Animal Abuse Registry List

The Delaware Animal Abuse Offender List was created in 2025 by an act of the Delaware General Assembly and signed into law on August 21, 2025 to protect animals from those who pose a risk to their welfare. The list contains information regarding adult individuals who are convicted of misdemeanor and felony crimes against animals in Delaware. The list is not retroactive. Convictions prior to the establishment of the list are not included.

The Animal Abuse Offender List is a public resource to help entities and individuals involved in the adoption, sale or placement of animals to identify offenders during the vetting process.
