Animal Rescues in Delaware

As the First State, Delaware has a proud tradition of civic engagement that extends to its animal welfare community, with rescue organizations serving Wilmington, Dover, and communities throughout the small but mighty state. Despite its size, Delaware’s network of animal rescues and shelters works in close coordination with neighboring Mid-Atlantic states to help more animals find loving homes through adoption. Whether you’re near the beaches of Rehoboth or the suburbs of New Castle County, shelter animals across Delaware are ready to meet their new families.
