Forsyth County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
Forsyth County Animal Shelter’s mission to provide a safe haven to stray, injured, and homeless pets within Forsyth County. The animal shelter shall follow a “socially conscious” model where the largest impact for the community and their animals can only happen through collaborative efforts and relationships throughout the community. We will foster a culture of transparency, ethical decision making, mutual respect, continual learning and collaboration.
Every effort will be made to place healthy & safe animals either in adoptive homes or transfer out to partner organizations and sister shelters. The health, medical and behavioral needs of every animal in our care will be assessed and treated to alleviate suffering. We will make appropriate euthanasia decisions which are well thought out, transparent and considers the “quality of life” and ensures the welfare of each individual animal.
We will align shelter policies with the needs of our community which are inclusive and representative of the diverse voices in our community. Finally, we will promote responsible pet ownership in our community.
