Dorchester Paws, an animal shelter in Summerville has a message for the community.


"We have all fostered or adopted recently as our shelter overflows with animals" says the entire staff of Dorchester Paws. "You can too."


All 25 staff members at Dorchester Paws have recently adopted or fostered to help reduce the number of animals in the shelter.


Many members of the staff have been fostering difficult medical cases, bottle babies, older adults, & everything in-between. If they aren’t working at the shelter they are fostering at night to help animals thrive or survive overnight all on their own time.


If our staff can find their best friend & help Dorchester Paws during a busy time of year, the PUBLIC can too!


$25 adoption fees for adult cats and dogs. $50 for kittens. Help to clear the shelter and save lives.
