I am a 7 year old boy and I came to AGA because my owner had to leave and no one else in my family could take care of me and give me a home. I’ve always lived outside which is one reason I ended up with heartworms because I didn’t get any medicine to keep them out of my heart. I asked for an angel and a very famous one came to help me and give me the $500 in honor of his dogs. Mr. Gene Makowski has taken care of and helped so many goldens that we feel that he is one of us. And now I am one of “his” lucky dogs! It was very hard to imagine what it would be like to live inside a house but AGA says “no outside dogs” so I kept hoping a family would come along and give me a chance. And they did! Now my new mom and dad and me all live in the house and we are a family. Everyone says I have perfect manners and know exactly how to behave. I am one happy dog now! Your friend, Charlie P.S.- Don’t make your dog live outside and don’t forget to give them heartworm medicine. It is no fun to have to get shots because they hurt!
