Saylor

saylor2Hi, my name is Saylor.  I was adopted from the Humane Society in October of 2002 and lived with my family until March of 2007. I was a very happy pup and felt right at home with my new family until one day my new mom and dad decided to part ways. I thought surely one of the two would take me with them but no, I was returned to the Humane Society a scared boy.

Three Great Reasons To Microchip Your Pet

BernieBernie the diminutive Chihuahua had a big problem.  His owner decided she could no longer keep him and turned him into local animal control.  He was scheduled for euthanasia, having no hope of his owner reclaiming him. Unless he was adopted quickly, he would be put down to create room for strays picked up by county officers.  Even though he was a sweet, lovable and highly adoptable dog, local animal control simply did not have the facilities to keep him for an extended period of time.

Welcome to the Humane Society of Forsyth County, GA

Humane Society of Forsyth County Front

We are dedicated to preventing cruelty to, relieving the suffering of, and providing humane treatment for animals. We stand by the fact that we are one of a few NO-KILL shelters in this area. We are a volunteer organization interested in the rehoming or placement by adoption of abandoned cats, dogs, kittens and puppies within the Forsyth County area, Roswell, North Fulton, John's Creek, and Alpharetta areas.

Our goal is to not only strengthen the bond but also the understanding between animals and humans. The Humane Society of Forsyth County is not funded by local or state government.
