After losing his home and owner to a fire, Beacon sat in the ARK shelter for nearly three years. His debut in the Adopt Me! column, however, brought him a much-needed twist of fate.
Five months on and he was welcomed into the home of the Hirakatas of Kansai. He's now a full-fledged member of the family.
Beacon joins Yasushi, Ayako, Mao and Shiho, and an assortment of animals that includes an older dog. The Hirakatas had initially fostered Beacon, but decided to adopt as he slowly grew on them.
