Story
Meet OJ, the sweetest cuddler that ever lived. He will steal your heart (and your sofa) with one look. His birthday is March 26, 2019. He was my sister’s baby first, but sadly she passed away and OJ has been with me ever since. I want nothing more than to give this big baby the best home. It breaks my heart to part with him, but he doesn’t get along with one of my dogs. He gets along with some dogs and not others and so I feel that he would thrive in a home as an only pet. He should not be in a home with cats. He is excellent with kids. My toddlers climb all over him and love on him. He just wants all the pets and rubs. He’s very patient and docile with kids. OJ’s favorite things are all things food, chew toys, comfy beds and blankets, cuddles, belly rubs and scratches, whipped cream (he comes running when he hears the can), and time outside catching a frisbee or going for walks. If you are looking for a companion and a best friend, you found his profile.

Story
June  is a delightful girl  who is i ncredibly relaxed and do not need much activity. Sh e is exceptionally sweet and easygoing. June  and her “brother” Jabba   h a ve faced a series of unfortunate events. After the passing of their owner, the family made the difficult decision to surrender them with the intent of euthanasia. We believed we had found them a forever home, but now they need to relocate once more. Our hope is to find them a stable and loving forever home where they can enjoy their golden years either together or separately.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 29, 2025, 1:20 pm

Story
Friends to the Forlorn Adopt-a-BullName: Fig Breed: Pitbull Terrier Sex: Female Approx. DOB: 10/27/2019 Weight: 50 lbs Location: Powder Springs, Ga RESCUING FIG Fig was originally found as a stray in Rockmart. Clearly emaciated and in need of medical care and love, she needed help. Animal control was completely full but allowed the finder to keep her during the stray hold. The kind lady who found her had recently taken in another stray dog who needed help as well, so she wasn't in a position to keep Fig but was determined to make sure she was safe. Thankfully, after learning about Fig, we had a foster step up and she got her Freedom Ride on 10/26/2023. Despite her condition, she was sweet as can be and ready to get the love and care she deserves. ABOUT FIG Fig is a gorgeous and funny girl, so full of life now that she has gained weight and is feeling better! During her intake exam, we learned Fig was heartworm positive, so she had to take it easy while going through heartworm treatment. She completed treatment in 2024 and shouldn't have any lasting effects or damage. Fig is crate trained and housebroken, sometimes choosing to go into her crate on her own for naps. She loves to play with her two foster brothers, but sometimes doesn't understand the cues when another dog isn't in the mood, so her foster and our trainers are helping Fig learn "how to dog" politely so she can have fun with new dog friends.  Fig is solar-powered, she loves to be in the sun! If it’s too hot to be outside, she’ll find a sunny spot by the window to relax. She has learned how to walk nicely on a leash as well as commands like "sit", “down”, "wait", "crate", “shake”, “leave it”, and even "spin". Fig is very food-motivated, which makes her a good student but can also be stubborn when distracted. She is very patient when it comes to nail trims, ear cleanings, and baths. Her favorite things are playing in the yard, playing with chew toys, swimming, and going for walks! She's a very sweet girl who makes cute grunts when excited. She does have goofy puppy energy sometimes but also loves cuddling up on the bed or the couch. ADOPTING FIG Fig's foster says "Fig's perfect family would be people that have experience with dogs and that like to be outside. With proper training, I think she would be a good sister to another dog and likely would be good with older kids. She's a sweet girl that acts younger than she is. I don't think she had a lot of human contact or teaching previously, so we’ve been working on how to be the goodest girl! She learns pretty quickly and will do anything for some yummy snacks." Fig is up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. She is on monthly preventative and eating premium grain-free dry dog food. Her adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in meeting Fig or possibly adopting her, please complete an adoption application at:  https://www.friendstotheforlorn.org/adoption-application.  If you have any questions, please email us at adopt@friendstotheforlorn.org.www.savingpitbulls.orgJuly 25, 2025, 8:21 pm

Story
Friends to the Forlorn Adopt-a-BullBreed: Pit Bull Terrier Gender: Male Estimated Date of Birth: August 16, 2016 Size:  45 lbs Location:  Dallas, GA ABOUT CHIPPER Chipper is 7 years old and he is such a cool dog and absolutely beautiful!  Chipper is a super smart and happy boy.  He is medium energy, loves a good zoomie in the yard and loves a good couch snuggle fest. His perfect home would be with a family that is pitbull savvy and has a 6ft privacy fenced yard and also leash walks as Chipper enjoys getting out and about. Chipper would do best as an only dog. Chipper has been tested with children and has done fantastic with children ages 10+.  The kids were able to play with him, walk him, hang out inside playing and enjoy time on the swingset together.  Chipper listens well and falls into a structured routine quickly.  Chipper does not do well with cats.  He walks well on a leash and once he gets into a routine should do fine.  He is housebroken, crate-trained and loves riding in the car.  We are all hoping that someone out there can give this boy a chance to find the perfect family that can make him the center of their world.  He has a lot of love to give and is just the sweetest boy.  We have a volunteer that takes him to their home for the day and he does great and just lounges on the couch and chews bones.  He is really a great dog that yearns for the day to have a family again. If you are interested in learning more about Chipper or meeting him please email adopt@friendstotheforlorn.org.  You can also complete an adoption application online at:  https://www.friendstotheforlorn.org/adoption-application/   Photo Album of Chipper: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1423728577685304.1073742181.162554320469409&type=1&l=0b34799622 Our adoption fee is $300.00.   Chipper is neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, microchipped and on heartworm/flea/tick preventative.  He is eating Premium Grain Free dry dog food.  www.savingpitbulls.orgNovember 4, 2024, 12:01 am

Story
Friends to the Forlorn Adopt-a-BullName: Layla Approx. Age: 8 years Breed: Pitbull Mix Sex: Female Location: Stone Mountain, GA RESCUING LAYLA Layla was found, alone in a crate with a letter attached. The letter read “Hello, my name is Layla. I am 8 years old, and my owner lost his home. I was loved for 8 years. He is truly sorry to do this to me. He tried no kill shelters, but no one would take me. I am a good girl that prefers male dogs over females. I’m laid back. Please don’t have me killed.” She is on to a better life after her FREEDOM RIDE on 4/4/22. ABOUT LAYLA Layla is just the sweetest! She seems to be a laid-back girl- a total couch potato. She is already housebroken, and crate trained. Layla is a rockstar around dogs and kids, but would enjoy a house better without cats. She walks well on a leash and is used to leash walking for potty breaks but will pull to get back inside on her couch.  She seems to be doing well with her foster siblings. She is food motivated (almost too much as she easily packs on the pounds) and loves to please her owners! Layla loves to chew on bones and lay on comfy beds, but her favorite is the couch of course.  She does fine in a crate as long as she has a comfy spot.  She is a true velcro dog too.  She would love a low-key family and does not need a lot of exercise; she just wants affection! Is that your family who can give her the affection and love that she needs? ADOPTING LAYLA Layla is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and microchipped. She is on monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She is eating premium grain-free dry dog food. Her adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in meeting Layla to see if she is a good fit for your family, please complete an online adoption application at https://www.friendstotheforlorn.org/adopt-a-bulls.

Story
Friends to the Forlorn Adopt-a-BullName: Baby (fka Baby Shark) Breed: Pitbull Terrier Location: Acworth, Ga   RESCUING BABY Baby was just seven weeks old when she was seized in a dog fighting bust. The feds stepped in and housed all the dogs from the case. Once the dogs were released from custody, they sent her back to us where we had a foster home waiting. Baby's legs were deformed so we got her the best medical care right away. Today, she has been rehabilitated and is ready to find her forever home! ABOUT BABY Baby is a petite girl with the biggest smile and goofy personality! She has been working hard with our trainer Frank and Be Still Dog Training to learn how to be the best girl. Baby loves people, playing, and toys. She can do well with other MALE dogs with strong leadership but would do great as an only dog too. She walks great on the leash, has excellent manners, is housebroken, and crate trained. This beautiful girl is looking for a family with a confident owner who can continue with all of the things she has learned in training. Could you be the family for her? ADOPTING BABY Baby is spayed, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. She is on monthly preventative. She is eating high-quality grain-free dry dog food. Her adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in meeting or adopting Baby, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.friendstotheforlorn.org/adoption-application.
