*Forever Paws Animal Shelter*

On July 8th 2024, New Bedford Animal Control seized 21 dogs from a home in New Bedford, MA. These dogs, 12 cane corsos and 9 bulldog mixes, were kept in deplorable conditions. It was well over 100 degrees in the attic and the third floor apartment where these dogs were kept and they were covered in feces and urine. They are now being cared for by staff at Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.

These dogs came in with urine burns, pressure sores, overgrown nails, wounds both fresh and in various stages of healing, skin conditions, and various infections. Tatum needs to be neutered and heartworm tested prior to adoption and also needs entropion surgery.

These dogs, despite the situation that they came from, have not shown any aggression. Some are understandably fearful, most of them have no idea what to do with human interaction and have no idea how to handle affection. They clearly want to be loved and many of them will crawl right into our laps and tuck themselves under our chins. They are all so, so deserving of a second chance.

As a non-profit that runs strictly off of donations, we were not prepared for an undertaking of this scale but we're determined to do right by every single one of these dogs. Many of them are large breeds (~100lbs) so spays/neuters alone can be around $1k-$2k.
