The Humane Society of Forsyth County (HSFC) is an independent, privately funded 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to serving the people and pets of Forsyth County since 1975. Over the past 50 years, we’ve helped more than 30,000 animals find loving, permanent homes. As one of the largest no-kill, non-profit shelters in Forsyth County, GA, we are committed to: • Rescuing and caring for homeless cats and dogs • Reducing pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs • Helping families stay together with our affordable pet wellness clinic, and a pet food pantry • Educating our community about responsible pet ownership
We rely on supporters like YOU to continue our lifesaving work. Every donation, big or small, makes an impact! Unlike government-funded shelters, HSFC receives no federal, state, or local funding and is not affiliated with the ASPCA, Humane Society of the United States, or Associated Humane Societies. Our ability to provide shelter, medical care, and critical resources for animals in need comes entirely from donations, modest adoption fees, and the generosity of our community . Each year, thousands of animals come through our doors, and we provide them with warmth, food, medical care, and most importantly love . Our mission extends beyond adoption; we advocate for the humane treatment of all animals and work to end pet overpopulation .

💛 Over a year. That’s how long Buddy has been waiting. Our longest resident, Buddy, has spent over a year in the shelter through absolutely no fault of his own. And we just can’t figure out how this great dog is still waiting for his person! Buddy is a smart, fun-loving guy who loves to train, show off how well he listens, and share a banana with his favorite human. He dreams of lake days, endless games of fetch, and coming home to a soft rug where he can stretch out and relax. He would thrive in an active home that wants a companion for all of life’s adventures. Buddy has so much love and personality to give. He just needs someone willing to give him the chance. He’s done his time waiting. Let’s get Buddy HOME. 🏡💛

🚨🚨 STOP SCROLLING. PATRICIA CAKES HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. 🚨🚨 Her government name is Patty Cake. Her mob boss name is Patricia Cakes. And she would like to speak to whoever is in charge of getting her OUT OF THIS SHELTER. Immediately. 😤👑 This woman is 8½ YEARS YOUNG and still waiting for someone to realize she’s the whole dang package. HOW IS THIS LEGAL?! 😭 💅 Patricia’s terms and conditions: 🛏️ Soft blankets. The softer, the better. She’s a lady of LUXURY. 🍪 Treats. ALL TREATS. Except chicken. Chicken makes her skin and feet unhappy, and Patricia does NOT tolerate poor customer service. 💖 Love, comfort, and a couch she can eventually claim as her own personal throne. Listen. She’s not asking for a yacht. She’s not asking for a summer home in the Hamptons. She wants a cozy blanket, some chicken-free snacks, and a human who will tell her she’s pretty approximately 47 times a day. EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS OLD. STILL WAITING. 😭 Patty Cake deserves to spend her golden years being ridiculously spoiled, sleeping in ridiculous comfort, and getting away with things that would absolutely get a younger dog grounded. 📢 ADOPT PATTY CAKE. ADOPT PATRICIA CAKES. ADOPT THIS PEARL-NECKLACE-WEARING, BLANKET-OBSESSED QUEEN. Come meet her at the Humane Society of Forsyth County and prepare to have your life taken over by a four-legged landlord who will absolutely be charging rent in chicken free treats. #AdoptPattyCake #PatriciaCakes #SeniorDogsRock #HumaneSocietyOfForsythCounty

🧺❤️ TOWELS & BLANKETS NEEDED! 🐾 Do you have extra towels or blankets lying around?

Meet Elanor 🐾 ​This 10.5-year-old beauty is about to lose her home. She was adopted 6 years ago, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she is making her way back to us 💔🥺. ​Our primary goal is to keep Elanor’s stay in the shelter as short as possible - or skip it entirely. Grieving the loss of her human and home is hard enough; a shelter environment is no place for a senior cat to process that kind of heartbreak. ​If you’ve been waiting for a sign or for a sweet senior cat to cross your feed - this is the moment. ​How to Help: Email shelter@forsythpets.org with the subject line Elanor. Please include your phone number so our team can contact you directly and discuss how to make Elanor’s transition from one loving home to the next as seamless as possible. ​We will ensure all of her vaccines are up to date and that she is fully medically cleared before going to her new home.

“Every day, Sierra walks to the window, looks out at the world, and waits. She doesn’t understand why everyone else gets to leave, or why her turn hasn't come yet.” 💔💔 ​Meet Sierra. At just two years old, this stunning buff-and-white girl has already seen the very worst of the world - and the very best of a mother's resilient heart. ​Not long ago, Sierra and her tiny, helpless babies were put on a euthanasia list simply because a shelter ran out of space. Through no fault of her own, her life was measured by a ticking clock. Miraculously, she was pulled from the brink just in time and placed into a foster home. ​And what a mother she was. While her own future was uncertain, Sierra poured every ounce of her soul into protecting and raising her five precious kittens. She watched proudly as they grew strong, and one by one she has watched every single one of them leave for their happily-ever-afters. ​Now, the nursery is quiet. The babies are gone. And Mama is left behind, wondering when it’s her turn to be someone’s whole world. ​Sierra is the shelter's longest resident, and her heart is heavy with the quiet confusion of a cat who has given everything and asks for so little in return. She doesn't want much - just a soft lap, a warm window to watch the birds, and a human to finally choose her and change her story forever. ​Age: 2 years old ​Personality: Incredibly sweet, deeply resilient, and ready to stop being the caretaker and finally be someone's pampered baby. ​Status: Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and desperately waiting for the family she has dreamed of. ​Are you the one who will walk through that door and tell Sierra she never has to wait by the window again? ​📍 Humane Society of Forsyth County ​Address: 4440 Keith Bridge Rd, Cumming, GA 30041 ​Come meet Sierra TODAY when adoltions start at 1p.m. and show her what a forever love feels like. #hsfc #forsythpets #adoptlocal #catsofforsyth

Wondering what to do tomorrow? Look no further than opening your heart and home to an adult cat who is waiting patiently for someone to finally choose them. 🐾 ​Behind every shelter door is a soul dreaming of a soft bed, a warm lap, and a family of their own. We have exceptionally sweet, gentle adult cats who are ready to trade the shelter life for a lifetime of unconditional love. They ask for so little, but they give back a lifetime of quiet companionship and purrs 🐱🐾🐱🐾.. ​Come meet your new best friend tomorrow! ​When: Adoptions start at 1:00 PM sharp. ​Where to come: 4440 Keith Bridge Rd, Cumming, GA 30041 ​Adoption Fee: $50 (Every single one of our cats comes fully prepared for their new beginning: ​Spayed/Neutered, Vaccinated, Combo tested & Microchipped) ​What to bring: Please bring a cat carrier (or two!) so they can ride home safely. ​Don't let another day go by wondering how you can make a difference. Change a life tomorrow - they are waiting for you. ❤️ ​#AdoptDontShop #ShelterCats #RescueCat #ForeverHome #HumaneSocietyOfForsythCounty #AdoptLocal

💜 From Moose to Grace, and forever part of our family! 🐾 Grace spent 7 months with us before finding her forever home about a year ago, and we were SO excited when she stopped by to say hello! 🥹💕 It was wonderful to see our girl again and catch up on how she’s doing! Grace is deaf, and her amazing mom has dedicated so much time and love to learning how Grace communicates. She goes above and beyond every day to make sure Grace is happy, loved, and living her very best life. 🥰🐶 We are so incredibly grateful to her mom for giving Grace such an amazing home and for taking the time to bring her by for a visit. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do! ❤️ Once part of our shelter family, always part of our shelter family! 🐾💜 We love you, Grace! 😍

At just 6 months old, this little white and brown tabby has already weathered a municipal shelter stay, but you’d never know it from her sunny disposition. Beneath her tiny frame beats a heart of pure gold—she is wonderfully, endlessly sweet and impossible not to fall for 💜💜. ​Moogle doesn't ask for much: just a warm lap, a patch of afternoon sunlight, and someone to call her own. Despite her lonely start, she is vibrant, playful, and deeply affectionate with both her humans and her fellow feline friends. She truly loves other cats, making her a wonderful companion if you already have a cat looking for a best buddy! ​She is fully vetted (spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped), meaning she is safe, healthy, and ready to leave her worries behind. ​She has given the shelter her patience; now, all she needs is a family to give her a home. Won't you trade that shelter cage for a soft, cozy bed and a lifetime of love? ​Could you be the miracle Moogle has been waiting for? ​Adoptions start at 11 a.m. today. Please come meet her and bring a cat carrier with you! ​📍 Address: 4440 Keith Bridge Rd, Cumming, GA 30041 ​#hsfc #forsythpets #adoptlocal #adoptdontshop

We think Busta is pretty hard to overlook. ❤️ Busta is just ONE of the amazing black dogs waiting for someone to see past the color of their coat and discover the personality underneath. During our promotion, eligible black dogs are 50% off their adoption fees! And every HSFC dog comes with: 🐾 Fully vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines 🐾 Spayed/neutered 🐾 Microchipped 🐾 Heartworm tested 🐾 On heartworm prevention 🐾 On flea prevention Busta Rhymes is available for adoption NOW and is included in the 50% off promotion! So don’t scroll past the black dogs. 🖤 Come meet them. Spend some time with them. Let them show you who they are. Because sometimes your perfect dog isn’t the one that catches your eye first… It’s the one who makes you stop scrolling. 🐾❤️ 📅 BLACK DOG ADOPTION SPECIAL: SEPTEMBER 22–26 📍 Humane Society of Forsyth County And a huge THANK YOU to Woofgang of Lanier Commons for helping Busta look his absolute best! ✂️🐩🖤 Come meet Busta Rhymes!
