Animal Rescue League of Fall River (dba) Faxon Animal Care & Adoption Center

To provide compassion, empathy, and care for animals in need while vociferously advocating for their welfare and ethical pet ownership.

By helping them when they are homeless, in danger, or simply need assistance, Forever Paws Animal Shelter provides animals a new lease on life. We serve as the contracted shelter for the municipalities of Fall River, New Bedford, and Westport. All the stray animals in these locations, as well as pets who have been turned in by their owners, are housed and cared for by us. Our goal is to rehome animals in a way that is morally right and advantageous to both the general welfare of the animal and our neighborhood.

Our goal is to give unwanted, abandoned, and stray animals in the Greater New Bedford and Fall River areas professional, humane treatment. We also campaign for the ethical treatment of animals everywhere and educate the public about animal welfare.

The Animal Rescue League is devoted to keeping animals in need safe and healthy in habitats and homes and is an uncompromising advocate for those in need.
