Dorchester Paws
Dorchester Paws strives to instill humane principles into society through the prevention of cruelty to animals. They are committed to ending unnecessary euthanasia and giving every animal a second chance; combating pet overpopulation by encouraging spaying and neutering; championing responsible pet ownership through public education; feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless and protecting the abused; and reuniting lost pets with their families and finding homes for strays.
