Who We Are

Forgotten Paws is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue based in Houston, Texas. We are dedicated to giving dogs a second chance by rescuing those in need, providing veterinary care, rehabilitation, and a safe place to land while we work to find them loving forever homes.

Our Mission

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving forever homes for dogs who have been abandoned, surrendered, neglected, or placed at risk in overcrowded shelters. We believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and valued, and we are committed to giving them the opportunity to experience exactly that.

What We Do

From the moment a dog enters our care, our goal is to give them everything they need to move forward. We provide veterinary care, vaccinations, preventatives, spay or neuter services, and any additional medicare care they may need. Our foster homes give them a safe place to decompress while we learn their personalities and find the right forever homes.

• Rescue dogs in need
• Provide necessary veterinary care
