The mission of the Delaware Humane Association (Wilmington, Delaware 19801) is to act as a voice for companion animals and to enhance their welfare by providing temporary shelter, spay/neuter services, humane education programs, and adoption/placement resources.
DHA is committed to providing for the needs of homeless dogs and cats in the community. Serving over 5,000 companion animals annually through direct intervention and many more through advocacy, DHA continues to promote the humane values of protection, care, and compassion for all living things. It envisions a future where all people and their pets live healthy, happy, and long lives together.
Each year, hundreds of animals come to DHA in search of a warm bed, good meal, and most importantly, a new home. Its dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to ensure that each animal receives the best care possible during his/her stay at the adoption shelter. DHA is committed to preparing all adoptable dogs and cats for a new home by keeping them well-groomed, giving them daily exercise and affection, and providing obedience training and any necessary medical care.
DHA serves the community by offering low-cost vaccination clinics, educational workshops, and affordable spay/neuter services. It receives no government funding, and relies on the support of the community in the form of volunteers, private donations, bequests, fundraising events, and its popular Guardian Angel Program.
