What does it mean to become a Foster Family/Parent of an animal from the Humane Society of Forsyth County (HSFC)? 
 
Fostering means you are helping us free up cage space at the adoption center for those animals less fortunate to have a family that wants them.
 

What you need to know about becoming a foster parent with the HSFC: 
 
If you are interested, you will fill out an application, submit it for review, and be willing to host a HSFC representative to your home for a home inspection.  After that, you become a designated foster parent and asked from time to time to help foster an animal.  Are you interested?

What's this about a home inspection? 

Here's a copy of the Foster Home Agreement you can review, print, sign, and bring with you to the adoption center.  

Here is the Foster Home Agreement between Shelter and Foster Family that spells out exactly what we expect from our foster families according to the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

If this sounds like something you are interested in, please read on for more details about one of the most important jobs you can have to help the HSFC.  After reviewing the Agreements, are you still interested?

The Humane Society of Forsyth County is in desperate need of additional space to house all the animals that come into our NO KILL program.  That's where you come in.  You can provide an environment that can keep an animal safe, teach it to socialize with humans and other animals, and provide companionship even if it is just a short time until we can place the animal in a permanent home.  We need families and individuals interested in giving a temporary home to animals that need attention, comfort, exercise, play time, preventative medications, and lots of love.

This can be easy for some and difficult for others...

Taking care of a foster pet will not be much different than caring for your own pets or as if you owned a pet.
