The Forsyth County Animal Shelter is waiving adoption fees from November 18, 2023 through January 3, 2024 in their “Home for the Holidays,” promotion, according to AccessWDUN.

The promotion will be waiving the standard $85 pet adoption fee. All adoptions include microchipping for pets, altering and age-appropriate vaccinations.

“Home for the Holidays is a great time of year for families to give our wonderful animals a forever home,” said Animal Shelter Manager Cindy Lacopella.”Each of the pets at the Animal Shelter deserves a family to go home with, and we truly enjoy seeing the smiles they put on adopting families’ faces.”

Adoptions are available at the shelter Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The shelter is also inviting the public to a free Family Fun Day event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 18. Residents will be able to see adoptable pets, enjoy fun activities, and bring in their own pets for rabies vaccinations and microchipping. The shelter’s transition to a new name, The Pet Resource Center, will also be highlighted at the event.

Hugo is a young male Retriever (or Hound) mix who is available for adoption from the Forsyth County Animal Shelter in Cumming, GA.

Whiskey is an adult male Retriever mix who is available for adoption from the Forsyth County Animal Shelter in Cumming, GA.

Hey guys my name is Whiskey! I came to the Forsyth County Animal Shelter as a stray and I am looking for a new family to call my own. I like to consider myself a simple guy who appreciates the finer things in life like a nice person to cuddle up next to and a bed to call my own. Maybe I could find those things with you? I am a pretty chill dude and would love to be your new family addition. If you have kids, or other dogs I would love to meet them as I am not opposed to siblings of the human or four-legged variety.

My previous owner did not keep me on heartworm prevention, and now I have to suffer the consequences and will need to find an understanding new family that can keep me on year-round prevention and give me a calm place to hang out while I go through heartworm treatment. Don’t panic though the nice people at the Forsyth County Animal Shelter will provide ALL necessary treatment at no additional cost to you. Due to my heartworm status I fall under their Foster-To-Adopt program which means my new family DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY for treatment or veterinary care while I am going through treatment! Heartworm treatment is very safe, and the success rate is high, but they prefer for heartworm positive dogs like me to recover in a home with an adopter rather than in a stressful shelter environment. This is also a great opportunity for us to begin bonding and make sure that we are a good fit! For more information please give the Forsyth County Animal Shelter a call at 678-965-7185 or email them at Adoptions@forsythco.com.

The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia is launching a fundraising campaign, according to AccessWDUN.

“It kicks off with ‘Giving Tuesday’ where we try to raise about $30,000 in one day,” Mayfield said. “Our board matches that campaign … And then after that, it rolls into what we call our ‘PAW-liday Giving Trees’, which is more of items that the shelter needs like blankets, and bleach and food and leashes and things like that. And then we also include in that our ‘Home for the Holidays’, where we really try to get our animals out of the shelter for the holidays to relieve some stress, and maybe some Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner with the family.”

Mayfield explained that the organization hopes to use the funds and donations from the campaign to combat overpopulation within the shelter.

“We are seeing that intakes of animals are up across the nation and adoptions are down across the nation,” she emphasized. “And it’s no different for us at the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia. And so with these funds, you know, we do several things.”

Ace is a young male Labrador Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from Coffee Cause for Paws in Douglas, GA.

Ace was rescued in the nick of time. Two wire cables were tied/tangled around his back legs. This could have caused serious injuries to him. Thankfully, he has made a full recovery. He still has a slight limp and possibly a permanent scar but he doesn’t notice it, and it surely does not slow him down while playing with the other pup in the home.

Ace loves attention. He’s shy with introductions, but is a total lap baby. He’s fully vetted, neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Crate trained & leash trained. He’s a survivor and appreciative to anyone that shows him kindness. A humble pup.

Lady is a young female Hound mix puppy who is available for adoption from Coffee Cause for Paws in Douglas, GA.

Fun facts about lady:

• great with dogs of all sizes, cats, and kids
• already potty trained (prefers to potty outdoors)
• quick learner
• playful (loves her toys & to interact w/people)
• her favorite thing to do is cuddle. Especially after getting out some of her puppy playfullness.

Mae is a young female Hound mix puppy who is available for adoption from Coffee Cause for Paws in Douglas, GA.

Mae is a loving hound mix. We believe she will be medium in size once full grown. She was rescued on a lonely dirt road many months ago. A whole litter of tiny puppies found DUMPED. Luckily a good Samaritan rescued them and now CCFP would like to find the final two, Mae & Lady, a furever home.

Mae is so sweet. Playful, quiet, kind & considerate. Just a friendly pup that gets along great with any dog, cat, kid, or thing. A quick learner too. It took her no time to house train. Mae would make a wonderful addition to any household.
