Hi, my name is Charlotte. I am a 3 year old purebred female golden retriever. If I could talk I would tell you what my life was like before a nice lady rescued me from a dog run next to the chicken coop! I just lived in my run and ate, so I need to lose 20lb. I never got to explore the world. I was scared of new things and almost everything was NEW! Then came the nice lady and AGA. Now I have learned what life is like to be a dog surrounded by good people who love dogs and love me. I am in a new home where my family is the best. They are previous AGA adopters, and for me they are just the right fit. They needed to find AGA alumni Duke some company. Well, he and I fit together like two peas in a pod. Duke is now showing me how to live the golden life – playing in our big back yard and lounging around the house. The good life sure beats that dirty cage. I hope all dogs are this happy!
