Delaware – The Delaware Office of Animal Welfare (OAW) has introduced a new specialty license plate designed to support the well-being of companion animals throughout the state. The Animal Welfare Plate is now available through the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. The design features colorful illustrations of cats, dogs, and rabbits, giving residents a visible way to show support for animal protection initiatives. The plate costs $50 as a one-time fee, with $35 from each purchase going directly to the State Spay Neuter Fund, which helps fund low-cost sterilization services and other efforts to reduce pet overpopulation. Officials with OAW say this initiative is a practical way for the public to help improve conditions for animals statewide. Proceeds will support programs such as affordable veterinary care, animal shelter support, and public education on responsible pet ownership. The Office is encouraging Delaware drivers to choose the plate as a way to “drive with a purpose” and contribute to long-term animal welfare solutions. Residents can order the plate through the DMV.
