After 700 Days In VA Shelter, Shinobi The Dog Finds Forever Home

LYNCHBURG, VA — After spending nearly two years in the care of Lynchburg Humane Society staff, the organization's longest-tenured tenant has finally found his forever home.

Shinobi was adopted last week after 700 days in the shelter, according to a Facebook post by the Lynchburg Humane Society.

"Shinobi was the best boy and we can't understand why it took so long for him to find a home, but we're so thankful he finally did!" shelter staff said in an email to Patch.

Shinobi is settling in nicely at his new home, where he loves playing tug-o-war with his new family and napping on the couch.

"We’re so thankful he finally has a bed, and toys of his now and can’t thank his adopters enough for giving him everything he’s always deserved!" shelter staff wrote on Facebook.

While Shinobi finally found his family, dozens of other four-legged creatures are still looking for their forever home.
