OSCAR - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

In Irish myth, Oscar was a great hero known for his bravery and poetic talents. Our Oscar is a little on the softer side and we haven't noticed him leaving poems around the shelter lately, but we still think he's a hunky little hero! This mushy loverboy is a pocket pittie, who melts into petting and enjoys nothing more than being by your side or romping around with a plushie - though if there's a few snacks going around he'll never say no! Oscar is rated for kids 8+, negotiable with savvy youngsters. Oscar, 591628.
