Save A Life
Adopting from an animal shelter not only gives a deserving animal a home, it opens up space for other homeless animals to be given shelter. By helping one homeless animal you help them all.

Save $
Adopting from an animal shelter is typically far less expensive than buying from a breeder or pet store. Adopted animals are also typically already neutered and vaccinated. Delaware SPCA adoptions include neutering, microchipping, rabies & distemper vaccinations and a complimentary wellness exam at a participating veterinarian.

Support Responsible Pet Ownership
Most shelter organizations also actively promote local spay/neuter or vaccination clinics or other resources. The Delaware SPCA hosts annual rabies vaccination clinics and ongoing low-cost spay/neuter clinics.

Adoption saves lives and helps your community. If you are thinking about getting a new pet please consider the wonderful animals at your local shelter.
