NORTH FORSYTH — Forsyth County’s new animal shelter is on track to open Aug. 1. Construction of the shelter, which is on County Way off Ga. 400 in north Forsyth, was funded by the voter-approved 1-cent sales tax. It will replace the county’s current shelter on Old Atlanta Road, which is operated in partnership with veterinarian Lanier Orr from Orr Animal Hospital.
