ABOUT THE SHELTER

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, serving towns including Rosinville, Ridgeville, Oakbrook, St. George, Summerville, and Grover, SC. Partnering with Dorchester Code Enforcement, 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 strive to instill humane principles into society through the prevention of cruelty to animals by championing responsible pet ownership, ending unnecessary euthanasia, and ending over pet population. We are dedicated to reducing pain and fear in our community’s animals and are proud to say that our staff and volunteers are fear free certified.

Our shelter was established in 1972 by Frances R. Willis with land donated by Westvaco. Dr. Brunson Westbury and Frances R. Willis worked to get the road built and land cleared to open the facility. Over the years, the shelter has been expanded, but we continue to reach and exceed our capacity because our community is growing and the pet overpopulation crisis is not abating.

We are committed to

Ending unnecessary euthanasia and giving every animal a chance
Combating overpopulation by encouraging spaying and neutering
Championing responsible pet ownership through public education
Feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and protecting the abused
Reuniting lost pets with their families and finding homes for strays
