ORANGE COUNTY, Florida. – A happy update from Orange County Animal Services: Their oldest resident of the shelter, Cano, has finally found his forever home!

Cano spent around 200 days at the shelter. The shelter said a family saw him on the news on Friday and picked him up on Saturday!

“They saw he was a gentle, senior dog eager to be loved,” the shelter said. “They couldn’t stand the thought of Cano having another day without a home. So they opened theirs to him.”

Orange County Animal Services posted a video of 9-year-old Cano looking genuinely happy as he was loaded into his family’s new car.

“We will all miss you here at OCAS, Cano. You will always be in our hearts.”

Cano was dumped outside a local veterinary hospital in April and impounded at the shelter two days later. He was one of two dogs featured on digital billboards along Interstate 4 with the goal of bringing dogs to loving homes before the holidays. The other dog on the billboard, Davey, was adopted earlier this month.
