Help Us Save Lives

Sign up for DHA’s Helping Hands Club

During the spring and summer months many orphaned or abandoned puppies and kittens are brought to the shelter. Due to their age and environmental conditions, many of these young animals are in need of special medical care to help them to become healthy and adoptable. In addition, dogs and cats of all ages come to us throughout the year with a variety of medical care special needs.

If you would like to help us to save more lives, consider signing up to become a member of DHA’s Helping Hands Club. Members are placed on a special list of people willing to assist DHA when an animal emergency arises. Club members will be asked to send $50 or more to help us care for a specific animal in need. Members typically are not contacted more than twice a year.

If you would be willing to become a member of the Helping Hands Club, send your name, address and phone number to dgrandizio@verizon.net, or mail the information to:

Delaware Humane Association
c/o Helping Hands Club
701 A Street
Wilmington, DE 19801

Your name will be put on an emergency call list. When a medical emergency arises, you will be contacted and will learn about the animal in need of your support.

With your support, we never have to say no to animals in need simply because funds are not available.
