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.

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.

  Can Dogs Eat Peanuts? How Many Peanuts Can My Dog Have? Everyone knows that dogs love peanut butter. Since peanut butter is made from peanuts, most of us assume that peanuts are safe for dogs, too. The answer is not quite that simple, however. When it comes to your dog’s health, not all peanuts and peanut butters are created equal. Peanuts are loaded with protein, vitamin B-6, vitamin E, niacin, and healthy fats. This means that peanuts and peanut butter offer your dogs a protein-rich snack that they can’t get enough of. There are, however, some risks associated with both peanuts and peanut butter. What Types of Peanuts Are Safe for My Dog to Eat? The best peanuts for dogs are not the delicious, salted kind that most people prefer. Dry-roasted (or raw), unsalted peanuts are the only peanuts that are actually safe for dogs to eat , although your dog will probably be fine if he manages to scoop up a salted peanut or two from the floor. However, salted peanuts contain more sodium t...
