Our sweet little Socks waited a few months for her family to find her, but wow it was worth the wait. Melanie and George, who had adopted another wonderful dog named Reggie from Forgotten Friends of LI a little over a year ago, fell in love and the dogs are already best of friends. We so appreciate our repeat adopters and their trust in us and are thrilled for Socks. She is the happiest dog alive right now as her wait is over. Welcome Home Socks (now Lucy) and thanks so much adopters!!!

Adorable little Zelda had a hard time coming from a hoarding situation where she received almost no attention or love.

Happy Endings are possible when people care. We can never give upon these pups. Welcome Home Zelda!
We had such a special reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving as a wonderful family of 4 came, fell hard for our Mandy (and vice versa) and took her home to join their family. They understood her fears and the need to go slow with new people and situations and the abuse in her past. Undaunted and determined, our adopters have won her heart and Mandy is happy and thriving and we are on cloud nine. Thank you so much adopters for giving our girl such an amazing home, which was a match made in heaven for sure. Welcome Home Mandy.
Adorable “Little” and her daughter “Socks” were dropped off by their family to a high kill shelter. We were looking for one that day, but how could we not take them both?

Welcome Home Little and don’t worry, your daughter will find her family soon too.

Our adorable Topper left today with his new parents, Nick and Catherine. Trusted volunteers of Forgotten Friends of Long Island, we know this young couple are ready for a dog. They waited until their schedules were flexible and they had purchased their new home and safely fenced in yard. Responsible people like this are wonderful to see, they waited until it was right for the dog and didn’t get a dog before they thought they could be everything and more that their dog needed and wanted. Congratulations Nick and Catherine and Welcome Home Topper!!!

Little Sophie was being fostered by one of our volunteers who of course fell in love with the little lass, but who wouldn’t? So Sophie found her forever home with Beth & Steve. A couple weeks later, after the heartbreaking loss of their dog Faith, Dixie came from rural Louisiana after living for 6 months in a crate 20 hours a day. Dixie was a dog who had spent 1/2 her life locked in a crate. Dixie needed and deserved a life of love and care and fun and the commitment of a family. She found that and a little sister named Sophie to boot! Welcome Home Sophie & Dixie!
