Pup waiting for home finally gets a family. See tearful goodbyes at SC shelter
One of the longest residents at a South Carolina shelter finally got his wish for a family after so many people left him disappointed.
Headley, a lovable pit bull mix with a massive heart and adoring fans at the Darlington County Humane Society, had his biggest dream come true ... finally. He was adopted.
“Watch as HEADLEY learns his forever family is nearing the shelter all the way from Nebraska! Yes, Nebraska!” the shelter in Hartsville said in an Oct. 20 Facebook post featuring video of staff members saying their goodbyes as they get the pup fresh and clean for the newest chapter of his life.
“Get your tissues ready as he prepares for their arrival, congratulated by his shelter fur friends and celebrated by some of his biggest fans among our staff and volunteers.”
Footage shows Headley, donning a teal and yellow shirt with the words “gotcha day” on the back, anxiously waiting for something to happen as staff members’ mirth clearly rubs off on him.
“Headley waited just shy of a year for this joyous occasion that finally happened at 7pm last night. Out of many of our urgent dogs longest on grounds, Headley probably had the most people show interest in him yet never show up,” the shelter said.
“All of that changed last night.”
The shelter even released photos of Headley celebrating with his new family along with him greeting them at the front doors of the facility.
“Finally this sweet Bachelor of our Bridge Facility found a wonderful family that accepted his special little legs and took his paw in theirs and left for home! Our hearts are so grateful,” the shelter happily said.

Hartsville is about a 70-mile drive northeast from Columbia.
