Washington | July 8, 2010 - Last week, I had the opportunity to visit and tour the Kent County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).  Kent County SPCA Outreach Director Mary Ann D'Amato explained that, during the summer months, more animals tend to be in need of rescue and shelter and many of our shelters, like the Kent County SPCA, are facing shortages with regard to food and supplies.  The Kent County SPCA is in the midst of a donation drive to fill the critical need for food and supplies for the animals in the shelter, as well as to supplement their "Pet Pantry," available to owners in tough financial situations who need food for their pets.

I was happy to help bring awareness to their important cause of caring for animals whose owners can no longer do so, as well as stray pets, and was equally pleased to be able to make a donation myself.  There is a critical need to help the SPCA through food, supplies, and adoption, and I hope you can join me in doing so.  Donations of food stuffs and supplies, including gently used items like towels, leashes, and toys, can be dropped off at any of the following SPCA locations:

New Castle County SPCA: 455 Stanton Christiana Road, Newark, DE 19713
Kent County SPCA: 32 Shelter Circle, Camden, DE 19934.
Sussex County SPCA: 22918 Dupont Highway, Georgetown, DE 19947

If you have any questions about this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me, the Kent County SPCA, or Delaware SPCA.
