Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Do you have the time to foster a dog, cat, puppies or kittens for a short period of time (typically a week to a few months) while they await admission to our Adoption Center? We will take care of all medical and food needs, crates, and other supplies, but we greatly need some volunteers to help keep our furry friends safe for a short while. Some may be recuperating from a recent injury, or simply have no place else to go. If you are interested, please call 721-1303 and speak to our Adoption Counselor (ext. 102).

The Forsyth Humane Society is always in need of volunteers. We have an endless list of tasks for those who want to help, so consider this your personal invitation to join our team. We guarantee you’ll feel better knowing that your time and talents are making a difference to some lost, unwanted, frightened, or forgotten cat, kitten, dog or puppy who resides within our community. We also think you’ll make new friends meeting others who care about animals.

I had someone set off 6 kittens on the road behind my house last Thursday. They all made it to my house last Sunday. I have put them up and been caring for them ever since. I estimate their age to be about 10 weeks old. They are all males. I have 4 cats of my own, so I cannot keep these little ones. I have contacted the local rescues and they are at max capacity. I have posted them and have had no luck. Can you help me?
Thank you,

I have a friend who has to give up her kitties. She's going through divorce and can't have them where she is. Her ex doesn't want them. She's broken hearted. Can she bring them to you without fear of euthanization?

I am looking for someone to adopt my two dogs. I have a blind boston terrier who is 7 years old, she is a sweet dog but sudden moves scare her and she would have to go to a home that doesn't have children or other animals. The other one is a pug/boston mix. He is 5 years old, very energetic, great with kids, but needs training. I hate to have to give them up, but as of March 18th I will be homeless and cannot care for them. It isn't fair to them and I want them to go to loving homes. Thank you so much.
Hello, I have about 15 cats that my mother has left me with, she passed back 10-5-15 and I am trying to find these guys homes as I just can't afford to keep them. I don't know anything about their shots or anything like that, mother handled all those so never asked. Most are all healthy, outside of normal bits of cold which I'm trying to treat as best I can, and 8 are still considered kittens. I should like to find some homes for these cats and not have them go to a place where they will be killed within a few days due to not being adopted. Email is [email protected] and I do thank anyone who is willing to take these guys in. I'm located in Welcome NC and hope there are a few good homes looking for a nice cat.
My brother died recently, leaving behind 18 cats. We are able to keep 4 but need homes for the other fourteen, all of which have been spayed or neutered. We are most concerned about the five cats that have FIV. They are small and sweet and well-behaved and are our favorites. Please help! You can contact me at [email protected]. Thank you!
Can someone please help me? I have two cats that need a home immediately. Recently I have had to take custody of my 1 year old grand daughter and she is allergic to cats. The poor baby stays sick all the time, and on top of this she also has asthma, which makes it worst for her. PLEASE I do not want to have them killed. If someone would just take pity, and take these cats, I would be so grateful. Please help. My email is [email protected]. Thank you and God Bless.
Hello i have a 12 year old male boxer he is the best dog i have ever had. Unfortunately i cant keep him and i refuse to put him to sleep. I think he has arthritis in one of his back legs and he does have seasonal allergies (itching)but other wise healthy. He is house broken sweet good with children he isnt very fond of grown male dogs but little dogs are ok. I really hate to give him away but i dont have a choice. I just want him to have a good home.
We have a Rabbit named Oreo that my daughter took in because her friend had gotten a new dog who is aggressive. Since Oreo has been in our house, my daughter's allergies have come back full force and she has been quite sick... we need to find a new home for oreo asap.. Please let me know if anyone is interested. she is sweet and lets you hold and pet her and is really a sweet calm rabbit, just not a good fit in our house with two kids who have animal hair allergies.
