Responsible Pet Ownership

Owning a pet can be rewarding, but it is also an emotional and financial commitment. If you are considering bringing a pet into your life, think about the commitment that pet ownership requires.

Animal Control

As of July 1, 2006, the city of Wilmington contracted its animal control to the Stanton SPCA.

As a pet owner, you are expected to abide by the laws of the state of Delaware and the City of Wilmington with regards to the proper care and control of your pets. If you own a pet, you can be held criminally and civilly liable for that animal’s behavior.

Below are some links to some resources that provide information about dog law in the state of Delaware and the city of Wilmington.
