Delaware Puppies for Sale

Few places are as friendly to dogs and dog owners as the great state of Delaware. That’s why it’s also one of the best states in the country to buy, rescue or adopt a puppy. The Dachshund is the most popular breed in Delaware. Though, the Golden Retriever and the Boxer are not far behind. 

Whether you’re in town to find Dachshund puppies for sale or to take your Golden Retriever on an outdoor adventure, you’ll find Delaware has more than enough dog-friendly activities to keep you busy.

Yes. Dog owners are prohibited from allowing their dogs to run-at-large in the State of Delaware unless they are under the reasonable control of an owner or custodian. Specifically, dogs must be confined in an enclosure that prevents escape or firmly secured with a collar, chain or other devices, so they can't stray from the property.

Furthermore, the owner of a dog running at large is subject to civil liability and a fine up to $1,500 should their dog bite someone.

No. As of January 2020, Delaware does not have a law requiring dogs to wear seat belts or be secured within the vehicle during transportation. Regardless of state law, we recommend that all dog-owners take steps to ensure their pet’s safety when in a moving vehicle.  

It’s best to keep dogs restrained and out of the front seat. Dogs who insist on climbing into the front seat should be placed in the back, in a crate. If your dog’s crate doesn’t fit in the car, you should invest in a barrier to keep them out of the front seat.
