Who we are

Delaware SPCA and Delaware Humane Association (DHA) recently made the exciting announcement that they plan to merge! The combined organization will continue to offer adoption, low-cost veterinary services, and spay/neuter at our facility in Stanton/Christiana; the new entity will also include DHA’s current sites in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach. The combination of our two strong organizations will allow us to grow programs and services, ultimately helping even more animals and people.

The Fast & the Furriest 5K will be our first event together! Join us to celebrate and help us raise funds to support our lifesaving services. We welcome all involvement, whether you choose to participate by running or walking, supporting us with a corporate sponsorship or individual donation, or setting up a vendor table at the event!
