Throughout the week, shelters, rescue groups, and humane organizations across the state will be hosting 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 adoption days, R.E.A.D. dog programs in libraries, tabling for the farm animals and therapy dogs visiting hospitals along with nursing homes. Exciting Earth Day events will be taking place during the week underscoring our need to protect the planet.
