Fall River’s Most Popular Dog Names

Millions of people took in pets during the pandemic, leading to more animal owners here on the SouthCoast.

And more people finding names for their new four-legged friends.

As with all cities and towns in Massachusetts, SouthCoast pets must be licensed where they will live. State law requires all pet owners to get a license for their dog each year and there are serious fines for those who don't comply.
