Friends To The Forlorn Pitbull Rescue, Inc.

I have been a supporter of this rescue for a few years now. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt I know this rescue is all about saving those that are forlorn, forgotten, abused, neglected, and misunderstood. They use the donations for the animals and their care and not for profit for themselves. They are my heroes and I am so proud to have found out about them and the saving grace they perform without hesitation when it comes to those furbabies that need help the most. The least I can do is donate when I can to this very special rescue group who in my opinion are true angels on this earth!!!!i am truly honored to be a supporter!!!

There is NO ONE more committed, compassionate & loving than Jason Flatt. FTTF rescues everyone he can, be it dog, cat, horse, etc He also does so much for the community, for people that can't afford it.

FTTF is the best you'll find anywhere !!

We worked with Friends to the Forlorn Pitbull Rescue twice in the last few years. The first time we tried to adopt we had a precious, cranky, old pitbull and we tried to match her with a younger dog. FTTF was very patient and understanding as we tried to find a dog that she would put up with. Didn't happen so we went on our way.

A year ago that precious, cranky, old pitbull passed away and in the spring we decided to start looking again. Based on our previous experience with FTTF, we headed right back to them and started over. After looking at several pictures and visiting with one other dog, we met our match.

What we love about FTTF is that they take the time to learn their dogs and figure out with what kind of family each dog would be a good fit. More rescues than not couldn’t tell a potential adopter one end of their dogs from another and that scares us. We didn’t want to end up with a dog who would eat the couch or injure our cat. We also had another specific requirement: she had to love our kid who’d been waiting for years for a dog to call his own. FTTF was very sensitive to that and made sure that we only considered dogs who fit the bill. There was never any pressure and they kept on working with us every though it took some time. It’s very obvious that they are most interested in finding the best home rather than moving the dogs along. Quality over quantity. Should we ever want another dog, they are our rescue.

This rescue is truly committed to saving animals - Friends to the Forlorn Pit Bull - takes on the dogs forced to fight, dogs that have been shot, critically abused, the blind and the deaf, and any other special-needs case rejected by other organizations or dogs sentenced to death row at the shelters.
Jason Flatt has devoted his life to improving the well being of animals who would have no future life without his organization.

Friends to the Forlorn is an excellent example of A+ charity. Not only do they carry out their intended efforts to rescue PitBull's in need but they also rescue other animals and even humans when they cross their paths. The founder is a truly generous stand up human who can not turn his back on one in need. If he is not able to offer the help himself for some reason he will do all he can to find the help needed. The volunteers are great, dedicated hard workers. They want nothing but the best for the animals and those who are involved in protecting, educating, rehoming, and improving the lives and spreading the knowledge of pitbulls and pitbull type dogs. The area they serve is better because of them.

Fttf is an amazing rescue.. not only for the wonderful breed but for all animals that are in need, Jason goes above and beyond bringing in and saving the lives of so many different breeds and kinds of animals..from pigs to donkeys to cats and of course many different breeds of dogs.. especially the loving pitbuls

I work at a large open intake shelter in metro Atlanta, and FTTF has been a long term partner of ours. They are one of my favorite groups!

FTTF is my go-to for many of our dogs because the care they receive is truly exceptional. They have rescued protective mom dogs and litters, behavior cases, puppies, severe medical cases, hospice seniors and our at-risk dogs. I trust them. They work with such integrity and transparency. Many of the dogs they pull from us require some specialty care, and that's exactly what FTTF gives them.

FTTF also has many long term fosters. They seem to feel supported and are committed to the mission. I often receive updates on the dogs they pull, many of them are very special dogs that needed FTTF to thrive.

I'm grateful we have FTTF in our community. Their commitment to improving the lives of animals in our area is truly making a difference. They are a model group that sets the highest standard for the animals in their program.

There need to be more people like Jason. His organization has helped several people I know with their dogs.

FTTF is an amazing rescue founded by Jason Flatt. Jason is an unsung hero for the animals no one else will save. He steps up, follows through and goes above and beyond each time. This year I had the privilege of fostering my first dog with Fttf. Liberty was in distress and sick with worms at the pound. Jason didn’t hesitate to get her out of there and get her what she needed for treatment. She is thriving today and healthier than I could have ever imagined. Thank you Jason and the entire FTTF family for never giving up on any animal.

FTTF is the best of the best and Jason Flatt is truly a hero, dedicated to rescuing any dog (or cat) and seeing that each animal gets the care and treatment it needs - nothing is spared. Each and every animal is loved.

By far the best rescue group in the world . You know without a doubt any money raised is out back into saving more fur babies ! Thank you FTTF for giving all these babies another chance!!!

I worked with FTTF earlier this year providing fospice care to a wonderful dog that had congestive heart failure due to advanced heartworm. Despite the bleak prognosis, FTTF was determined to fight for a recovery, sparing no expense and providing enormous support for me. When it became obvious that recovery was not possible and the end had arrived, the founder came to the vet with me and stopped to get the dog a grilled steak and so his last moments would be amazing. There is a devotion at FTTF to give largely unloved pitties all the love and care they didn't have previously.

Fttf is a great place! Not only does Jason work his butt off to save the most misunderstood breed of our time; he also does a huge amount of community outreach. From saving kittens (who are usually more ferocious than the pitbulls he works with) to bringing people food, to driving into cities full of supplies after natural disasters. He truly is a great human, with a great heart, surrounded by great people who want to save animals.

I was helped by Jason and FTTF about 5 years ago at one of his "Beat the Heat" events. I was able to bring my two cats that I had at that time and get their shots for free. At that time, we were about a week away from our house going into foreclosure, so shoots for our cats where not in our budget. This event was MASSIVE. FTTF and the other organisations that donated their time helped thousands of animals and their people. I do not think FTTF does the "Beat the Heat" events anymore, but I know they do spay and neuture hundreds of animald throughout the year for free for struggling families.

Amazing rescue that works with a wonderful breed . Made of people that truly care about the animals and strive everyday to right all the wrongs these dogs have suffered. Keep up the great work !!

This is a great non profit that always has its best interest in the dog. I have seen the amount of love and dedication they have in saving the dogs and it is absolutely amazing!
When it comes to saving animals lives they truly embody what it is to do this!

As a pitbull lover and advocate, I have followed and supported this organization for years. Jason and his amazing team go above and beyond to not only rescue pitbulls, but kittens and donkeys too! This is an organization that goes above abd beyond and never sees a challenge they are not willing to take on!

One of the best. Education, training and placement agendas around.

I’m a softy for dogs, especially PitBulls. When I came across Jason and his rescue team, I realized quickly that they were the real deal! They have saved and helped so many dogs. (And cats). Adopting a rescue gives your soul pure joy. I donate whenever possible and proud to do the little I can. Ever deserving organization!

FTTF is absolutely a miracle maker in Georgia. The founder, Jason, has one of the biggest kindest hearts I’ve ever seen in action which has pulled the most amazing tribe of volunteers around him. Literally saving lives of animals tossed to die. It is the type of organization one would dream to find and Jason puts his soul into it to ensure it runs flawlessly.
These individuals walk with intention, FTTF was built with cause and leaves true footprints of love and change wherever they go, changing the lives of all animals they touch.

I volunteer for a dog rescue here in CA and pitties are my absolute passion. Someone suggested I look at this rescue and I immediately was impressed with them. They are honest about their approach and have amazing followers. The founder, Jason, is highly respected with his followers and I am amazed at the heart he has for each and every rescue. He is an advocate for spay/neuter programs to try and combat the problem of unwanted dogs. He is a no frills kind of guy, full of compassion and honesty. It is on my bucket list to someday meet him and I hope he fulfills his dream of building a larger facility in GA.

By first receiving support from this organization when working at govt shelter, the by working in the organization as a volunteer and board member, and now a supporter, I can say that this organization is the most transparent, focused, organized and dedicated group probably in the world. The integrity is beyond reproach. The community involvement is unmatched. The leadership and the loyal supporters keep the machine running. Although it is labeled a Pit rescue, it is so much more. The hundreds of animals spayed, neutered, medically assisted is unmatched. Thank you FTTF.

After our dog Zeus died, Jason and His rescue helped us in finding our princess Pepper as a puppy. We fostered Pepper and then adopted her to her forever home. If that was not enough, we fostered/adopted Sunny as she was a owner surrender at the shelter and rescued by Friends to the Furlong. Jason and the rescue are the absolute best at what they do and he has the biggest heart and love for what he does. Love you and the rescue for what you have done and for what you continue to do.

You will not find a better rescue organization out there. Jason and his team are true professionals and care deeply about what they do

A broken baby girl found after being dumped amongst trash. A botched ear clipping left her maimed and bleeding, no longer of any value to the person who harmed her. She was taken to the pound where Friends to the Forlorn promptly rescued her. They saw her value, they wanted to save her as they have saved so many before her, and so many after her. She was taken to the vet, received vaccinations and the all clear for a foster home. My family and I stepped up to foster her but it didn’t take us long to fall in love with her and to know that she was already home. She had a hard time trusting and would try to escape routine care or cower in fear. Emotional wounds left from the physical pain she endured. Friends to the forlorn got her hooked up with a trainer which help both her and I learn how to trust and work together. This girl that someone thought to throw away is the sweetest and most loving dog that we have ever had in our family. She loves life so fiercely. That scared and hurt little puppy is growing up to be the greatest family dog. Our very own sweet Maisie! Without Friends to the Forlorn there is no telling where this black Pitbull with clipped ears would have ended up. Every dog has value to Friends to the Forlorn and they will do everything they can to rescue, rehabilitate and love as many dogs as they can. They are truly an amazing organization run with unyielding integrity and with the sole goal of saving animals.

I have be aware of Jason's rescue since it began because I had previously been a board member of a breed specific rescue that had been doomed to failure. My personal family had been in love with the breed and had several of our own for several years. We had watched breed specific rescues come and go and kept note of FTTF. It was/is amazing to watch FTTF grow, evolve and give back to the community. Dedication, education, and determination... FTTF has it all! They thoroughly screen adoption applicants and make sure each "adopt-a-bull" is matched with the right family and provides the best medical treatment to every animal that enters the rescue. This rescue is run like a well oiled machine abd is destined to leave a major positive mark in the rescue community. Jason and his entire crew do the "job" right and they do it well. As time passed, our pack got smaller and eventually we decide to adopt. I bet you can guess which rescue we went to...

The passion Jason Flatt has to change the lives of the many abused and abandoned pitbulls was so moving to me.
His is the first rescue I have ever donated to.

He shares their progress which warms my heart.

If you meet him you will never forget the experience. He is God sent to his many rescrews.

How many communities open their arms to a pitbull rescrew but they did because this rescrew is so needed and they saw he was the right person to fill this need.

So grateful this rescue not only helps pitbulls but kittens, donkeys, and dogs of every shape and size!
Bravo Jason!!

I adopted my Cleopatra from Friends of Forlorn 4 years ago and they are one of the best rescues in the country. They were a pleasure to work with and we love our Cleo so much. She is now 8 !

There are none more dedicated, honest, or hard working than those individuals that volunteer or are associated with Friends to the Forlorn Pit Bull Rescue. Jason and his team members vaccinate, spay or neuter animals in the hundreds each year, rescue, rehabilitate, foster and adopt out the most pathetic and forgotten of animals. We have 3 Forlorn dogs and consider Jason a dear friend.

My friend mentioned this resue andI'msohappyhedid.. I read all about Jason and the wondful things he does for these misunderstood babies. It's like no other resue out there. They give so much and love these babies.

Truly the most selfless, productive and awareness raising organizations out there. Keeping the cause of rescue at the forefront of everything they do.

We adopted Sweet Betty Lou from FTTL in 2018. It’s been a rewarding experience full of love and fun! Best thing ever!

Excellent rescue with hearts of gold for our furry friends that need help

This Resue Group is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! They are definitely focused on saving these wonderful babies and dedicate most of their time to this Wonderful cause! Definitely the best rescue group I've seen.

Friends to the Forlorn and its founder, Jason Flatt, are beyond amazing! They are firmly committed to helping not just pitbulls and other dogs in need, but animals of all kinds. Jason's dogs are better cared for than my own children (who have a pretty great life)! I cannot say enough good things about this organization. They work tirelessly day and night 365 days a year.

This amazing rescue has been around for over 10 years, improving the lives of pit bull type dogs but also the community they serve. They are absolutely the best at what they do, just ask anyone in the Forlorn family!

We have been fans of friends to the forlorn for more than 8 years. We adopted our sweet boy, Tyrion 7 years ago from them. They are one of the best rescues we have worked with.

Such a wonderful group of people and a special man started Friends of the Forlorn about 10 years ago taking the unwanted pitbulls and giving them the chance to live a better life. I can't say enough about the good things he and his volunteers have done to help these sweet dogs and educate people about the breed. They have my utmost respect and support and deserve recognition for all their hard work.

My pitbull passed to cancer. Being new to the Atlanta area, I searched for a rescue to spend some time helping until I was ready for a new dog. Not only did I find one of the best rescues, I made some lifelong friends. I have adopted 2 dogs from Jason. He has a soul like none other!

The best charity there is for the dogs that need it most! I donate regularly and I'm always impressed with the passion that comes from the people that run this organization. The love that is shown for these dogs is immense.

Goes over and beyond for every animal in need! I have watched them for years turn tragedies into success stories ❤️

Jason Flatt and his organization go above and beyond for these incredible dogs - he even pays it forward by supporting and donating to other animal rescues - even cats! He is admired for his relentless passion

This rescue, based in Paulding County Georgia, saves dogs that no one else will. They pull dogs from shelters that don't adopt out pitbulls, that would be euthanized. They give back to the community, by funded spay and neuter for folks that can't afford it. They also donate to the local Paulding County Animal Shelter. Great outfit, Great people.

Friends of the Forlorn isn’t just a charity- it’s a way that people can rebuild lives, connect with people that don’t look like each other but have a passionate connection about helping animals and each other.

There are many animal charities but none that fight as hard to survive every day. They know that there are simply too many “specialty breed” organizations that take all the “Pretty” dogs. These folks help everyone they can-the ones others are scared of or afraid would cost too much.

Money doesn’t matter to them. It’s all heart! Money just lets them help more animals and improve more people’s lives!

FTTF is a wonderful organization that goes above and beyond to save as many as they can. We adopted a senior Pitbull from FTTF and felt so comfortable throughout the process! Jason and all associated with FTTF truly care about the animals they rescue and will do whatever it takes to make sure they are taken care of. We are grateful for FTTF and everything they do!

Having dealt with many rescues, this is clearly one of the best. No effort is too great to assist any dog.

Such a WONDERFUL rescue! I am lucky to be able to work along side Jason Flatt and the volunteers and fosters to help with the animals they save at a veterinary clinic. I am able to witness first-hand how FTTF will do everything in their power to take care of the animals rescued in their care and I have adopted a dog that was on the receiving end of that love! My Budda wouldn’t be here without FTTF’s help. I love what the rescue stands for and I love seeing what they do!

From the initial inquiry into the final adoption of our rescue pup, everything was super professional. All communications were timely and all of the volunteers we worked with have a true passion for ensuring the right family is paired with the right dog. They do an extensive background inquiry, vet and reference checks. I would adopt through them in a heartbeat and they truly love their dogs make the animals their number one priority.

I was a supporter before boing a foster. And they do a great job showing the true image of all Pitts. They sincerely care about the breed and even those non Pitts or dogs that also need care. Very straight forward rescue in what they need and love what they do.

Love FTTF! I have fostered for them and adopted from them. Jason and the entire team go out of their way to help and rescue animals, and they don’t stop at pitbulls! Jason has rescued several kittens, donkeys, and other dog breeds as well. They are the best!

I am a volunteer, adopter, and foster with FTTF. I spent a lot of time checking them out before adopting our Abby from them two years ago. I was impressed with their thoroughness and commitment I started volunteering with them and then started fostering. Their concern for these dogs is outstanding and they remain part of the FTTF family forever

There’s not enough time in the day to tell my stories of this amazing Rescue. I reached out to FTTF when another “rescue” failed a pup I was fostering and we were welcomed into the Forlorn family. I have fostered and volunteered for several years and this rescue does it the right way. I have failed on a few pups and I have rescued some cats ... FTTF doesn’t discriminate. Jason runs this rescue the way all rescues should. He’s in it for the animals.

FTTF helped me save a dog that pulled at my heart strings. A stray with skin hanging, cold & hungry wandered into my yard. I didn’t want him to freeze so I called animal control, only to find out if not claimed in 4 days he’d be put down. The next day I found FTTF, Holly was great, but with no fosters able to take on another dog my journey began. I began to foster this dog, I named him Zane before he was even home with me. I wanted him to have better than what he had in his past, as I continued my search to find his forever family he was already home, with ME. I ADOPTED HIM. Zane is great, and I am so glad he wandered into MY yard.

This is by far the best and most organized rescue I have ever been a part of. When I first started fostering with them I had pulled two dogs from the shelter myself. I was 25 and most rescues were blowing me off due to my age, so i got impatient and just fostered through the shelter. One was very easy and sweet and one wouldn’t let anyone but me touch her. I had gotten in over my head and needed help. FTTF came to my rescue and helped transform the dog into a sweet and loving girl who now has found her forever. Since those first two I have fostered 5 more dogs with them and they are incredible. They want the ones that nobody else wants. They give second chances to dogs who have totally given up. They are incredible and I absolutely suggest that everyone get involved with them.
