Forsyth Animal Shelter Waives Adoption Fee For Holidays

CUMMING, GA — If you're thinking about bringing home a four-legged friend for the holidays, the Forsyth County Animal Shelter wants to make it easier, and cheaper.

The shelter is waiving its standard $85 pet adoption fee through Jan. 2.

"No one wants to think about a pet spending the holidays in a shelter, which is why we are hoping this special promotion will encourage residents to bring home a cat or dog to be a part of their family," said shelter Manager Cindy Iacopella. "All of the pets at the shelter deserve a good home, especially this time of the year. By taking advantage of this promotion, residents can not only save money but more importantly give a new life to these wonderful animals."

The shelter’s adoption fee includes microchipping for all pets, spaying or neutering and age-appropriate vaccinations.
The shelter is located just off of Ga. 400 at 4065 County Way in northern Forsyth County. It offers animal adoptions Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

The shelter will be closed on Monday, Dec. 25 and Tuesday, Dec. 26 for Christmas ands Monday, Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day.

In addition to seeking homes for all of the animals in their care, the Forsyth County Animal Shelter is always looking for volunteers, those willing to foster animals and donations of items such as pet food, toys and bedding.
