Well: the dwarves did not get mentioned much (and sort of bowed out of LotR in many ways) because, if you think about it, they care mostly for their own affairs, and care not much for the affairs of others.
Well: The Hobbit concerned the Dwarves, for they wanted their gold back, and they were actually the ones who organized the whole quest. The Lord of the Rings had very little to do with the Dwarves interest. Well...so they thought: most likely, if Sauron obtained enough power once he had the ring back, he probably would have routed the Dwarves out and either tried to make them slaves or killed them.
