Dorchester Paws Summerville, South Carolina

Nice establishment withbgreat staff who always are nice. Helpful. Volunteer or donate if you can. Pretty pets kittens and dogs

They provided additional info on my dog and his personality while under their care--so appreciative.

They picked up my brown dog put a picture of and when I called about my dog and was tryna figure out why it cost so much to get my dog back they hug up on me and won't answer none of my phone calls and know I'm worrying about how ima get the money to get her out and they don't care that's my dog ????

We initially fostered then later adopted our pitbull mix, Winter, from Dorchester Paws in 2020. I can't say enough nice things about Mollie and her team. Everyone we ran into during any step of this process was genuine and caring. DP is a wonderful place to find a pet to give a forever home to.

My son and I love going here to walk the puppies and play with the kittens. Everyone was very nice and helpful.

Was clean and animals happy and well cared for

I got my big ol' boy here today. I guess I'm his retirement home? My other dogs get along with him. He's a pretty easy going old dude and a sweet dog♥️. The foster lady who had him before I adopted took good care of him and it was a smooth transition.

Dropped off kennel cage. Friendly and clean.

Fabulous the work the do for the fur babies who don't have a home is awesome. Remember them when looking for a pet or make a donation to help them out.

Pet food pantry really helps

My family got greeted upon walking in. We said we were interested in possibly adopting 2 cats. Employee said they're to the right and left. So, we explored. Meeting the cats via paw touch through the 4x4 cage, petting ears, getting hissed at, pawed at.. We fell in love with a brother and sister set. We requested to hold them and fill out an application. It was approved, I was asked about some bloodtests, they were negative. They are neuered and spayed, vaccinated, litter trained, microchipped Adorable, great with my kids, playful, happy! I prepared my children before we came to the adoption center, what we MAY expect....it went well. The only thing I would suggest is....send the parents of the new furbabies some sort of what to expect. I knew we had to get a carrier to bring them home. But I had no idea what to do after they got home, besides a litter box, food and water. I was Like....now, should I place them in a small room while they sleep to get the idea of a heater/ac running?....the knowledge of being able to roam freely. ????‍♀️ I was not sure....so they just tookover my livingroom.???? It's all good though. They are a hoot! I hope to adopt again. And I live the satisfaction of helping Dorchester paws and these little ones.

They ate so caring for animals!

The volunteers were do helpful. Not just to me but to everyone that came through the door.

Went to adopt a dog today and found a little one . While filling out the form the young lady took the flyer and when she brought it back the price went up $150 . Call back asked to speak to the director and she got an attitude about the situation and still haven’t heard from the director. . I hate it for the little dog who lost a loving home today cause of her . Sorry snoopy !!

They were busy but attentive to everyone. Wonderful people who truly care about the animals.

Great place … great staff.. great animal rescue

I know they are trying, but I find most pet adoption kennels sad. This one is clean beyond belief, & the staff is helpful. Most of the dogs I saw were large, & if that's your thing you will be happy. I'm in a wheelchair & couldn't handle a big dog, so they had nothing for me.

I left my information at the desk so someone would contact me regarding a sudden litter of kittens that I now have in my house. Have not heard back from anybody as of today..

People love their chicken sandwiches. I had southwest salad, it was great.

We adopted ???? star and intend to foster Molly and a cat. We first went because they normally charge crazy prices and had advertised a "name your price" pet due to over crowding on Saturday and sunday. There were select pets that were qualified as name your price others were normally priced. We went on Saturday. Sunday they were closed to honor someone which i thought was nice but misleading. We ended up falling hard for star and paying over the $150. For her in addition to the $25. Charge for a matching collar and leash. Overall I'm conflicted. Felt lured under false pretenses but thrilled with our new pet.

were we got our puppy

Great shelter! Clean and friendly staff/volunteers. Lots of pups and kittens waiting for new homes! #adoptdontshop

Great place to get a pet.

Had to take a stray cat i found there. Really hoping he gets adopted or they contact me if he needs to be put down so I can be there for him. Very sad. :( He is such a sweet boy.

Everyone was kind helpful I've been looking for a small older dog but I didn't find one so I'm going to keep going there I recommended they were also doing name-your-own-price and you can start out at five bucks which I thought was incredible it's really a nice place to go and I'm going to keep going until I find me a dachshund

The staff was very friendly when we came in to adopt. The facility looked clean, however it did smell, but it's a rescue. There was around 20 dogs at the facility and a huge selection of cats. The adoption fee was a little high for a rescue, in my opinion. Unfortunately, we had to return our dog, which for the price we paid and the distance we drove, was not an easy decision. The fee was non-refundable, which they do tell you upfront. But, it took a long time (days) to get a hold of someone on the phone to schedule a drop off. I never received a return call, but eventually got ahold of someone about 30 mins before close of business. The actual drop off process took about 15 mins. Also, if you have the animal longer than 30 days there is a fee to bring them back. Hope this helps.

I have adopted 4 pets from here. They are a very helpful organization too stray animals. They are also always in need of donations from the community.

They were eager to help me make a selection on an adoption of a pet. Knowledgeable staff. Clean facility.

GREAT PLACE TO FIND YOU A NICE PET

Kitties, kitties, pups, and more kitties!
