The Humane Society of Forsyth County is always in need of additional space to house all the animals waiting to come into our NO KILL program.  Because we do not euthanize for space, the only way we can avoid turning animals away when our shelter is full is by relying on our strong Foster 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... we often tell a new foster parent to remind themselves, "If I keep this one, I can't help the next one and there will always be a 'next one' needing my help."  One of our long time foster moms says, "It is wonderful to keep in touch with so many special dogs and cats who have come through our home.  It's like having grandchildren scattered all over North Georgia!"  Another foster says, "Fostering is a blessing because it gives me the opportunity to get to know the special, unique personalities of so many more dogs than I would ever get to enjoy if I didn't foster.  I cherish each unique dog I've ever fostered."
