Delaware SPCA Humane Law Enforcement Division

Primary statewide dog control and animal cruelty enforcement in Delaware transitioned to Delaware Animal Services within the Office of Animal Welfare (Division of Public Health) beginning with the September 16, 2015 launch following 2015 legislation. Delaware Animal Services—not a private SPCA police unit—is the state field enforcement agency for those animal-welfare laws today.
