All dogs dream of finding a loving home, but for some, the wait is longer than they deserve. Unfortunately, a few dogs spend almost their entire lives without a place to call their own. This was the unfortunate fate of one dog who endured ten long years in a shelter, but now, her patience has finally paid off.
Meet Bean, an 11-year-old black lab mix who has spent the past decade under the care of the Animal Refuge Center in North Fort Myers, Florida. Despite the shelter’s tireless efforts, Bean always faced challenges in finding a home. Part of the issue was that, unlike many labs, Bean felt anxious around young children and preferred a household with adults only. While this limited her options, Bean was a loving and playful dog who enjoyed walks and playing fetch. The shelter remained confident that the perfect home was out there for her.
Yet, years passed without any takers. Bean became the shelter’s longest-serving resident, and it seemed like she might never experience the warmth of a permanent home.
Recently, after a decade of waiting, Bean received some wonderful news. Larry Denmark, a man who had seen her photo online, fell in love with her. He began visiting the shelter to spend time with Bean, and their connection grew stronger with each visit.
Now, after spending nearly her entire life at the shelter, Bean has finally found her forever home. The Animal Refuge Center announced that Bean has a “forever foster home” with Larry.
The shelter expressed their gratitude to the staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to prepare Bean for this opportunity, and they bid farewell to her with mixed emotions, knowing that she is finally living her best life.
