Faya, a 4-year-old mixed breed with striking features, found her forever home after 420 days at Iowa’s Humane Society of Scott County. Her adoption marked the fulfillment of her long-awaited dream to find a best friend.
“It’s official … Faya, our longest resident, has been adopted after 420 days of living in the shelter! To say our staff and volunteers were overjoyed is an understatement,” the shelter wrote in a June 19 post on Facebook.
“We’ve given her so much love and care over the many months she was here and this is the moment we were all waiting for. She finally gets to sleep in a home of her own,” the shelter added.
The post included a sweet photo of Faya and her new owner smiling.
“I beg your finest pardon! This is absolutely the cutest thing. They have the same smile!! These two were meant for each other. I hope they have the best life,” one person commented. Another person wrote, “This is wonderful! They both look so happy!”
“Faya has been here over a year, and if we wait for the ‘perfect’ home, she’s never going to leave the shelter because perfect homes don’t exist. But that’s okay because our dogs aren’t looking for “perfect” homes, they’re just looking for someone to give them a second chance at life. Someone who will love them and care for them,” the post read.
