Mission Welcome to the Humane Society of Forsyth County (Georgia)
Our Dedication and Mission follows: The Humane Society of Forsyth County in Cumming, Georgia is 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. The Humane Society of Forsyth County is not funded by local or state government and operates on funding by donations, fundraisers and grants.
History The Humane Society of Forsyth County (HSFC) was founded on December 20, 1975 when the population of Forsyth County was just over 17,000. Today, Forsyth County is home to over 132,000 people and their pets!
Our facility, located just east of GA 400 on Keith Bridge Road, can house up to 25 dogs and puppies and approximately 35 cats, who roam freely in well-lit, comfortable rooms. At any given time, another 50-75 animals are being cared for in loving foster homes.
Thousands of animals are turned in to shelters every year. Most will be euthanized. Consider that one female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies. In just seven years, one female cat and her young can give birth to 420,000 kittens! Pet overpopulation affects us all.
Thousands of your tax dollars are used to fund the County’s animal control services and shelter (not the HSFC). Low cost programs are now widely available for spaying and neutering cats and dogs. Please call us today at 770-887-6480 for that important information! Staff Members
