Animal connections
Alumnus Patrick Carroll leads Delaware Humane Association
In an era where many people shift jobs with regularity, University of Delaware alumnus Patrick Carroll spent the past decade and a half connecting people with animals at the Delaware Humane Association (DHA). Itâs an organization best known for its pet adoption services, but also offers spay and neuter services, low-cost vaccination clinics, a pet food pantry and works with wavering pet owners to keep pets in their homes.
âWeâve evolved into a full-resource center for pet owners,â said Carroll, who graduated from UD in 1988 with a bachelorâs degree in animal science. âWe do whatever is needed in the community whether it is humane education, low-cost veterinary care and training.â
