Delaware SPCA & the City of Wilmington

Since 1898 the Delaware SPCA has been contracted by the city of Wilmington to handle animal control duties within city limits.

Much has changed in the 100+ years that the Delaware SPCA has been serving the city. One thing that has not changed is the Delaware SPCA's commitment to the safety and welfare of Wilmington's animal and human residents.
