2020 was a ruff year, especially for Dorchester Paws. That's why the Board of Directors is coming together to help raise money for the animals in need. Every year Dorchester Paws takes in nearly 4,000 animals and helps to give them a second chance, but we can't do it without support! It costs us an average of $35 to provide the first day of care for a single healthy animal that comes into our shelter. Unfortunately, as an open admission shelter, we don't just help healthy animals, but also care for the severely emaciated, badly mangled, and neglected animals. Your donation will ensure that helpless neonate kittens get the life-saving formula they need come kitten season and that the dogs that come in with embedded collars and chains have the chance to know what a warm bed and full belly feel like.
