Fall River shelter getting constant calls from owners looking to surrender their dogs
There are too many dogs that need a home in the Fall River area or their current owner’s either can’t or doesn’t want to take care of them anymore. But you can help.
Forever Paws Animal Shelter on Lynwood Street is still reeling from taking in 21 dogs that were seized in a New Bedford animal cruelty case less than a month ago.
They are also dealing with another issue.
The shelter says they are getting DAILY calls from owners looking to surrender their dogs. Unfortunately, they can’t take any of those dogs in until their current dogs are adopted out because they have a lot of them which includes:
