Dorchester Paws, formerly known as Frances R. Willis SPCA, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in Dorchester County, South Carolina. Dorchester Paws is the only open-admission shelter in Dorchester County, and we take in every lost, abandoned and abused animal and provide them with food, shelter and medical attention until they find their forever home.

We have over 4,000 animals come into our care a year and relay on funding for 83% of our operating budget. We really need this scanner to help our admissions clinic safely and humanely scan all animals that come into our doors upon intake.
