At Lighthouse Animal Shelter, an all volunteer, 501(c)3 organization,\xa0we promote the welfare of animals at risk of euthanasia. We also work with the community to maximize efforts in reducing pet overpopulation. We rescue our dogs from high-intake shelters down south (the majority being from Kentucky, South Carolina & North Carolina) and get them transported to our New Bedford shelter for adoption. The cats in our care are all local strays or surrenders and are generally adults to seniors.
