Welcome to Duncan Hears with me, Dr. Nancy Duncan, as I interview some of the best independent businesses and most interesting local people the South Coast has to offer!

This week, it is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Arianna Silva, Director of Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.

Arianna has done some amazing things with this shelter, bringing the community to help with the dogs - keeping the animals and people who exercise them fit and healthy, and arranging innovative fundraising initiatives.

In addition, she's trained some crackerjack staff. Forever Paws does its job wholly for the love of the animals and not for the money, but every little bit helps keep the animals healthy, stimulated, and happy until they find their forever homes.

We hope you enjoy this fantastic, insightful chat.

If you want to become a volunteer, adopt a pet, or donate, visit their website at www.foreverpaws.com.
