Forgotten Friends is an Austin-based, 501 (c) 3, rescue organization supported solely by volunteers and donations from the community. The group was started eight years ago to help reduce the number of sweet, loving dogs that die everyday for lack of a committed home. Forgotten Friends rescues adoptable dogs from kill shelters around the area and cares for them in a private mini shelter while they wait for a foster home to have an opening or a new foster home to sign up with the group. If no home opens up, they reside in the shelter until they are adopted.
