Giving Back: Donation Items Needed for Dorchester Paws

Dorchester Paws is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is a no-kill shelter in Dorchester County. All animals are vaccinated, microchipped, spayed or neutered before being adopted to their "furever" homes. This amazing shelter educates potential pet owners on how to successfully integrate a new member of their family into their home, by understanding the unique stress that animal ownership comes with both the new pet owner and the animal.

If you already have a pet and you are in need of some low-cost options to help spay or neuter your pet, microchip your pet, get your pet's vaccinations, or nail trimming, look no further than Dorchester Paws. They also have a Pet Food Pantry which helps those who are in need to assist in feeding their pets.
