Eastwood, the only dog left after an ‘Empty the Shelters’ adoption event, adopted by Detroit Pistons coach

Eastwood has left the building!

The special needs dog named Eastwood, who went viral when he was the only animal left following an ‘Empty the Shelters’ event held at Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay Humane Society in April, was officially adopted on Tuesday by the Van Gundy family.

Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Detroit Pistons, his wife Kim, and their daughter Kelly, are the dog’s lucky new owners.

A video on the shelter’s Facebook page showed the moment the cute pup — who has a few health issues, that likely delayed his adoption — greeted his new family at the shelter.
