Dear Friends, Adopters, Volunteers, Fosters, and Supporters of The Forgotten Dog Foundation,
We hope that you and your loved ones are doing well and that 2021 has been a better year for you, even though we are still amidst a global pandemic.
This has been a challenging year for us in rescue, with fewer dogs finding homes and shelters filling up due to the return of many dogs that were adopted in 2020.
Despite the slow-down in placement, we helped many shelter, owner-relinquished, and stray dogs this year, and are pleased to say that we found wonderful forever homes for most of these pups. The remaining dogs we hope to place soon, but all are currently in loving foster homes.
Our biggest expense for our rescue dogs is medical. This year was no exception. Our vet bills exceeded $60,000. We pride ourselves on taking in older and special needs dogs that are often very costly. One of our other significant expenses this year was our rescued big dogs. Unfortunately, larger breed dogs are harder to place in Southern California, and these dogs are with us sometimes for an extensive period. We spent approximately $40,000 for cage-free boarding and training for them.
We are delighted to share some of the happy adoptions of our dogs from this year. We have also included four amazing dog transformations from 2021.
With your kind and generous support, we can continue to rescue more dogs in 2022. All donations are tax-deductible. We hope these uplifting success stories bring some light to your holidays.
Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy, joyous, and safe holiday season and a Happy New Year.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Linzi, Gina, and The Forgotten Dog Team
A 501(c)3 non-profit organization
