DPR Mission Statement

 

Delaware Pet Rescue's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find loving adopters for homeless pets. 

 

The History of DPR :    
 

Delaware Pet Rescue was established in 2004 as “Delaware Puppy Rescue” with the primary focus of rescuing pregnant dogs, mothers with new litters, and homeless puppies from shelters.  In 2006, we expanded to the rescue of puppy mill survivors. 2012 brought the expansion into cat and kitten rescue, and the subsequent renaming of our organization to Delaware Pet Rescue, to better reflect the variety of lives we save. In 2020, we started to include small animals in our program as well - mostly guinea pigs, but also some rabbits and hamsters sprinkled in too!
