🤩 Happily ever after alert ➡️ Meet Dawg! 🐾🐶

Dawg came to us in February 2024. He made himself well known with his sweet and playful personality and quickly captured the hearts of everyone at Forsyth Humane Society.

His story is filled with so much love, but it did not come without its challenges! Click through the pictures to learn more about Dawg.

The 40,000 lights shining beautifully outside our building honor the 40,000 animals we've cared for since opening these doors in 2016. These lights represent hope, love, and the second chances we have created for animals in need. ️

➡️ This holiday season, we invite you to dedicate a light to a pet you love—a cherished companion, a memory of a beloved pet, or one of the many animals still waiting for their forever home. Your dedication helps us continue to care for animals in need and gives them hope for a brighter future. ✨

We had a truly amazing time at our Lights of Hope Festival, presented by Blaze Air, last Friday night! ✨

Seeing the community come together to honor the animal that have been in our care and support Forsyth Humane Society in such a powerful way was truly heartwarming. It was a magical evening filled with beautiful lights, delicious food, great company, and so much love. ❤️

THANK YOU to all the organizations and sponsors who made this event possible. Your support means the world to us and helps us continue our mission to provide hope and second chances to the animals who need it most. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Thank you for helping us light up the night and bring joy to so many. 🌟 If you couldn’t make it to the event but would still like to support, consider dedicating a light to an animal you love.

Forsyth Humane Society would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department Animal Services for collaborating with us on this crucial PSA about Cold Weather Care for Outdoor Animals.

Together, we’re raising awareness and ensuring that all pets in our community stay safe and warm during the chilly months ahead.

Your commitment to animal welfare inspires us, and we’re proud to support you in this effort.

Thank you for being such incredible partners in our efforts to put compassion into action!

Meet Ballerina! 🩰

Help us find this tiny dancer her perfect home for the holidays (and FOREVER!) 🩷 Here's what you need to know about her ⬇️

🐾 She's a 2-year-old, 26 lb tripod!
🐾 She has lots of energy and loves to explore outside
🐾 She also likes to lounge around, play with her toys, and snuggle with her people
🐾 She does well with other dogs and children
🐾 She walks well on a leash (but looooves to sniff)
🐾 She's housebroken and crate-trained but might be anxious at first as she gets to know your schedule

Ballerina would be a wonderful fit for an active family or in a home where she can run around and get plenty of exercise.

If you think she'd be a great fit for your home, apply to adopt her at forsythhumane.org/adopt/dogs, or come meet her at 4881 Country Club Rd. She would love to see you!

Meet Olive, a 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog with a big heart, sharp mind, and playful spirit. 🐾 When she arrived at Forsyth Humane Society in late June, she was in devastating condition—emaciated and weighing just 19 pounds. But Olive's journey was far from over. ⬇️

Our dedicated medical team immediately stepped in, starting her on a carefully monitored refeeding plan. We also partnered with Forsyth County Sheriff's Animal Service Division on a cruelty investigation regarding her condition. Despite her past hardships, Olive's gentle and loving spirit never wavered. After two months of recovery and care in a wonderful foster home—where she learned new tricks and rediscovered joy—Olive met her perfect match.

Today, Olive is thriving in her forever home, where she’s gained 23 pounds and endless love. 🥳 Her family treasures her affectionate personality, playful quirks, and resilience, reminding us why second chances matter.

Swipe through to hear what Olive’s mom says about her new life. 🫒❤️

➡️ Stories like Olive’s are only possible with your support. Help us continue changing lives and giving second chances this holiday season by donating to Forsyth Humane Society at forsythhumane.org/donate-now or using the "Donate" link in our bio.
