Sammy at 6 Years Caleb at 5 Years Best Buddies Sammy Breed: Golden Retriever Gender: Male Story: We adopted Sammy, our red golden, a year ago from the Iowa Golden Retriever Rescue. He'd lived a very rough first four years of life, including three or so years in a puppy mill and his fourth year with owners who abused and starved him and another dog, which was found dead by the police after they'd rescued Sammy off the streets. His coat was such a matted mess he had to be shaved, and of course, he was fearful of everything and everyone. We started him on Flint River right away, and his coat grew in quickly and beautifully, shiny, thick, and so healthy. He's a very happy boy now--loves his new life with his brother, Caleb, who was raised from a puppy on Flint River, and us--his mom and dad--who just adore him to pieces.
