A gorgeous four-year-old Staffordshire brindle Bull Terrier called Faith has at last been adopted after spending 1,000 days (nearly three years) at a rescue center in Somerset, England.

Faith was taken to the RSPCA Bath Cats & Dogs Home in 2017 by British actor and animal lover Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) who found her swerving to avoid cars on a busy road when she was just a puppy.
Although Faith is described as a “beautiful girl” who is “loving and fun,” nobody showed any interest in rehoming her until husband and wife Matt and Taylor Elliot saw her plight and traveled more than 186 miles from Norfolk, on the other side of the country, to adopt her.

“She was the one — something just said to me she needs a family,” said Taylor, whose husband added that Faith’s personality was already shining through and it would be an enjoyable experience to home her.
“All the team is so, so pleased Faith’s found her forever home and that they are willing to take her on and to give her that chance,” said Nicky Cragg who works at the rescue center.

Last year, the RSPCA found homes for nearly 7,700 dogs in the UK. It says that Staffies and their crosses are the most neglected and rescued type of dog.
This heart-warming story reminds us what a positive, wonderful action adopting an animal is, but also that there are thousands of lovely lonely dogs living in rescue centers who are just waiting for a chance to be loved.
I am so happy that Faith was finally adopted.
Thanks to the Elliotts for adopting Faith and giving her a chance for a happy life!
At last. So happy for her.
This is entertainment? Only for sick, disturbed individuals!
So glad that she has a beautiful forever home.
What sweet people to drive such a long way to offer this dog a good home. Great! All animals deserve a chance to find a great home! Have respect for everyone who also gives these dogs and cats a chance. Those are the REAL animal lovers!
Finally some good news! Very glad for Faith.
YAY!!! So happy “Faith” at last has a home! She is beautiful!!!
Cruelty to animals and marine life should be classified as Felonies, and the criminals should have to do their time working around and caring for animals…
Aww. Very heartwarming that she has found her family. Thank you for sharing with us and saving her.
Such a good story to hear that Faith finally has a chance at a beautiful life!!!! Thanks to all that made this happen!!!! Good luck in your new life Faith sweet girl…
Made my day
A happy tale, we need more of these !
Dear Taylor, dear Matt,
you are wonderful. Thank you from my heart that you apodted lonely Faith and gave her a safe and warm home and all the love, the good girl needs. May God be with you. Greetings from Germany, Dagmar
To everyone who cared for Faith, Thank you. I needed to read some good news and I am so happy for Faith. Thank you to the new family for caring.
Thank you for giving Faith a forever home at last.
I LOVE a happy ending – even one that takes three years!
TY to everyone who helped Faith get the loving home she deserves <3
Thank you to Mark and Taylor for giving Faith such a good, loving home.
She’s beautiful, this brought me to tears. She spent 3 years waiting but it’s better than being in a kill shelter for a short time with no change of finding that forever home.
THANK YOU to the wonderful Adopters who made a wise & compassionate choice — THANK YOU to the Rescue – RSPCA — who held Faith for 3 years, took good care of her, until someone loving came along — keep up with your great work — HOLD ONTO THEM until they get adopted into caring homes — WE LOVE YOU.
Très heureuse pour elle et merci à ce couple formidable
Well done to all concerned.
EXCELENTE !
