Questions & Answers

Can I come by and play with the cats?

Kathryn Hipe | Oct 9, 2018
Michelle Morawski | Oct 9, 2018

Yes! If you go to their website, you'll also find a volunteer portal. You can sign up, and, once approved, you just pick a day for "cat socializing" and put yourself on the schedule. It looks intimidating because they're like 2 hour blocks of time, but you don't have to get there right on time or stay the entire time. The cats in there also love getting brushed :)

manahil akhtar | Oct 9, 2019
Pamela Jacobsen | Oct 9, 2019

Volunteer YES but only if your parent or guardian stays with you....you would have to have parents permission to adopt.

How old do you have to be to adopt from here?

Sid | Oct 9, 2019
Pamela Jacobsen | Oct 9, 2019

Depends on the situation? But If you are under 18 and in your parents home, I would suggest you all go together...its a great bonding experience as a family

Vick Rivera | Jul 10, 2022
Marie Maio | Jul 10, 2022

Yes they do offer Euthanasia BUT you will not get the remains if you choose to.. you would have to go to your Vets for that.. But Allina all I am extremely satisfied with the Humane Society!! I have 3 furbabies and by going to them I literally save 2 thirds the cost!

melanie | Jul 10, 2022

How much does the adoption cost?

Judith Puga | Jan 11, 2022
Brad Wilson | Jan 11, 2022

depends on age of animal. they break down price on their site. we adopted 2 pups and I want to say it was 650 for both but they have covered shots, spay/neuter, some meds... loved our experience but live over an hour away so a pain but still glad we got through them. also gave a bunch of free food and coupons for other things.

I'm interested in fostering! But I dont exactly know if this place allows fosters, does anyone know if they do or not?

Koda Clark | Nov 12, 2021
Humane Society-Forsyth County | Nov 12, 2021

We are currently seeking puppy and kitten fosters. Foster applications and information can be found on our website www.forsythpets.org

janet risher | Oct 9, 2019
Amanda Rivard | Oct 9, 2019

I'd say call Animal Control to file a complaint.

How old must you be to volunteer?

Riley Conroy | Oct 9, 2019
NRC T | Oct 9, 2019

Their website States the age but I believe it's 18

We adopted Billie Jean in October and purchased Heartgard and Nexgard for her. Your prices are so good, we would like to purchase our other dogs Heartgard and Nexgard from you. Do we need a prescription from our Veterinarian?

Danny Wheeler | Oct 9, 2019
Christopher Blauvelt | Oct 9, 2019

Do they have ball pythons?

Lindsey Rogers | Oct 9, 2019
Joe Wampler | Oct 9, 2019

No, I'm afraid not. PetSmart will sometimes adopt, rescue, fish, reptiles and resell at a reduced price but it's rare.

I have some items I will gladly donate, since my beloved Georgia (whom I adopted from FCHS 6 yrs ago at age 10) has passed. Do you accepted large dog beds? Food/water bowls/ food, flea meds, towels, blankets? Or should I take to the Thrift Store?

Alice Cole | Oct 9, 2018
drlcupon | Oct 9, 2018

I know for sure that they accept old sheets/towels/blankets/pillows. They prefer stainless steel (not plastic) bowls due to bacteria build up on plastic. I'm sure they'd take unopened flea meds. And would probably take the dog beds too.

Is this where i apopt a puppy at a reasonable price. Is this associared with petland that charges exorbitant prices

debi maturo | Oct 9, 2018
Aurora Penguin | Oct 9, 2018

It's a humane society, not a corporation fueled by puppy mills. They're going to charge you around $80 for a puppy to cover the cost that puppy has costed them. Petsmart & petco are also a good options for adoption. Neither are interested in making a lot of profits because they get animals from shelters and humane societies.

Can we come to read to the animals

Mary Paula Peterson | Oct 9, 2018
John Wenrich | Oct 9, 2018

Not sure but call them - they always need help!

Can I possibly do community service there?

Davidg0212 | Oct 9, 2018
Michelle Morawski | Oct 9, 2018

Yes! They have a portal for volunteers on their website as well; apply, and they will take a day or two to approve you. I agree about calling first to see about them signing off on it being community service, but once you are approved you can just place yourself on the volunteer schedule.

Can I drop off stray cats/kittens without an appointment?

Donnie Sue Pendley | Oct 9, 2018
Melissa Simpson | Oct 9, 2018

From their website: The Humane Society of Forsyth County cannot legally admit stray/lost pets directly into our facility. Per Georgia State Law, stray/lost pets must be taken to the animal control facility that provides for such service in the jurisdiction in which the animal was found. There are legally mandated stray hold times. Some animal control agencies may allow the finder to hold the animal for the mandated time, but the finder must file a found pet report and make a good faith effort to reunite the pet that they have found with its legal owner.  Owners who have lost a pet need a central location to find them, and the best location is their local municipal animal control facility. Please contact your local Animal Control Agency for information on their acceptance policies for stray animals.

How old do you have to be to stop by and look at the puppies?

Diamond White | Oct 9, 2018
Michelle Morawski | Oct 9, 2018

You likely should be at least over 16 if you don't have another person with you. But the workers at the shelter are very kind; they may just walk through the shelter with you. Keep in mind many of their puppies are in "quarantine", so to speak, because since they're so young it is important to keep them healthy. So if you can see them, make sure to wash your hands!
