This beautiful two-year-old Moses was dumped at the Johnson City shelter in very poor health–skinny and bald from a bad skin condition.

The shelter staff doctored him up, of course, but poor little Moses did not get adopted from the shelter for 479 days! That’s way too long for a dog to be homeless!

At long last Moses was adopted by one of America’s heroes, a veteran.

Thanks to a generous donation from Elizabethton Federal Savings Bank, Moses now has a fenced in yard.

Moses has certainly “paid his dues” in this life. He’s now a healthy, happy boy, and deserves the best.

Check out the heartwarming video of Moses prancing around his new yard–he’s finally free!
