Free State Spay Days for Delaware Pet Owners Announced by Humane Animal Partners
Humane Animal Partners, in partnership with Delaware’s Office of Animal Welfare, has announced two Free State Spay Days this month in New Castle County. The program is designed to help Delaware residents who qualify for low income assistance programs access essential veterinary care for their pets at no cost.
The upcoming events will take place at two Humane Animal Partners locations. The first Free State Spay Day is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10 at the Humane Animal Partners Wilmington facility located at 701 A Street in Wilmington. Pet owners can call 302.571.0111 to schedule an appointment.
A second Free State Spay Day will be held Friday, March 20 at the Humane Animal Partners Stanton and Christiana location at 455 Stanton Christiana Road in Newark. Appointments for that clinic can be scheduled by calling 302.998.2281.
These appointments are available for owned dogs and cats and include a free rabies vaccination as part of the service. The program is open to Delaware residents who participate in any state or federal assistance program. No additional application is required. Residents simply need to call the location where they would like to schedule the appointment and bring proof of assistance, such as an Annual Proof of Benefits letter, when they arrive.
Organizers say the goal of Free State Spay Days is to make spaying and neutering more accessible to families who may not otherwise be able to afford the procedure. Expanding access to these services helps address pet overpopulation in a humane and responsible way while supporting families who want to care for their animals.
“This partnership with the Office of Animal Welfare allows us to remove one of the biggest barriers to responsible pet ownership: cost,” said Patrick Carroll, chief executive officer of Humane Animal Partners. “By offering free spay and neuter services to qualifying Delaware residents, we’re helping families care for the pets they love while also reducing pet overpopulation across our state. It’s a proactive investment in healthier animals and stronger communities.”
Humane Animal Partners was formed through the merger of the Delaware Humane Association and the Delaware SPCA. The organization focuses on connecting people with animals while strengthening communities and preventing cruelty. Its work includes sheltering and adopting homeless pets, reducing pet overpopulation through spay and neuter programs, and providing affordable wellness services that help families keep their pets healthy and at home.
Delaware residents interested in participating in the Free State Spay Days are encouraged to call one of the Humane Animal Partners locations to schedule an appointment.
