Are You in Need of a Dog House?

Did you know?

When evening weather conditions in our area hover in the 20’s at night, your pet could suffer from hypothermia if there is not adequate shelter from the elements. In some cases when there are wet conditions, it could be a matter of hours before symptoms of hypothermia set in.

If you are a resident of Forsyth County, have an outside pet and need a dog house, we have a limited number of houses to give away! Houses for Hounds program was developed for the purpose of providing free dog houses to lower income Forsyth County residents. For more information or to request one of these free doghouses, you can visit the Animal Control website and fill out the online application form or call 703­2480 for more information.

Also, the Department of Animal Control’s Animeals program assists elderly, disabled or lower income residents of Forsyth County by offering free pet food for their cats and dogs. For more information or to send us an application for assistance, you can visit the Animal Control website and fill out the online application form or call 703­2480 for more information.
