ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. — The Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare announced great news about their longest resident finally finding his forever family.
In a Facebook post on Nov. 16, the animal shelter shared Gibson was adopted on Nov. 11, famously known as a lucky day!
The dog had been with the shelter for almost 300 days, waiting patiently to go home to his forever family. And now, his wish came true.
"We are SO grateful to the Wingards for opening up their home and their hearts to Gibson!" the shelter wrote in the post. "Gibson's new mom sent us the...email only a few hours after adopting him."
The email from Gibson's new mom said he was adjusting very well and had filled his stomach with food and water.
"[He's] now tuckered out beside me on the couch snoring away," Gibson's mom wrote. "He has had no potty accidents and took a real long walk around our neighborhood."
"He's such a sweet boy, and I am forever thankful to y'all for trusting us with him."
Photos sent to the animal shelter after the adoption show Gibson getting comfortable in his new home.
"Today is the first day of forever with this angel baby," Gibson's mom wrote.
