Lighthouse Animal Shelter is a temporary home for the underdogs! We rescue dogs from high intake shelters in southern states who would otherwise be euthanized due to limited space and no fault of their own.

We also care for feral cats, cat owner surrenders, and strays.
Help the Feral Cats of New Bedford
Our Favorite Ferals
We’ll occasionally help out with feral cats in our community by assisting with trap, neuter and return projects. These two ferals snuck into our hearts and they’ve now become permanent members of the Lighthouse family. They spend each day ruling the cat room, cuddling with each other & cuddling up to the other cats.
