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!

If you would like to adopt a dog from us, please complete the online application. You may also print it out and mail it to us at 289 Jonesboro Road, Suite 266, McDonough GA 30253. Please make sure you also read and understand the adoption contract.
The application process requires a home visit and veterinarian reference (for any current pets in the household). Current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines and heartworm preventative. The home visit will be conducted to insure that the pets have a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of exercise opportunities. Fenced yards are preferred, but exceptions are made according to the applicant’s plan for exercise and potty breaks. Absolutely NO chaining or tethering is allowed – no exceptions.
Application fees are approximately $200 for adopted dogs but may vary due to individual medical costs per dog. All Praying For Paws dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm-negative and up-to-date on all vaccines and heartworm preventative. They have also been temperament-tested for compatibility with children and other dogs/cats.
If you have additional questions about the application process, please call us at 404-202-4208.
All of our animals are listed on Petfinder.com, so you can find the perfect new pet for you!
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.
