Dorchester Paws is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We are the only open-admission animal shelter serving Dorchester County, South Carolina. We take in the lost, abandoned and abused animals of our county and provide them with food, shelter, and medical care until they find their forever homes. Before adoption, every animal is spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. The demand for our services has increased exponentially even though our funding has not kept pace. Every dollar helps our small but mighty organization carry out its life-saving mission!
