Adoption Overview
You’re off to a great start looking for your new best friend at the Delaware Humane Association!
Here are a few things you should know:
 |
DHA is a no kill shelter; we do not euthanize to make room for more animals. Our intake policy is based on a behavioral and health evaluation of each animal which must be scheduled in advance.
|
|
DHA has approximately 30 dogs and over 80 cats available for adoption at any given time. You can view our available pets
online or visit them in person at our A Street facility in
Wilmington.
|
|
We also place one or more adoptable animals at local area satellite adoption centers.
|
|
Our trained staff will be happy to help you find the best pet match for your
family.
|
|
We encourage you to review our adoption process
and print a pre-adoption application online.
|
|
Adoption fees vary based on type of pet and age, and adopters over 60 years of age are eligible for a senior citizen discount.
|
|
Out-of-state adopters are welcome!
|
|
We offer positive reinforcement dog training classes to help set you and your pet up for success.
|
|
We're proud of our adoption success stories! |
