Michael’s Healing Heart Fund
Our emergency medical fund was established in honor of Michael, a severely burned and emaciated dog who came to our shelter. This fund is used to care for all the injured, abused and neglected animals that come through our doors on a daily basis. Donate today to ensure they have a second chance to go on the journey from victim to victory.
Neutering Your Pets Makes Them Less Nuts
Each year, over 3,200 animals come to Dorchester Paws. Before these dogs and cats move to the adoption floor, each is spayed/neutered. There is a hard cost associated with each surgery, and therefore, to continue our life-saving work, we still need funds to operate the Spay/Neuter Clinic.
Our goal is to open this spay/neuter clinic to the public to serve as a low-cost resource for our community. Through Petco Foundation grant funding, we’re part of the way there, but we need YOU to make this a reality.
Make a difference – give today.
