On 7/8/24 Forever Paws was called upon to handle a large cruelty case from the City of New Bedford. The case consisted of a total of 21 dogs,13 Cane Corso's weighing 100lbs on average, and the remaining 8 were Bulldog mixes-all being held in a third floor apartment. They presented with skin infections and ear infections, as well as being covered in urine and feces. Many of the dogs required specialty surgeries such as soft palate surgery, a caudectomy (screw tail),stenotic nares surgery, Cleft palate surgery, and multiple dogs needing Entropion surgery. Many of these dogs will have lifelong medical issues. 

Despite all of this-these dogs were absolutely amazing and majority of them have moved on to their forever homes. This could not have been done without the support of this entire community and all of our followers.

 

Thank You to Anchor Animal Hospital, Village Veterinary Hospital and Chase Farm Veterinary Hospital for taking on all of these animals on top of their already full schedules.
 

A very special Thank you to the Fairhaven Animal Shelter who took in 5 dogs, and the Scituate Animal Shelter who took in 4, and Furget Me Not who took 1 dog. Shelters  working together to help each other and the animals is something that is necessary now more than ever and we are so appreciative to continue these relationships. 

We are forever grateful.
