An animal shelter in Virginia shares the good news that one of their shelter dogs who has spent 472 days at the shelter has finally found her forever home.

The Angels of Assisi shared the news on Wednesday, November 27. They wrote on a Facebook post, “Finally, during our Pet Expo Adopt-A-Thon last Saturday, RoRo met her human.”

Angels of Assisi shares that Roro was brought into their shelter after her family suffered a loss which caused them to move and they could no longer take care of the pooch.

Life was tough for Roro, because on top of being surrendered by her family, she also had some medical issues.

“On top of that, RoRo needed to have surgery to remove a cancerous mass and has severe allergies, which caused her to have some hearing loss, and need to be managed daily.”

“All 472 of those shelter days, RoRo has been a happy, playful and loving dog, with our kennel staff often going into her space on their breaks to spend extra time with her,” Angels of Assisi shares.

And while there weren’t many potential adopters lining up for Roro, she had an “Angel Ambassador”, someone who takes her for weekly outings to help keep her spirits up despite the shelter life and give her some extra loving.

And on Saturday, November 23, Roro finally met her forever home. “Kathy fell in love immediately and we know RoRo’s feelings were mutual,” the animal shelter shared.

Angels of Assisi also reveals that Roro has quickly settled into her new mom’s home and giant yard!

The animal shelter said they are very excited for this next chapter in Roro’s life and said, “Kathy says RoRo is in fact the one who rescued her, and she’s looking forward to growing together in the years to come.”

“Animals like RoRo are why we do what we do,” Angels of Assisi wrote.

Currently, the Angels of Assisi is offering special holiday weekend discounts on their adoption fees from November 30 to December 29, every Saturday & Sunday.

The adoption fees for adult cats and dogs will be $25, $75 for kittens, and $200 for puppies. So, if you’re looking for a sign to adopt, this is it!

The discounts are the animal shelter’s way of ensuring they can get as many of their shelter animals into a warm, loving home just in time for the holidays.
