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.

So what are you waiting for! know what vaccine is next and schedule your appoinments

Like people,  pets  need vaccines. And pet vaccinations, like those for humans, may sometimes require a booster to keep them effective. The best way to stay on schedule with vaccinations for your  dog  or  cat  is to follow the recommendations of a veterinarian you trust. Chances are your vet's suggestions will break down into two categories: core pet vaccines and non-core vaccines. Core pet vaccinations are those recommended for every pet, while non-core vaccines may be advised based on your pet's lifestyle. For example, your vet may suggest certain non-core vaccinations if your  cat  or dog is outdoors only or boarded often. Many vaccines can be given to  pets  as young as 6 weeks old, so talk to your vet about setting up the best vaccination schedule for your  cat  or dog, kitten or puppy. Vaccination Schedule for Dogs: Core and Non-core Vaccines Dog Vaccine Initial Puppy Vaccination (at or under 16 weeks) Initial Adult Dog ...

  Chow chow pup survives electric shock on Liverpool rail line A dog "miraculously" survived an electric shock on a rail line and narrowly avoided being hit by a train. The driver, who managed to brake just in time, got out and rescued the chow chow, whose thick fur was singed after she was badly burnt. RSPCA inspector Vicki McDonald said the dog had "smelt strongly of burning and was bleeding from the mouth". The chow chow also injured her leg in the incident at 08:20 GMT on Sunday near Liverpool Central station. Ms McDonald said the dog's leg injury meant she could not bear weight on it, adding "it is miraculous she is alive".
