The 1st annual Delaware Week for the Animals will be held from April 19 - 27, 2008. Across the state, exciting events will take place to pay respect to the animals who add so much enrichment and love to the human experience. Humane organizations and compassionate citizens from every part of Delaware will be joining in this celebration. Everyone is encouraged to participate and plan their own events.
