“The dogs have been seen by a veterinarian and are all doing well,” said Forsyth County Animal Shelter Manager Jeanie Curphey. “We look forward to finding each of them a forever home.”

The dogs have been at the shelter since they were taken from the home on Franklin Goldmine Road. A court order on March 24 allowed the shelter to begin the process of preparing the animals for adoption.

All of the dogs have been spayed and neutered and have received their rabies vaccine. They will each be microchipped upon adoption. %

“Three of the dogs removed from the residence will be available for adoption at a later date  –  two who are timid and need some extra time working with shelter staff and one who recently gave birth to puppies,” said Curphey.

Adoption fees are $85 per animal.

The Forsyth County Animal Shelter is located just off of GA 400 at 4065 County Way in northern Forsyth County. It opens Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
