On Wednesdays, we talk about animals.
Fun 107’s Wet Nose Wednesday is all about giving the stage to the animals on the SouthCoast that are up for adoption. I have teamed up with shelters in the area and our goal is to get as many pets as adopted as possible.
Every pet deserves love and a place to call home. We have had a few success stories, but our work here is not done. This week, let me introduce you to Olaf.
He’s an all-white bunny who is about one year old and currently lives at the Fairhaven Animal Shelter. Before he found shelter, Olaf was having a rough time. Terry Cripps, the director of the shelter, tells me that Olaf was dumped in the woods on West Island last month.

Have you been seeing a lot of foxes lately? No need to panic. Here’s why they may be popping up in your backyard or being spotted out and about.
On my way into work this week, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of roadkill on the side of the highway. It was seemingly more than usual, and it always seemed to resemble a dog. I started to notice reports online of frequent fox sightings and that’s when I realized that these poor animals are the victims of the fast cars on the road.
Why are they traveling out more and why are they getting comfortable in residential backyards?
Sold and unwanted: Sheba and Winter s heartbreaking life
Sheba and Winter’s life before the shelter is heartbreaking. Winter has a microchip and was traced back to where she came from a Rhode Island residence. The shelter contacted the original owner and learned from him that the dogs had been sold online to a family in New Bedford.
“The original owner didn’t want them back,” Cripps said.
And if that wasn’t heartbreaking enough, the story gets worse.
It seems the new owners of Sheba and Winter in New Bedford moved away and either released the dogs or they got lose when the family moved. It’s unknown when this happened, and just how long the two dogs had been wandering around New Bedford scrounging for food and shelter, before being taken off the streets last spring.
