Christmas has come early for Capone the dog.
“They say good things come to those who wait … and that couldn’t be more true for our sweet Capone who FINALLY found his new family yesterday,” the shelterwroteon Facebook on Dec. 11.
Capone, the shelter’s longest-term resident, arrived at Animal Friends in November 2017 and waited over three years to find his forever home.

According toCBS Pittsburgh, Animal Friends struggled to find the right match for Capone due to the canine’s “medical and behavioral quirks,” and age. Capone’s preference to be in a forever home without kids or other pets also delayed his adoption, the outlet reported.
On Dec. 10, all the pieces fell into place when Capone’s current foster family, who had been looking after the dog for several weeks, decided to add the Lab as a permanent member of their household.

Capone’s new owners told CBS Pittsburgh, that the dog’s anxiety began to diminish as soon as he arrived at his new home and that he is “a good boy who loves snuggling and is enjoying the family life.”
“Happy Tails Capone!” Animal Friends said on Facebook after the pup was adopted. “We’re so glad that you have a family of your own and a home for the holidays.”
