Forever Paws Animal Shelter gives animals a renewed leash on life by assisting them while homeless, in danger, or generally in need. We are the contracted shelter for the City of Fall River, the City of New Bedford, and the Town of Westport. We house and care for all the stray animals in these areas, as well as animals surrendered by their owners. Our mission is to re-home animals in an ethically positive way that is beneficial to the overall well-being of the animal and our community.
All potential adopters must fill out an Adoption Application. All applications will be checked completely. Homeownership, landlord, veterinary references etc will be checked during the process. Animal are NOT adopted on a "first come, first served" basis. Animals will be matched with the best adopter for their individual needs. All adopters will be required to sign an Adoption Contract before bringing a new pet home. Before consideration for adoption, all animals are evaluated by staff for obvious signs of health and/or behavior problems; however, the shelter cannot guarantee the health or temperament of any animal.
