They hadn't been out of the kennel from the age of 8 weeks until 5 months, when MTGRR rescued them. Per the owner who surrendered them, the dogs were purchased for a child's birthday. According to the owner, "the kid only played with them one day, and I've been stuck cleanin' the cage since". The kennel was full of feces. Both dogs were caked with dirt and covered in fleas. Their food bowl was a garbage can lid, and their water bowl was a bucket full of slimy water. Update from Alden's adoptive family: "When we first considered adopting a rescued dog, we were a bit hesitant because we were concerned about not knowing much about a dog’s background. However, we knew that a Golden would be a wonderful companion. When we first met Alden, we thought he was a sweet boy and decided to take him home, feeling reasonably sure that he would be a good fit for our family. We had absolutely no idea, though, of just how perfect a fit he would be. We were hoping for a dog who would welcome guests to our home, who would want to spend hours each day playing and cuddling, who would enjoy romping with our other dog and us in our back yard, and--above all—who would want to be with us as a beloved member of the family. Had we searched all over this country, we don’t think we could have found a dog better suited to us. We call him a puddle of love—he exemplifies the attachment, love, and joy that dogs so often bring to their families. We feel as if he has always been with us, we can’t imagine life without him."
