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
Gypsy came from Henry County Animal Control. She is still a young dog, between one and two years old, and she appears to be a purebred yellow Labrador Retriever. Poor Gypsy came to us after apparently having a litter of puppies. She was very thin and needed some TLC. She has been spayed, vaccinated and is now on the road to recovery. While she still needs to put on a few pounds, she is getting healthier every day. She is even prettier in person, with a personality to match. Gypsy is also attending the obedience classes at The Paw Pad, where she is learning basic commands and leash training.. This sweet girl will make a great family pet.
My name is Bailey. I'm sitting pretty for the nice photographer so that you can see my photos. I'm a very small and lovely Yellow Lab mix with a pinch of Shiba Inu and a dose of high energy looking for lots of love and attention. I don't consider myself a diva, but I am VERY sweet and pretty!! I'm looking forward to long evening walks, strolling on the beach, running and playing with you, and just hanging out. I am highly adoptable, so what are you waiting for?

Praying For Paws is looking for active volunteers to:
- Provide foster homes
- Walk / exercise the adoptable dogs
- Assist with applications as needed
- Work at adoption events
- Bathe or groom dogs
- Assist with special-needs dogs
- Attend volunteer planning meetings
We also strongly encourage you to volunteer at the Henry County Animal Shelter. They need volunteers to walk and socialize the dogs, bathe and groom them, post information on www.petfinder.com, call rescue groups and clean the cat cages.
Praying for Paws offers many ways to volunteer at our facility. Adults who are 18 and older should email us to set up an orientation and dog safety training program. Upon completion, we welcome our adult volunteers to assist with dog walking, training, transporting dogs to vet visits, etc. on weekdays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and on weekends from 9:00 am to noon.
