The Unforgotten Souls

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

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

💔 AUGGIE IS HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME AT THE SHELTER

Poor Auggie just isn’t himself here. He’s only 2–3 years old, but the noise and stress of shelter life have really gotten to him. He’s nervous, sad and starting to shut down. You can see it in his little face.

The good news is Auggie does well with other dogs, and we truly believe getting him out of the shelter and somewhere he can finally relax could make all the difference for him.

We need to get this boy seen. Please share Auggie and pledge if you can to help us attract a rescue or adopter. Somewhere out there is a home where he can feel safe and happy again — we just have to find it. ❤️

🐾 Please share Auggie. He needs someone to give him a chance outside these shelter walls.

🚨 FINAL EXTENSION — ROCKY, STORM & PETEY HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY 9/4 AT 8:30 AM 🚨

Tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM, time runs out for Rocky, Storm and Petey. 💔 They desperately need shares, pledges, rescue interest or an adopter before it’s too late.

If you can RESCUE OR ADOPT one of these dogs, please call the shelter BEFORE 8:30 AM. If no one answers, LEAVE A MESSAGE so they know someone is coming for them.

🐾 ROCKY is such a sweet boy. He may be a little shy when he first meets you, but give him a moment and he warms right up. He’s just waiting for someone to give him a chance.

🐾 STORM is a sweetheart of a Shepherd mix who has completely started coming out of her shell. She’s no longer the shy girl we first met and is showing everyone just how sweet she really is.

🐾 PETEY is a gentle soul who simply needs someone to see him and say, “I’ll save you.”

The heartbreaking part is that they don’t know they’re on a list. They only know they’re sitting in their kennels waiting. 😢

PLEASE SHARE AND PLEDGE. Even if you can’t adopt, your share could put one of these faces in front of the person who can. Your pledge could give a rescue the help they need to say YES.

🚨 SHERMAN HAS RESCUE INTEREST — NOW HE NEEDS OUR HELP! 🐾❤️

Sherman has something so many shelter dogs are desperately waiting for… a rescue interested in saving him. Now we just need to help make sure he gets that chance.

This sweet boy is only 1 year old. He’s a little shy right now, and honestly, who could blame him? The shelter can be a scary, overwhelming place, especially for a young dog who doesn’t understand why he’s there.

Sherman is dog friendly and just needs someone to give him the time and love to come out of his shell. ❤️

His rescue interest is there, but pledges are needed to help cover the expenses of getting him out of the shelter and into rescue. This is where all of us can make a difference.

Even a small pledge adds up when enough people come together. If you can’t pledge, please SHARE Sherman. Every share helps us reach someone who may be able to help.

🐾 Please pledge for Sherman and help us secure his rescue.
He’s only a year old. Let’s get this sweet boy out of the shelter and on his way to the life he deserves.

Poor Petey has been at the shelter only a few weeks, and now will likely be euthanized in the morning due to overcrowding and having a bad start to life. He's at least 5yrs old, with a body that tells a story. Came in very underweight (40lbs), with scaring all over from clear tethering most (if not all) of his life. He, and all of them, deserve so much better. We cannot help dogs like him without more fosters, and adoptions. At this time, we have dogs in boarding on top of in full foster homes so we cannot take him on. If you can adopt, please call the shelter immediately. Tonight is his last night!

***Who will Stand UP for him?***

Poor Rocky! He doesn't want to fight, he just wants some love. He's around 3yrs old, 60lbs, and does great with other dogs. He can be a little shy at first with people, but I'd really prefer that than a dog all jumping all over me in my face. He's not had a great start, but he deserves so much better. Can you please help us help him?? Share, comment, interact with this post to get him seen and save his soul!! He deserves a chance! See comments for main post with more info.!

*********LAST CALL**********
Sweet storm loved fast food, and it's about to kill her. She was sent to the shelter due to not doing well with chickens, and not being kept contained. She is a sweet, rather laid-back girl who has done very well with other dogs at the shelter. Her thick "foxy" coat is so different looking. She really deserves a chance at love. Please share comment, and react to get her seen, and her soul safe!! She's around 3yrs old, and 55lbs. She's a Shepherd mix, but not enough Shepherd for a rescue to want her enough unfortunately. No one has room due to no adoptions or fosters!! If everyone could step up in some capacity, these souls deserve it! See comments for main post with more info.!

🚨 SMOKEY IS STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CHOOSE HIM ❤️🐾

If you’ve met Smokey, you know this boy is just HAPPY. He’s 2 years old, full of personality, and absolutely loves everyone he meets — humans and furry friends included!

Smokey is the kind of dog who looks at you like you’re already his best friend. He’s sweet, social, dog friendly and has plenty of love to give. ❤️

Now he just needs someone to give all that love to.

We really want to get Smokey out of the shelter and into a home or rescue. Please share him and consider pledging to help attract rescue interest. The more people who see his face, the better his chances of finding his person.

📞 910-862-6918

🐾 Please share Smokey! This happy guy is ready to love somebody — he just needs somebody to find him. ❤️

🚨 RYAN IS ON THE EUTH LIST FOR WEDNESDAY 9/2 🚨

Please watch Ryan’s video and help us get this poor guy seen. He really needs someone to come through for him.

Ryan is 5 years old and it’s pretty obvious that life hasn’t been very good to him. He’s been neglected and deserves so much better than what he’s had. And after everything, he is still a sweet boy who gets along with other dogs. ❤️

Ryan doesn’t need much. He just needs someone willing to give him a chance.

Right now we have very little time to find that person. Ryan is on the euth list for Wednesday 9/2 and we desperately need rescue interest or an adopter for him.

Please share his video even if you can’t personally help. Share it to your page, send it to friends, tag rescues — anything that might get Ryan in front of the right person.

There has to be someone out there for this guy. We just have to find them in time. 💔

📞 910-862-6918

Please share Ryan. He’s already had a rough life. We don’t want his story to end at the shelter. 🐾❤️
