We are NOT the shelter. No shelter is connected to our organization specifically, nor do any profit off of our organization (nor do we).

Non-profit dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals to decrease the euthanasia rate of high kill shelters by educating communities on spay&neuter, bringing awareness to animal cruelty, & raising money for basic medical needs We are a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals to decrease the euthanasia rate of high kill shelters by educating communities on spay & neuter, bringing awareness to animal cruelty, & raising money for basic medical needs for the animals we help. We are not a regular adoption organization rescue, we do not take in dogs to adopt out. We are more of a half-way home rescue, and pull dogs from local kill shelters to get them vetted and ready for their next step rescue where they will find an adoptive family. At times when we can we will help out owner surrenders to keep them out of the shelters as well. In the past we partnered with a southern kill shelter in a rural county area, but due to staff changes we are no longer able to help there. Some dogs would come in way more sick/injured then we could help, or they had some very serious behavior issues that couldn't be modified (or there’s no partner rescues who would be willing to step up to help). We would never take a chance with anyone’s safety (human or animal) and lie to get the dog out either, so we couldn't save everyone but we tried. We raised/collected pledges for partner rescues who pulled dogs through us, and donated the funds to the rescues once the dog leaves the shelter subtracting any fees we incurred. At times when we had a foster to take in a dog until a rescue was found we were happy since we could make more room at the shelter, since the shelter didn’t have an actual foster program. Sadly now that shelter's euthanasia rate will get higher since we are no longer able to help. Most of our partners wanted proper behavior assessments, which none of the staff at the shelter have the director of this organization's skill set or background in dog training. We were able to get out dogs that were seen by shelter staff to be aggressive or feral, since we knew what the actions truly that the dogs were showing usually due to fear. We are very honest, and transparent in everything we do. If you have any questions about ANYTHING please send us a message. We are always happy to answer, just give us time since we aren’t always available. We are all volunteers and do not get paid for anything we do for these dogs. You can check out our website for more information, and to find a foster form if you’re interested. www.theunforgottensouls.com

🚨🚨 URGENT: THREE DOGS. ONE MORE DAY. PLEASE HELP SAVE THEIR LIVES. 🚨🚨

Tomorrow, November 5th, Cody, Krane, and Finn are facing euthanasia at Bladen County Animal Shelter in Elizabethtown, NC. 💔

Three completely different dogs, three different stories, but all deserve the same thing: a chance to live.

🐾 MEET CODY
Approximately 3 years old, 50 lbs, German Shepherd mix.
Cody struggles in the stressful shelter environment, but he is willing to learn and deserves someone patient enough to give him a chance.

🐾 MEET KRANE
Approximately 5 years old.
Krane has been let down by people in the past. He needs medical attention for his skin issues, patience, and someone willing to show him what a loving home feels like.

🐾 MEET FINN
Approximately 2 years old, 55 lbs.
Finn is a sweet, happy boy who loves other dogs! He’s friendly, playful, loyal, and ready for his second chance.

💔 ALL THREE ARE ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST FOR TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 5TH.

We cannot let these boys run out of time.

We are desperately asking:
❤️ Rescues to step up.
❤️ Fosters to open their homes.
❤️ Adopters to consider saving a life.
❤️ Everyone else to SHARE this post.

Even if you cannot take one of these dogs home, sharing their faces could be what saves them.

TWO SWEET SOULS STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE!

Meet Lawrence and Fallon! These two precious pups have been waiting and waiting for someone to notice them, and we just can’t understand why they haven’t found their way out of the shelter yet.

Lawrence is an adorable 2-year-old boy with the sweetest smile! Just look at that happy face! He’s wonderful with other dogs and has so much love to give. He deserves to be someone’s best friend instead of spending his days waiting at the shelter.

Fallon is only 10 months old! She’s still just a baby with her whole life ahead of her. This sweet girl is also GREAT with other dogs and deserves the chance to grow up in a loving home, not behind shelter walls.

Both Lawrence and Fallon desperately need more attention from rescues and potential adopters. Pledges can make a huge difference in attracting rescue interest, and right now, these two need all the help they can get!

Please consider making a pledge for Lawrence or Fallon, even if it’s just a few dollars. Every pledge, every share, and every person who sees their sweet faces could help bring them one step closer to getting out of the shelter.

PLEASE don’t let these two continue to be overlooked! They have already spent too much time waiting for someone to choose them.

If you can’t pledge, PLEASE SHARE! You never know who might see their pictures and fall in love.

Let’s help Lawrence and Fallon finally get their happy endings!

💔 PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO WATCH DREA’S VIDEO. THIS SWEET GIRL NEEDS SOMEONE TO SEE HER! 💔

Poor Drea. 😢 Imagine having a home and a person you thought would always take care of you, only to be left behind because they decided to move.

That’s exactly what happened to this sweet girl. Drea’s owner moved and dumped her, and now she’s sitting in a shelter wondering what happened to the life she once knew.

Drea is only 3 years old and weighs 55 pounds. She absolutely loves people, but she’s nervous and scared in the shelter. Right now, she’s also afraid of other dogs, so she needs someone who will be patient with her and give her time to feel safe again.

PLEASE WATCH HER VIDEO. ❤️ Look at this precious girl. She didn’t ask to be abandoned. She didn’t do anything wrong. Her whole world was turned upside down, and now she’s waiting for someone to give her another chance.

It breaks our hearts knowing that Drea is sitting in a kennel when all she really wants is to feel loved and safe again. She deserves so much better than this.

We desperately need rescue interest or an adopter for Drea! Please don’t scroll past her. Even if you can’t take her home, sharing her video could put her in front of the one person or rescue who can change her life.

Drea has already been let down by someone she trusted. Let’s not let her down again. 🥺❤️

Elizabethtown, NC
📞 910-862-6918

PLEASE WATCH DREA’S VIDEO AND SHARE HER STORY! Somewhere out there is someone who will love this girl the way she deserves. We just need to help them find her. ❤️🐾

❤️ PLEASE WATCH PEAKY’S VIDEO! THIS HAPPY LITTLE GIRL NEEDS SOMEONE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER! 🐾

Y’all, meet Peaky! ❤️ This precious little girl is only 1 year old, weighs just 30 pounds, and has the sweetest, happiest personality!

Peaky is one of those dogs who just makes you smile. She’s easygoing, loves life, and gets along great with other dogs. She’s still just a baby with her whole life ahead of her, but instead of enjoying that life with a family, she’s sitting in a kennel at Bladen County Animal Shelter waiting for someone to notice her. 💔

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO WATCH HER VIDEO! Just look at this happy little sweetheart! Even in a shelter, Peaky still has that wonderful, cheerful spirit. Imagine how happy she would be in a home where she could run, play, curl up on a soft bed, and be loved every single day.

We don’t want Peaky to spend her puppy years growing up in a shelter. She deserves a family, a home, and someone who will love her as much as she will love them.

Peaky needs rescue interest or an adopter! Please help us get her seen. You never know who might be watching your page and looking for a sweet little dog just like her.

If you can’t adopt or rescue, PLEASE SHARE HER VIDEO! It only takes a moment, and that one share could be the reason Peaky finally gets to walk out of the shelter and into a loving home. ❤️

📍 Bladen County Animal Shelter
Elizabethtown, NC
📞 910-862-6918

Let’s get this happy little girl out of the shelter! Peaky is ready for her new beginning. She just needs someone to give her a chance! 🐾❤️

URGENT! BONO IS ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST TODAY! PLEASE DON’T LET HIS STORY END HERE!

Bono has no idea that his time is running out. 💔

This sweet boy is only 3 years old, weighs just 40 pounds, and is wonderful with other dogs. He has so much love to give and so much life left to live, but today he is facing the possibility of never getting that chance.

Bono doesn’t deserve to lose his life simply because he hasn’t found someone to give him a home. He deserves a soft bed, a family who loves him, other dogs to play with, and the chance to just be a happy dog.

PLEASE WATCH BONO’S VIDEO! Look at this sweet boy and help us find someone who can save him. Somewhere out there is a rescue or adopter who could be his miracle, but they may never see him unless we all help get his story out there.

We are begging everyone to SHARE BONO TODAY! One share could reach the person who can save his life. If you can adopt, rescue, or know someone who might be able to help, please don’t wait.

Bono is running out of time, and his life truly depends on someone stepping up for him TODAY. 💔🐾

🐾❤️ HAPPY ANIMAL SHELTER APPRECIATION WEEK! ❤️🐾

Today, we want to recognize the people who show up every single day for the animals who have nowhere else to turn.

To the shelter workers who clean the kennels, comfort frightened dogs, hold hands through difficult moments, celebrate adoptions, and carry home the heartbreak of the ones they couldn’t save.

To the volunteers who give their time, energy, and hearts.

To the foster families who open their homes, rearrange their lives, and give animals a safe place to land while they wait for their forever families.

And to the rescuers who keep saying YES, even when their hearts are already full and their resources are stretched thin.

WE SEE YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND WE THANK YOU.

At The Unforgotten Souls, we know that animal rescue is rarely glamorous. It’s exhausting, emotional, expensive, and sometimes heartbreaking. There are long days, sleepless nights, difficult decisions, and moments when the weight of it all feels overwhelming.

But there are also the moments that make it worth it.

The first time a terrified dog wags his tail. The first night a neglected animal sleeps safely in a warm bed. The transformation of a dog who finally learns to trust. The adoption photo that reminds us why we keep going.

Behind every happy ending is usually a whole team of people who refused to give up.

And sometimes, the greatest heroes are the ones whose names nobody knows.

To every shelter employee, volunteer, foster, transporter, veterinary team, and rescue advocate: thank you for being the difference between an animal being forgotten and an animal being given a future.

You may not be able to save them all, but because of you, so many get the chance they otherwise wouldn’t have.

From all of us at The Unforgotten Souls, thank you for being their voice, their safety net, and their second chance. ❤️🐾

*Extended Limited Time! These pups were grated an extension due to some adoptions and rescues that opened up a few spaces, but they are still endanger and need rescue or adoption quickly.

🚨💔 FIVE DOGS. FIVE LIVES. FIVE SECOND CHANCES WE ARE FIGHTING FOR. 💔🚨

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD IS THEIR DEADLINE.

We need everyone to stop scrolling for a minute and look at these five faces.

Cody. Krane. Mozza. Finn. Bono.

Five sweet boys with completely different stories, but the same heartbreaking reality. They are sitting in a shelter, and unless they secure rescue commitments or are adopted, they are at risk of euthanasia TOMORROW.

❤️ CODY is a young, smart, sweet boy who is new to the shelter. He just needs someone to believe in him and give him a chance.

💚 KRANE is a 5-year-old owner surrender who needs time, patience, and medical care for some skin issues. He’s stressed in the shelter and deserves so much better.

💙 MOZZA is just ONE YEAR OLD. This nervous little Lab mix is scared and still learning how to navigate the world around him. He needs patience, understanding, and someone willing to help him blossom. Please don’t overlook the shy ones.

💙 FINN is a gorgeous, blue-eyed 2-year-old, approximately 55 pounds. He’s friendly, playful, sweet, and loves other dogs. He’s ready for his second chance!

🧡 BONO is a sweet 3-year-old, approximately 40 pounds. He does well with other dogs and was an absolute gentleman during his bath! He’s also dealing with medical concerns and needs someone willing to give him the care he deserves.

FIVE BOYS. FIVE REASONS TO STEP UP.

We desperately need:
🐾 Rescue commitments
🐾 Foster homes
🐾 Adopters
🐾 Pledges to help attract rescues

Even a small pledge can make a difference. Even one share could connect one of these dogs with the person who saves his life.

Please tag every rescue you know. Tag friends who might be able to foster or adopt. Share this post beyond your own circle.

📍 Bladen County Animal Shelter
Elizabethtown, NC
📞 910-862-6918

THEIR DEADLINE IS TOMORROW, TUESDAY 11/03.

We cannot let these boys become just another list of names that people scroll past.

They are not disposable. They are not forgotten. They are lives worth fighting for.

❤️ PLEASE HELP US GET ALL FIVE OUT ALIVE. ❤️

Can you help us keep the shelter dogs fed? Bladen County Animal Shelter needs dog food, especially dry food. Canned food and other types of dog food are needed and appreciated, too.

These dogs depend on people they’ve never met to help care for them while they wait for a home. Sending a bag of food is a simple way to help, and it takes some of the worry off the people caring for them every day.

You can order through Chewy, Amazon, or another retailer and have it shipped directly to:

Bladen County Animal Shelter
506 Smith Circle
Elizabethtown, NC 28337
910-862-6918

If you’re able to send something, thank you. If you can’t donate right now, please share this post so someone else may see it and help.

Thank you for always showing up for these dogs.

Meet sweet Zora! Just look at that adorable face and those beautiful markings! How could anyone not fall in love with her?

Zora is only 2 years old, and she is such a sweet, laid-back girl. She does great with other dogs and has such a gentle personality. She isn’t asking for much, just a chance to get out of the shelter and find a family who will love her.

We would really love to see this beautiful girl get the attention she deserves. Zora needs pledges and shares to help attract rescue interest or, even better, someone who wants to give her a forever home.

Please don’t let Zora get overlooked. There are so many dogs needing help, and sometimes all it takes is the right person seeing a post to change a dog’s entire life.

Can we please get some pledges and shares going for Zora? Every pledge helps encourage rescues to take notice, and every share gives her another chance to be seen.

Please help us find this sweet girl a way out of the shelter and into a loving home!

**Extended Euth Date Tuesday 11/3/26!

🚨🧡 BONO HAS UNTIL MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND! 🧡🚨

Meet Bono! This sweet 3-year-old boy is approximately 40 pounds and desperately needs someone to give him a chance.

Bono came into the shelter in very bloated condition. Thankfully, that has improved, but he is also experiencing a cough that may be related to heartworm disease. He needs someone willing to get him the medical attention and care he deserves.

And here’s another reason to love this boy: Bono was an absolute gentleman during his bath! He was so good, cooperative, and sweet while being cleaned up. Even in the middle of all the uncertainty, his wonderful personality shines through. ❤️

🧡 3 years old
🧡 Approximately 40 lbs
🧡 Very sweet personality
🧡 Does well with other dogs
🧡 Wonderful for his bath!
🧡 Came into the shelter severely bloated (improved)
🧡 Suspected heartworm disease due to cough
🧡 Needs a rescue commitment or pledges IMMEDIATELY

Bono has already been through enough. He deserves a chance to get healthy, feel safe, and finally have a family of his own.

But time is running out.

Unless Bono can secure a rescue commitment or be adopted, he is at risk of euthanasia on MONDAY. 💔

We urgently need a rescue willing to step up, a foster willing to open their home, or an adopter ready to give this boy his second chance. Pledges can also help make a rescue commitment possible.

📍 Bladen County Animal Shelter
Elizabethtown, NC
📞 910-862-6918

❤️ PLEASE SHARE!
❤️ TAG RESCUES!
❤️ TAG POTENTIAL FOSTERS!
❤️ PLEDGE IF YOU CAN!

You don’t have to be the person who adopts Bono to help save him. You could be the person who shares his face with the person who does.

Four boys are counting on us. Please don’t let Bono’s story end here. 🧡
