As a non-profit, volunteer group, we depend on the kindness and generosity of others to help us save as many dogs and cats as possible. The expenses related to rescue, foster care, veterinary care and placement far exceed the amount of money raised through adoption donations. We're experiencing increased operating costs (we pay for monthly expenses such as: phone, postage, printed materials, and numerous other administrative costs) in addition to the rising costs of providing for our special-needs dogs and cats. We're so proud of the work we have done so far...we need your help to do more.

• Make a tax deductible cash donation. $10.00 pays for a shot; $25 pays for a microchip, $50 pays for a spay/neuter, $200 will cover all our expenses for the average rescued pet.
• See if your company has a matching-fund program or year-end giving program.
• When you purchase a new bag of dog or cat food for your own pet, how about also purchasing a gift certificate for a free bag of food for a Forgotten 4-Paws friend?
• Make an annual contribution to The Willow Fund for rescue dogs or cats who require(d) special veterinary care or surgery.
• Get your kids involved with a creative fundraising project to benefit Forgotten 4-Paws.
• Attend or contribute to our special events, including the annual Flea Market, bake sales, etc. Check out our Events Calendar for upcoming events.

• Digital cameras for getting photos of the available pets on the Web site.
• Land to use for fundraising and "Dog Park" activities. Our dream it to one day build a sanctuary so all our Forgotten Friends will always have a place to call home.
• Grooming or training services to help ready our pets for adoption.
• If you own or manage a business, consider a Forgotten 4-Paws advertising sponsorship. You can sponsor "Pet of the Week" display ads or help us offset the cost of our classified ad program. Contact us for more information.

The Willow Fund is for special dogs and cats with special needs. At Forgotten 4-Paws we are truly committed to our Forgotten Friends. Far too often, this means managing the unexpected health issues or extended boarding that's required for some pets before they can be placed in permanent homes. What's also unexpected is the cost of this extra care, which is not covered by an individual dog or cats' adoption fees. As a result, Forgotten 4-Paws established "The Willow Fund." The fund is named for Willow, a wonderful hound mix who was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Southern Ohio. She was a remarkable testament to the courage and devotion our Forgotten Friends possess. After several months of veterinary care and recuperation in a foster home, Willow was placed in a permanent loving home. Your contribution to The Willow Fund will go a long way to help other deserving dogs and cats find their way home.
