Venmo, Cryptocurrency & Donate Now, Pay Later

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. – Dorchester Paws is now accepting new payment options in hopes of reaching more donors and giving them the place they feel most comfortable donating through. 


CryptoCurrency

Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning the donor will not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This means that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto donations is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the animals of Dorchester Paws! When donors donate cryptocurrency to Dorchester Paws, the shelter immediately converts your donation to fiat which means all donations are non-refundable and cashed out immediately to help the animals. The first $2,500 donated next week will match $1 for $1!!!


Donate Now, Pay Later

By using this option, the donor chooses the amount they would like to donate, the payment plan and the pay over time! It's that easy! The first $2,500 donated next week will match $1 for $1!!!

We are excited to invite you to complete a survey that will reveal which tools employers most desire when recruiting and retaining talent. South Carolina is developing a new statewide education and workforce portal—a centralized platform to help employers connect with talent, training resources, and workforce development partners. Your input is critical in shaping the features of this portal to best meet the needs of businesses like yours. This survey will help us identify the most valuable features for employers and how the portal can complement or enhance your existing tools. Your feedback will directly influence the development and prioritization of key features. The survey is open and will close by EOB on Monday, November 10, 2025 . It should take approximately five (5) minutes to complete. SURVEY CAN BE FOUND HERE: Employer/Industry Association Survey Once you’ve completed the survey, we encourage you to share the link with others who may also be interested in providing feedback.
