

One of Ferdinand's most favorite places to walk is the cemetery! 👻 Ferdi is dog reactive on walks and, while we are working on that with him with lots of chicken, the cemetery is so quiet and calm and the grass is awesome! He loves it!
🐶
Ferdinand is adorable and adoptable! Ferdie is 4 years old and he weighs a bit over 50 pounds. If you're ready for a loyal cuddle buddy, a constant source of laughter, and a playmate that'll be up for zoomies at any time, Ferdinand could be for you! He can't wait to meet his family and start a lifetime of adventures together!

**All of the puppies have been named! Thank you!!**

🎃 Officially Introducing the Halloween Litter! 🎃
👻
A few days ago, we posted about these seven adorable pups in need of foster homes, and we’re thrilled to share that they are currently on their way to waiting foster families! However, we still need two more fosters in the Tri-Cities or greater Seattle area so the pups can be separated and receive individual attention and socialization. These 4.5-month-old pittie mixes are full of personality, and as a foster, you’ll receive everything you need to care for them, including food, supplies, vet care, and training support. If you’d like to help one of these sweet pups, please DM us or send us an email to [email protected].
👻
🎃 *The Halloween Litter Needs Names!* 🎃
For a $50 donation, you can be the one to name one of these adorable puppies! Since they’re part of our Halloween Litter, we’re looking for creative, Halloween-themed names—just no “Casper,” as we already have one in rescue. We can’t wait to see the fun names you come up with!
🎃
This post includes photos of all seven pups—2 males and 5 females. If you would like to name one of them, *comment on the picture of the pup you want to name with your chosen name*, then you can send the $50 donation through venmo (forgottendogsrescue) or through Facebook (please message us the receipt if you donate through Facebook:).
👻
Puppy #1, male. **Named Boogey by Debra Taylor Gania**
Puppy #2, male. **Named Binx by Michelle Caldwell**
Puppy #3, female. **Named Lydia Deetz by Juli Goodrich**
Puppy #4, female. **Named Wednesday by Bobbie Laughlin Martin**
Puppy #5, female. **Named Buffy by Rachel Phinney**
Puppy #6, female. **Named Goblette by Crystal Ring**
Puppy #7, female. **Named Georgie by Crystal Ring**
🎃
We remind everyone, please do not comment on a photo with a name unless you are donating to name that puppy. Proceeds from the naming fundraiser goes towards the care of the dogs in our rescue.
🎃
Let the naming begin!

Our littlest pupper, Smudge, is home and healing up from his surgery to repair his broken legs. Hooray!! The surgery was successful and now he just needs to relax and let his bones heal. He is due for weekly bandage changes over the next few weeks and some follow up X-rays to see how things are going. So far, so good!!
🐶
Thank you everyone who had donated to Smudge’s care so far! We’ve had some HUGE medical bills this week so we could use all the help you can spare! One of our other pups needed emergency surgery yesterday and will likely need to be in the hospital for a few days. Poor kiddos! Glad we could help them but we need YOU!!

Maggie is also looking for a new foster (foster to adopt, maybe, hmmm?). Give us a shout via DM if you are interested in fostering! We supply all food, equipment and vet care. You supply the LOVE!
🐶
Maggie has a condition called cerebellar abiotrophy which affects her balance so she is a bit wobbly on her feet so a spot without a lot of stairs would be best for her. She is full of joy and ready to take her spot on the couch (and your heart)!

Good morning from Billy Bob! If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet, and beautiful wigglebutt to be your best friend, look no further because Billy Bob is searching for his forever home! 🐾❤️
🐶
Billy Bob's favorite activities include napping, snuggling, and getting ear and neck rubs. He’s all about the cozy life, often found snuggled under blankets or snoozing upside down with a big smile on his face. But don’t let his relaxed demeanor fool you—Billy Bob is also an extraordinary adventure buddy! His foster describes him as an agile panther in a dog suit, loving to run like the wind and jump like a gazelle.
🏠
In the house, Billy Bob is a well-mannered gentleman. Whether you're gone for five minutes or three hours, he'll greet you with the most joyful wiggle you’ve ever seen! His welcome home wiggle will make your day!
🐶
We estimate Billy Bob to be around 5 years old and he weighs about 70 lbs. He’s a pit bull type dog with all the love, snuggles, and companionship you could ask for! Give him a look!

Say hello to Smudge! This tiny 10 week old pup came to us after we were contacted by that he needed our help. Smudge came to us with two broken front legs, ouch! Luckily, our friends at could get him in right away so we brought him to them yesterday and, after getting bloodwork and x-rays, he had surgery today and is doing great!
❤️
We expect him to be able to come home later this week and we can’t wait to get to know this little guy more. We know he is a super snuggler, that is for sure, preferring to live in everyone’s lap! We have heard people think he is either a Pomeranian or a long haired Chihuahua, what do you think? He is about 10 pounds! So little!
🐶
Of course, we could use your help to cover his medical expenses. 💰 If you would like to contribute to Smudge, you can do so directly via Facebook or through the links in our profile to:

Officially introducing Bosworth! This charming boy was found abandoned in Eastern WA, and we first shared his story while looking for a foster home. But as we were searching, Bosworth developed a sudden head tilt and became unsteady on his feet. We jumped into action, getting him to our primary vet and luckily securing a safe spot for him to stay. It turns out Bosworth is a senior gentleman, around 10 years old. Despite the head tilt and some dental issues, he was found to be in pretty good health overall!
💙
After a thorough assessment and CT scan by the neurology team at Veterinary Specialty Center of Seattle, it was confirmed that Bosworth likely has idiopathic geriatric vestibular syndrome. This means there’s no clear cause for his symptoms, and while the head tilt might improve with time, it may also stay with him as part of his charm. The good news? There’s nothing more serious going on!
🐾
Unfortunately, Bosworth does need significant dental work due to dental disease and broken teeth. The CT scan even showed changes to his jaw from the dental issues! 😢 But don’t worry—we’re getting that taken care of right away so he can feel his best!
💙
This sweet boy steals hearts everywhere he goes. He loves snuggling in laps, giving kisses, and making friends with other dogs!
🐾
Bosworth’s medical care has been costly, and we could use your help! If you’re able to, please consider donating to support Bosworth’s dental surgery and ongoing medical care. Every little bit helps give him the healthy, happy life he deserves!

**FOSTER NEEDED**
Our sweet and spunky Tazzy needs a new foster home! She has a neurological condition that causes seizures and they are currently controlled with medications. She does well with other dogs and loves to play. She’ll need a tolerant companion as her medical condition causes her to be in less control of her movements and behaviors. Tazzy loves going on walks and adventures and is a sweet, confident pup!
🐶
If you can help Tazzy, or are interested in learning more about her, please DM us or send an email to [email protected]. When you foster for Forgotten Dogs, we supply all food, equipment, training support, and vet care.

Can’t foster? Please share Tazzy so she can find a comfy place to land!
