Got my dog here back in 2017 she's 5 now and one of the greatest purchases I've ever made.

Well it's nice and clean but got started off wrong. The kitten Im adopting was sick and now I'm having to go back and forth to the vet. Upper respiratory infection. Bless his heart. It's all good though. He's precious and I love him. He's on the mends. All said, they were very nice and the adoption or fostering till He's fixed then I'll adopt him went fast. All that said they had a sale. 25$ for cats and dogs compared to the 100$ I would have pd. Is great. It all worked out for the good. Thanks FHS.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Do you'll have service dogs? Or emotional support

Melissa Wilson | Mar 31, 2022
CrazyMom of8 | Mar 31, 2022

No, you have to get the training for that yourself from my understanding. There are plenty of places to get that.

Do y’all find dogs a nice home ?

Jacqueline Reed | Nov 1, 2021
William Richardson | Nov 1, 2021

Yes they do

There is a yellow tabby that has wandered up on our property that sadly we cannot keep, if no one responds to being able to provide him a home I will need to take him to the humane society. Very sweet disposition and seems very intelligent.

Jeff Byrd | Nov 1, 2021
Forsyth Humane Society | Nov 1, 2021

Hi Jeff, please take the kitty to the nearest vet to see if he is microchipped. If he is not microchipped and you have not been able to find his humans, please bring him to our University North location. Thanks!

How much is it to adopt a dog here

Fred Peterson | Sep 28, 2019
Sandra Craddock | Sep 27, 2020

With all of this money which is being donated to you guys--- why does it cost so much to adopt an animal? On top of that, why do you charge the same for an animal which has already been paid for as far as spaying or neutering. You should lower this price after the first adoption. This makes you look like you are just wanting the money which can be made. Change your policy people. It's way past time!

Chazz Dyer | Sep 28, 2019
Robin | Sep 28, 2019

They coordinate with other shelters I believe (to greatly decrease chances of that happening) however its not guaranteed. They say on their website that they have a save rate of 90%. I understand your feelings...I feel same way about abortion and new infanticide laws...it is murder.

joan spry | Jul 29, 2022
Christine O'Grady | Jul 29, 2022

That's something the shelter will have to answer. But it is possible that she needs special care, may have a medical issue that other cats can contract, other cats may make her grumpy, etc. There are many reasons but the shelter can give you the most accurate answer.

What is the charge for putting a dog to sleep

Steven | Sep 27, 2020
Robin | Sep 27, 2020

Pretty sure that your vet will answer that. Not sure Humane Society euthanizes. They are a no-kill facility meaning they do not euthanize like animal shelters do. So sorry you are having to make a decision to put down your pet. I have had pets who suffered & that is difficult time. My prayers are with you and your dear friend.🐾

Do you accept old towels, wash cloths, sheets? Have some to donate.

How do I surrender a puppy chichiuia and shitzu mix

Karen Roberts | Sep 27, 2020
Robin | Sep 27, 2020

Take the puppy to the door that says "animal intake" The door is on the far right when you enter the parking lot. Someone should greet you at the door but there is an intercom with a button. This will notify someone. They will take the animal inside but I dont think you have to come in. I only did this once but this facility is fairly new and I dont think the policy has changed.

How long are the animals observed before they are released

A Google User | Sep 28, 2019
Sandra Craddock | Sep 27, 2020

That's as bad as the mental hospital. I guess that at least you get them healthy for the next go round though they release them but I don't care how hard they hey--- alot of these animals will be released too abusers or users. I am sure that they do the best that they can humanly do but this is just a fact. It's kinda like the CPS. They do what they possibly can but there are so many who fall through the cracks and I really do hate to be one of those negative people but it's not really negativity, it's just reality. These are the ones that I feel bad for. I had someone tell me that they worked for the FHS but they couldn't go in a certain part of building but they stood outside of the door which they could not enter and listened too an animal being further abused (after all the animal had already been through) and told that " you are not so tough now are you"? It literally made me sick to know that an animal who probably felt that his help had come, had to further endure such treatmen

tami bruggeman | Sep 28, 2019

I do not believe there is a fee, you do a surrender. This facility is amazing, very clean and they treat the animals well. Our family adopted 2 kittens in January. You may always call there first before making the trip to ask specific questions, I hope this helps.

Our wenniee dog got attacked by a stray dog an his throat is ripped open. I don't have the money to talk him to the vet an I don't no what to do an putting hi to sleep is a last resort. What can I do to help him.

Michelle Hicks | Sep 28, 2019
Robin | Sep 28, 2019

Take him to the vet and worry about the money later. If the dog is suffering and needs medical treatment you must take it to a vet. I realize the financial situation but if you cannot afford it, an animal rescue center (AARF) should take care of your dog. I am sure they will gladly help. www.aarfws.org Central Spay & Neuter in Kernersville is a low cost veterinary clinic perfect for low income families. They offer low cost vaccines, spay/neuter and other services.

How much money i need to adopt a dog?

Patricia Flores Molina | Sep 28, 2019
Cecilia Wilson | Sep 28, 2019

It depends, but usually $100 to $150. This is determined by vet bills for shots, spay or neuter, and any others treatments the dog had to have. But mostly the $100 is average. Good luck there are so many who need furever homes.

Is this a no kill shelter.

Cynthia Woods | Sep 28, 2018
Forsyth Humane Society | Sep 28, 2018

Hi Cynthia. We have recently become contracted partners with Forsyth County Animal Control. We are now an open admissions shelter in hopes that we can increase the save rate of Forsyth County dogs and cats. This means we cannot turn animals away. We are on track to save so many more animals than we used to. However, we are limited by space and resources. We do, and have always euthanized for behavior if an animal digresses in the shelter and is no longer safe to our volunteers, staff, and the public. We also humanely euthanize for medical reasons. The difference now is that we must euthanize for space when we don't have the space to comfortably house these pets. We are increasing the save rate already, but cannot do it alone. We always need volunteers, fosters, support, and people to spread the word about spaying and neutering pets! Lastly, we need to be the very last resort for rehoming pets. Pets are members of the family and should be rehomed responsibly!

I know this is a bit late but put out flyers. the day my dog didn't come back I put flyers everywhere around my area, especially leave one at vet offices. I got lucky the lady has went to check for a microchip(back when they first started doing them so she didn't have one) which is where she saw the flyer. Those ones I put up in my area wouldn't have helped because somehow she made it 5-6 miles away in a day or two. just gotta put the word out everywhere you're able and asap. Since animals missing aren't usually stolen you have a better chance of them being in the area longer. So on stop signs or telephone poles at stop signs etc. If you haven't yet you still should try because someone might of kept her thinking she didn't have a home. Good luck.
