Dorchester Paws is emergency seizing 30 dogs from a property

Emergency efforts are in place. The community is needed to help free up kennel space as the shelter doesn’t have enough space to accommodate.

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. –

Over 30 dogs have just been found living in deplorable conditions, from a house in Dorchester County. Staff at Dorchester Paws are on the scene now seizing these dogs.

Upon arrival, dogs were found living in their own filth, locked in crates inside and outside, tied to trees with heavy chains, in crates that were too small for them and some.

The majority of the dogs NEED serious medical attention and our team will be working throughout the day to help them as they arrive at our shelter. Some have been found to be in end-stage heartworm disease.

Our shelter will do everything possible to help these animals but we need our community to step up.

FOSTER

We do NOT have space for the 30 dogs. We have 15 kennels that are open. EMERGENCY FOSTERS NEEDED FOR DOGS IN OUR CARE. We do not want any animal to be living in a pop up crate. If the public can foster, they can come tomorrow 8am-5pm. Fosters needed for as long as they can commit.
