Gomer Needs a Home


Met a great dog named Gomer last week at the Delaware Humane Association in Wilmington. Gomer, a big bundle of kisses and friendly nudges, has been at the shelter for eight months. (You can see how sweet he is in the lap of the humane association's Kimberly Hall in this photo taken by Suchat Pederson.) He needs a home -- and lots of love.

Gomer is a 1-year-old white and brindle pit bull mix with a very friendly disposition. He was rescued from a kill shelter in Philadelphia, where he was in tough shape. His fur had been stained and his feet were burned by chemicals. He was brought to the humane association to be treated and to recuperate. The only open medical spot for him was in with the cats. "He thinks he's a kitten," one worker at the shelter says.

If you're interested in adopting Gomer -- and giving him the love he truly deserves -- give the folks at the humane association a call at 571-0111. Or stop by to meet him at the shelter at 701 A St., Wilmington.
