Program areas at FRW

Adoption-we are committed to finding every adoptable animal a home. Each animal that comes to us is spayed/neutered, given vaccines, monthly preventatives and basic laboratory testing before they are put up for adoption. In addition to medical care we provide shelter, food, and training to each animal until they find a home. In 2023 we took in 4,380 animals and 2,575 of those were adopted.
Michael's healing heart- this program allows us to medically treat animals that come in with injuries or illnesses prior to placing them up for adoption.
Spay/ neuter- we are committed to ending over pet population and unnecessary euthanasia, to do that we ensure every animal is spayed or neutered before being adopted.
Community awareness- our mission is to instill humane principals into society, we do this through community education and awareness events that not only help fundraise for our operation costs, but champion responsible pet ownership. Dorchester Paws hosts three signature fundraising events a year as well as pays for booths that allow us to get out in front of our community to help get our animals adopted and spread awareness about our cause.
