The week will conclude on Sunday, April 26th. See our Calendar of Events page for more details on these and the wide array of other fabulous events - there are terrific events taking place in towns and communities across Delaware during this amazing Week for the Animals!
Throughout the week, shelters, rescue groups, and humane organizations across the state will be hosting other wonderful animal-related special events. Educators, students, businesses and caring citizens across Delaware will be joining in as well, each planning their own activities to celebrate and help animals.
Events will include adoption fairs, spay/neuter awareness events, shelter beautification days, R.E.A.D. dog programs in libraries, walks for the farm animals and therapy dogs visiting hospitals and nursing homes.
Also to be included are a salute to our canine military and police dogs, feral cat initiatives, animal law events, special programs at the zoos, blessings for the animals, and full-filled festival days for families to come and enjoy food, music and the amazing animals!
