Give Today to Animals who need you.

We rely on the generous financial support of our community to provide care & the opportunity to have a second chance to the animals of Dorchester County. Founded in 1972, Dorchester Paws is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to improving the lives of dogs & cats that are lost, abandoned, or abused.

Dorchester Paws is NOT a county owned facility. Dorchester County government provides 13% of funding to our annual operating budget. That means we rely on donations to make up the other 87% of our budget.

We are a private shelter that takes in nearly 4,000 animals each year, with sometimes over 500 animals in our care.

Our funding goes to provide each dog & cat food, shelter, & medical attention until they find their forever home on top of other expenses. Help us care for them by donating today!

All gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
