Not Your Typical Adoptee

Oscar needs a home. A home with someone special.

The 3-year-old neutered stray ended up at the Faithful Friends shelter after being plucked from the Kent County SPCA. "He doesn't look as pretty as the others," says Jane Pierantozzi, executive director of the Wilmington no-kill shelter. "He has a special look."

Oscar has a broken jaw, his tongue hangs out and he doesn't have all of his teeth, Pierantozzi says. (No one knows how his jaw was broken, but the vet says it isn't causing him any pain and it would be difficult to repair.)

This terrier mix is a lap dog, Pierantozzi says, who is looking for that right home. If you're interested, call Faithful Friends, 12 Germay Drive, at 427-8514.
