My 3 and 5 year old and I were only planning on stopping by the shelter to show some love, but found a kitten we fell in love with! We feel so lucky, she’s beautiful, well tempered and playful. A great companion to our 1 year old cat from another shelter, and the kids. Staff was great- attentive and helpful, & prices more than reasonable. My other kitty was 4x the price at the other shelter in town. If we ever adopt again I’ll be sure to come here! Thanks for everything you do!

Adopted my dog Louie from here a few weeks ago. They had quite a few older dogs as well. For me, it was about finding the big dog that was calm and could deal with smaller dogs. Louie and my miniature schnauzer chihuahua, Poppa connected almost instantaneously. Definitely had to house train him and coached him out a lot of fears he had. But now he is almost perfect & the other grew to love him as well and he is very protective of them. Process was very easy and straight forward. There's always special deals going on for the older dogs (Puppies are always $300) spayed & neutered. If you're looking to for a new pup or adding one to the family please check here and rescue one of these intelligent animals.

It's always sad going to a animal shelter...but we lost our lab recently and wanted to find a new fur babie so we went to check it out. Everyone was very nice there. Lots of pups to choose from not many cats. We did come home with a super cute 5 months old puppy!

A great place to find your next dog or cat. Don't buy an animal from a breeder. Instead save one from being euthanized. You and your new pet will be super happy you did. All the employees here do a great job caring for the animals. I highly recommend this place for your next animal.

I had a wonderful experience adopting my dog from Dorchester Paws and highly recommend checking them out if you are looking for a new furry friend! The young ladies who work at the front desk were extremely kind and took the time to chat with me and recommend the right dog for my lifestyle. I was able to meet a few dogs and they gave me plenty of time to ask questions and make my final decision. I participated in their “foster to adopt” program that allows you to take the dog/cat home and effectively foster them for a week or two before finalizing the adoption. I appreciated this because I have other animals at home and needed to make sure everybody got along. The staff was responsive to email during this time and it was easy to finalize the adoption and access medical records virtually. I have nothing but good things to say about Dorchester Paws and I think they are a great place to go if you are looking for a new pet. I visited a few other shelters in the Charleston area and had the best experience with them by far.
