Furgotten Dog Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization serving the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. We are foster-based meaning 100% of the dogs in our rescue live in foster homes. Our mission is to rescue, educate, and advocate for the dogs in shelters that are left behind because of their breed, age, appearance, and special needs.

Incomplete applications (questions left unanswered) will be denied. Vet references are required (exceptions made for first time dog owners). Must be 25 years or older to apply.

If approved, we will call for an interview. Then, the foster and potential adopter will set up a date and time for a meet-and-greet at your home. We will bring the dog to your home to ensure the dog is a good fit for your family. 3. Time to Adopt. Following the approved home visit, the adopter can decide if they would like to proceed and complete the adoption process. The adoption is complete following the payment of the non-refundable adoption fee and the signing of the adoption contract (provided at time of adoption). Foster to Adopt. We offer a foster-to-adopt scenario on a case-by-case basis. Foster-to-adopt means we allow you to foster the dog in your home for a predetermined amount of time following a signed contract and a check that we will hold until you decide whether or not to proceed with the adoption. Denied Applications. We will notify you either way. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
