The Delaware Humane Association celebrated the completed renovation of its Rehoboth Beach adoption center April 1. The DHA first opened its Midway location in August 2017.

The renovations were done with the animals in mind. For the dogs, neutral colors, smaller kennel rooms and other modifications help keep them from being any more agitated than needed. A small, fenced-in area behind the adoption center has also been installed for the dogs. For the cats, an innovative air circulation system keeps fresh air moving in the isolation cages.

The renovation is complete, but the center is still operating by appointment only. Interested parties can visit delawarehumane.org and complete an online adoption application. Adoption counselors will review each submission and reach out directly to schedule socially distant appointments.

For more information on DHA’s Rehoboth location, 18675 Coastal Hwy., Suite 8, call 302-200-7159 or go to delawarehumane.org/Rehoboth.

The DHA’s local adoption center is located at 18675 Coastal Hwy., Suite 8. Shown in front of the center are (l-r) adoption center assistant Trevor Force, volunteer Jim Stefanelli, volunteer Allan Doonan, animal care staff member Snowe Ebelen, animal care staff member Chelsi McRoberts, manager Meg Searcey, staff member Daniel Condoluci-Smith, and Executive Director Patrick Carroll. Kneeling are shelter projects manager Steph Carter and marketing manager Cory Topel.
Cats can sleep anywhere.
The private rooms have been redone.
An outdoor play area has been installed for the dogs.
The cat cages have an air circulation system set up to provide fresh air when isolation is needed. The air enters via the PVC pipe in the left section of the cage and exits through the vent on the right.
