🚨🚨 WHO DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO ABOUT GETTING SKY ADOPTED?! 🚨🚨 EXCUSE ME??? LOOK AT THIS FACE. 😭 SHE HAS EYEBROWS THAT SAY “I LOVE YOU” AND A SMILE THAT COULD FIX THE ECONOMY. Sky has been waiting for her forever home for OVER A YEAR from a foster home. A YEAR. 365+ DAYS OF BEING A GOOD GIRL WITHOUT A PERMANENT ZIP CODE. I AM LOSING MY MIND. 🫠 She just got to our shelter, and I would personally like to file a complaint with the universe because HOW HAS NOBODY SNATCHED THIS GIRL UP YET?! 🚨 CUTE FACE? YES. 🚨 ADOPTABLE? YES. 🚨 DESERVES A FAMILY OF HER OWN? A THOUSAND TIMES YES. PLEASE. SOMEBODY COME GET YOUR DAUGHTER. 😭 📍Come meet Sky at the Humane Society of Forsyth County! SHARE THIS POST. TAG YOUR FRIENDS. SUMMON THE DOG PEOPLE. LET’S GET SKY 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

🖤✨ BUSTA RHYMES IS READY FOR HIS CLOSE-UP! ✨🖤 Busta Rhymes got himself a fresh new look thanks to our friends at Woofgang of Lanier Commons, and we have to say… this handsome doodle is looking VERY adoptable. 😍🐾 And lucky for you, Busta is part of our Black Dog Adoption Special! 🖤 BLACK DOGS ARE 50% OFF! 🖤 September 22–26 Have you heard of Black Dog Syndrome? It’s the term commonly used in animal welfare to describe the idea that black dogs can sometimes be overlooked by adopters because of their appearance. Research on whether black dogs universally stay longer in shelters is mixed, but there is evidence that coat color can influence how dogs are perceived and, in some shelter populations, how quickly they are adopted. And honestly? 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! He might just be your new best friend.

🚨 ATTENTION: Camilla has absolutely no respect for personal space. 🚨 She doesn’t want to be near her people. She wants to be ON her people. In their lap. In their arms. Possibly inside their skin. 😂❤️ Camilla is the ultimate Velcro dog and just wants to be wherever her person is. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will happily follow you around and keep you company, she’s your girl. Come meet Camilla and prepare to never be alone again. 🥹🐾

💜 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! 😍

Thank You, Allied Fence! 🐾 ​We are beyond humbled and grateful for the incredible generosity and kindness shown by Allied Fence. ​Thanks to their generous donation of fences to the Humane Society of Forsyth County, our animals will have safer, more secure spaces to run, play, and decompress while they wait for their forever families.
