Clifton came to the shelter as a stray transfer from a local hospital in 2023, according to WOIO, a CBS affiliate in Cleveland. Since then, he spent 1,028 days at the shelter, becoming its longest resident.
“After more than 1,000 days of waiting, Clifton deserves his happy ending. He is so ready to give his whole heart to the right family,” the Humane Society wrote on social media last week.

It now appears that’s exactly what he got.
“We adopted him and he’s in his forever home with us,” his adopter shared on the Humane Society’s post. “We absolutely love him.”
News Center 7 checked, and Clifton no longer appears as an adoptable dog on the Humane Society’s website.
