Delaware is a wonderful haven for cats and dogs! The small Mid-Atlantic U.S. state has become the first and only no-kill state for shelter animals in the United States. Simply put, even when the shelter is full, the no-kill animal shelter in Delaware does not kill healthy or treatable animals.
Sadly, with the lack of homes and the pet overpopulation problem, every year, an estimated 733,000 homeless cats and dogs were euthanized in America’s animal shelters, as per the non-profit Best Friends Animal Society. Every day, around 2,000 animals are put down simply because the shelters are overcrowded and they can’t find a forever home.
