Animal Shelter

Welcome to Forsyth County Animal Shelter, the only open admission shelter for Forsyth County. We are dedicated to rescuing, reuniting, and rehoming animals in Forsyth County. We do not turn any animal in need away regardless of breed, age, medical condition, or temperament. The shelter provides housing, care, and medical treatment to domestic stray, lost, abandoned, sick, injured, and surrendered animals.

The Forsyth County Animal Shelter is a humane organization that works tirelessly with the most vulnerable population of animals in our county. Our shelter prides itself on providing a “Fear Free” environment for the animals we care for.  Since we are an open admission shelter, as opposed to a select admissions shelter, the animals we care for sometimes have more challenges medically, behaviorally, or are older in age.  Thanks to partnerships across the country and through innovative adoption programming, the FCAS is able create positive outcomes for many of these animals.
