VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A dog who was at a shelter for over 400 days has finally found his forever home!. We introduced our News 3 audience to “North Star” a few weeks ago. The pit bull terrier had been at the Virginia Beach Animal Care And Adoption Center for more than a year. At the time, the shelter told us he rarely had anyone ask to meet him, and they were surprised no one had taken him home yet.
