Faithful Friends, in New Location, Opens to Public


Faithful Friends, the no-kill shelter in Wilmington, has moved down Germay Drive to a building that's twice as big as its old location, and on Wednesday, it'll be open to the public for adoptions for the first time since the move.

The shelter, at 12 Germay Drive, will be open from 1-7 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, and from 1-4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Executive Director Jane Pierantozzi says the shelter has about 75 cats and kittens, and about 15 dogs available.

"We'll probably increase our dogs now that we have more space," she says. The shelter moved from a 2,500-square-foot location to one that's 5,000 square feet.

It costs $85 to adopt a cat or kitten, and includes spaying or neutering, all shots and microchipping. Dogs cost $120. For more info, call (302) 427-8514.
