Rescue Roast Feature: Forgotten Now Family Rescue!

Grounds & Hounds x Forgotten, Now Family Rescue: Saving the Dogs Others Leave Behind

Some dogs are easy to love.
Others are overlooked, labeled, or left behind.

At Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co., we believe those are the dogs who need us most.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with Forgotten, Now Family Rescue as our Rescue Roast beneficiary from May 1 through June 15—a rescue known for stepping in when others can’t.

For this limited time, 100% of Rescue Roast profits will go directly toward their lifesaving work.

A Rescue Built for the Hardest Cases

Forgotten, Now Family Rescue isn’t your typical rescue.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, this all-women-founded 501(c)(3) organization was created with a very specific mission:
to save the dogs that have been forgotten, discarded, or deemed “too far gone.”

They specialize in:

• Major medical cases
• Survivors of abuse and neglect
• Dogs rescued from dog fighting situations
• Animals pulled from euthanasia lists
• Dogs requiring intensive rehabilitation

These are the dogs most rescues don’t have the resources—or capacity—to take on.

But Forgotten, Now Family Rescue says yes anyway.

Where Others See “Too Much,” They See Potential

The strength of Forgotten, Now Family Rescue lies in their willingness to take on the most challenging, expensive, and emotionally demanding cases.

They are often the rescue called when:

• A dog needs thousands of dollars in medical care
• A case involves severe trauma or neglect
• Time is running out
• There are no other options left

Their team works tirelessly to provide these dogs with:

• Emergency veterinary care
• Rehabilitation and recovery
• Safe foster environments
• The time and patience needed to heal

Their belief is simple, but powerful:
no dog is beyond saving.

Real Stories. Real Transformation.

The work of Forgotten, Now Family Rescue is best understood through the stories they create.

Dogs that arrive emaciated, abandoned, or critically ill are given a chance to heal—and often go on to become beloved family members.

In one case, two severely neglected dogs were rescued after being left without food or care. Both required immediate, life-saving medical attention, including blood transfusions and intensive treatment. Thanks to the rescue’s intervention, they were stabilized, placed into foster homes, and given the opportunity to recover and eventually be adopted.

These are not easy wins.
They are hard, expensive, and uncertain.

But they are exactly the kind of work that changes the landscape of animal rescue.

A Mission Fueled by Passion, Not Profit

Forgotten, Now Family Rescue is entirely volunteer-run, with leadership and team members dedicating their time purely out of passion and purpose.

No salaries.
No shortcuts.
Just relentless commitment to saving lives.

The organization has grown into a powerful community of supporters, fosters, and advocates who rally around their mission.

Their reach extends far beyond Charlotte, with a strong social media presence that has helped them spread awareness, fund medical cases, and build a loyal rescue community.

More Than Rescue: A Movement

Forgotten, Now Family Rescue isn’t just saving dogs—they’re shifting the narrative.

They challenge the idea that certain dogs are “unadoptable.”
They advocate for bully breeds and misunderstood animals.
They show the world what’s possible when compassion leads.

Their motto—Save. Love. Adopt. Repeat.—is more than a phrase.
It’s a cycle of impact that continues to grow with every life they touch.
