What Happened When a Wolf Expert Met a Shelter’s Longest Resident

Some love stories take longer to unfold than others, and Vito’s tale proves that patience can lead to the most perfect endings. After spending years in a traditional shelter and then a full decade at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, this senior dog had watched countless other animals find their forever homes while he remained behind. Vito was set in his ways and needed someone who truly understood what it meant to care for a sensitive, older animal with specific needs.

Enter Casey, a former wolf handler whose experience with complex animals made him the ideal match for Vito’s particular personality. Casey visited the sanctuary multiple times, building trust and forming a genuine bond with the patient pup before making the commitment to adopt. Now, instead of spending his golden years in a shelter, Vito travels across the United States and Canada with Casey, experiencing adventures he never could have imagined. Their story reminds us that sometimes the longest waits lead to the most extraordinary destinations, and that every animal—no matter their age or how long they’ve been waiting—deserves their perfect person.
