Summerville, SC — Dorchester Paws has made headlines recently for its incredible efforts in evacuating all 347 animals from its shelter ahead of Hurricane Debbie. Thanks to the remarkable support from the local community, this massive operation was carried out successfully. However, the situation at the shelter remains critical.
In the weeks following the hurricane, Dorchester Paws has taken in an additional 251 animals, quickly pushing their resources to the limit. The shelter is now struggling with a severe shortage of space, and currently, seven dogs are being housed in pop-up crates due to the lack of available kennels.
The community’s response to the initial evacuation showcased the power of collective action and compassion. Now, Dorchester Paws is calling on that same spirit to address their current crisis. The shelter urgently needs foster homes to provide temporary care for these animals, which would significantly alleviate the strain on their already overwhelmed facility.
Residents interested in fostering can visit Dorchester Paws daily from 12 PM to 5 PM. To offer a temporary home to a pet in need, potential fosters can complete an application online: Foster Application.
The local support is crucial to helping Dorchester Paws continue its vital work. For more details or to get involved, contact the shelter directly at (phone number) or visit their website at Dorchester Paws.
