95° outside and have 3 kittens to turn in, have to WAIT just to turn them in because of LUNCH. They are breathing hard just due to the weather. They need at least 1 person on standby because this heatwave is brutal this year for animals.

Questions & Answers

do you kill cats ?

Rosa Romero | Sep 24, 2018

That’s wonderful that you’ve partnered with the Humane Society! Are they able to prevent euthanasia for all the animals that are healthy but don’t get adopted??

Do y’all ever answer your phones or give call backs I’ve been calling all day this is absolutely ridiculous and pathetic

It's possible you're reaching the wrong number, though I'm unsure how old this question is. The country club location has been closed due to covid, though they are open on University parkway. Your best bet is to go to www.Forsythhumane.org and submit a surrender form or call Animal Control at (336) 703-2480.

Animal control in Forsyth is partnered with the Forsyth Humane Society and share a building on University Parkway. So, to answer your question in short, yes! And they have a possibility of becoming adoptable thanks to the partnership!

I didn’t have to do anything besides take my cat & dog to their regular veterinary visits for their vaccinations & spay/neuter. Several months later, I received a bill in the mail from animal control for $5 each.

Is this a non kill shelter?

Danielle Lyn | Sep 24, 2018
Marie Boles | Sep 23, 2021

Hi there! Often times people get confused when a shelter mentions euthanasia. So the Forsyth Humane Society does NOT euthanize healthy, well behaved and adoptable pets. The euthanasia policy is in place for 3 reasons: If the animal is behaviorally unfit to be released into the public, i.e biting, attacking, and aggressive behavior, if the animal is unwell, meaning the animals quality of life is no longer at it's peak, and if it is requested by the owner due to age/medical reasons.

Either call Animal Control via the phone number provided on their website, OR call the police station via their NON-EMERGENCY number provided on their website. Don’t call 911 unless there is a TRUE emergency.

All the animals that come from FHS are or will be neutered or spayed. The price of neutering and spay will be in the cost of the adoption.

Our cat has been missing since a week ago, last night. His name is Blackie, and is a male cat, that almost 1 yr & 3 months old. Blackie (formerly Whit) is black, and we got him at the animal shelter on 9/25/19, and has micro chip. K,ville location

Tahliah watson | Sep 24, 2019
Marie Boles | Sep 23, 2021

Ringworm can be treated topically and is actually completely different from heartworm. Ringworm is simply a fungal infection of the skin and can clear up with the proper ointment. There are foundations that can help cover vet bills, one of which i would recommend called the Sergi Foundation.

Are the 80 recently seized dogs going to b put up for adoption,& when?

Kathryn Cilento | Sep 24, 2018
Taylor Tessener | Sep 24, 2018

Not any time soon. They have to go thru the court process and be awarded to the shelter and then theyd have to get up to date on all shots, and spayed or neutered. Although I think a lot of them if not all will end up going to rescues, but I'm not positive on that. Theres just no way of knowing right now.
