Country singer Luke Bryan just welcomed a new member to his family -- an 18-year-old dog.

The country singer and his wife, Caroline, rescued the dog, "Poochie," after reading about him in a social media post from Nashville-based no=-kill shelter called Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue.

In a Facebook post, the shelter shared the heartwarming story.

"Poochie, the 18 year old who was surrendered to the pound when his family became allergic and whom we pulled was expected to be a forever hospice foster with Proverbs ( like many others in our care), but God had different plans," the post reads.

"After reading about Poochie on our social media, Luke Bryan and his beautiful wife, Caroline applied and adopted Poochie this past Saturday!" it continued.

The shelter attached photos of Caroline Bryan and the dog's previous foster parent, Lacy Marie. They also provided an update on how Poochie is doing.

"He is loving life on the Bryan farm and soaking up all their love. Who knows, maybe Poochie will inspire a country song!" the shelter posted. "ThanksBryans!"
