Praying for Paws is a non-profit dog rescue group that is dedicated to helping homeless dogs in the Henry County, Georgia area. We focus on larger dogs but have a large variety of breeds, such as German Shepherds, Border Collies, Beagles, terriers, hounds, and many beautiful Labrador Retrievers. Our biggest needs are adoptions, foster homes, volunteers, and donations.
Featured Dogs
Buddy, or Golden Buddy as he is listed on our website (to avoid confusion with another adoptable dog named Buddy) is sad and confused. His previous owner moved and did not take Buddy with her. He has always lived indoors and is extremely well-trained and an overall great dog! He knows several commands and has a great personality. Buddy is looking for another home of his own that will be permanent this time. He is a purebred Golden Retriever and is patiently waiting for you . .
Ruby is such a sweet girl! She was dumped at our facility last year, and she had obviously not received much care during her previous life. Despite her ordeal, Ruby loves all people! She is so affectionate and wants to interact with her caregivers constantly. Ruby knows how to “sit” on command also.
She does well with other dogs, as long as they are not overly-active and stay out of her “space.” Ruby has not seen much activity on our website, and we would love to place her in a great home of her own very soon. She is definitely a jewel, as her name implies. Please give her a fresh start today!

Praying for Paws, Inc. was organized in 2005 for the purpose of improving the lives of Companion animals in Henry County, Georgia. This organization seeks to accomplish this goal by implementing the following programs:
- Rescue, provide veterinarian care and find qualified homes for homeless companion animals.
- Support Henry County Animal Shelter; Assist by providing funds for programs needed to reduce the euthanasia rate and move toward a low kill animal shelter, especially helping them develop a low cost spay and neutering program in Henry County. Provide volunteers to assist in animal care and socialization.
- Provide information to the public regarding the correct care of animals, and how to deal with behavior problems that cause people to give up their animals.
- When our Military are deployed, provide assistance to their families by offering care, shelter and temporary or permanent homes to their pets.
- Accomplish the above goals by fundraising, seeking donations and grants from individuals and corporations, and by conducting local yard sales, bake sales and walk a thons.
The animals we rescue come from our community (owners surrender their dogs) and from our local animal shelter where they try not to euthanize animals that are highly adoptable. Pictures of dogs for adoption can be seen on Petfinder.com, and a few of the dogs are featured at right. While the Labrador Retriever has been the breed we rescue most often (as there seems to be a very large overpopulation of this breed), we do rescue other breeds and mixes. Currently we have Labs, Beagles, Border Collie mix, St Bernard, Pomeranian, Yorkshire Terrier, Cairn Terrier mix, Poodle, Golden Retriever mix and others. We have a diversity of large and small dogs. All dogs can be seen by appointment any day of the week. Adoption fees are approximately $200.00 but may vary due to individual medical costs per dog.
Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort,
please donate a Kuranda dog bed.
