Summerville, SC • Dorchester Paws

Angelo came to Dorchester Paws, an animal shelter in Summerville, SC as a stray. He was found in a ditch on the side of the road, in a rural part of our county. He was found by Animal Control. Angelo was covered in maggots, dehydrated, had debris stuck in his coat and had a degloved jaw. This is a lot for any animal, but especially since was only two months old. We do not have any information to share on this at this time since Angelo came in as a stray. We do hope to nurse him back to amazing health as we know he would be a great addition to any home and can't wait for that day for him. We will provide updates as he heals, we just do not have this information to share. Angelo is special because he was found on a side of the road, abandoned and alone. He was in horrible shape and was left to find food and shelter all on his own in this condition. Angelo is a sweet boy and really needs to have a better story. He deserves a victim to victory life and we can't wait for that! Angelo was covered in maggots, dehydrated, had debris stuck in his coat and had a degloved jaw when he came in. He is being treated by Dorchester Paws Veterinarian when Dr. Bice is on campus (she is part-time). Angelo came in last week and immediately received the care he needed and surgery to repair his degloved jaw. He is currently in foster care, healing and being given supportive care. Dorchester Paw is not a county owned facility. Our operating budget is $1.1 million dollars, and the county only provides 13% of it to help. 87% of our budget, comes from donations and grants so we can continue to care for every neglected and abandoned animals.
