Spay / Neuter

Many of us who love animals are all too aware of the problem of pet overpopulation, which causes large numbers of puppies and kittens to be "put down" or starve on the streets.

An unspayed female cat and an unneutered male and their descendents
could produce 20,736 cats in just 4 years.

An unspayed female dog and her mate and their descendents
could produce 67,000 dogs in just 6 years

We Can Help

We'd like to ensure that every young puppy or kitten in our community is a wanted pet, not a "surplus" life to be tossed away. Spaying and neutering is the key to this, and we're glad to provide financial assistance for that, if needed.

If you, a friend, neighbor, or relative who is a Forsyth County resident and could use help in taking this step, please print off the application form in English or Spanish, fill it out and send it to us. If eligible, we will send you a voucher to have your animal(s) spayed or neutered at no charge to you.

If you are interested in adopting an animal from the FHS, please note that all animals adopted from the FHS are spayed or neutered as a condition of adoption.
