Christmas has come early for Capone the dog.

After spending 1,134 days at the Animal Friends shelter in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the 10-year-old Labrador retriever mix was adopted last Thursday by a family who had been fostering the canine for several weeks.

"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 shelter wrote on 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 to CBS 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.

"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.

Dog found alive in rubble six days after deadly Norway landslide

A dog has been found alive in the rubble of a deadly landslide in Norway, boosting hopes among rescuers who are still searching for missing people. The landslide, which carried away homes in the Norwegian village of Ask, took place on 30 December. Seven people have died, and three others remain missing. The dog was found by rescuers late Monday and was "in good condition", police spokesperson Ivar Myrboe said. Rescuer Goeran Syversen said: "It is a joy for us and gives motivation to further work hard." Search efforts continue in the village, 16 miles northeast of Oslo, with dogs going beneath the rubble in below-freezing temperatures to try to find those still missing. Helicopters and drones with heat-detecting technology are also being used. It is thought to be the worst landslide in modern Norwegian history - destroying around nine buildings containing more than 30 apartments. At least 1,000 people were evacuated from their homes.
