Alden is a gentle soul who’s had a rough start in life, and now he needs kindness and understanding. This medium-sized boy tends to hide in safe spots, whether in the house or outdoors, as he grapples with his past. Yet, despite his timid nature, Alden shows no signs of aggression. He’s more likely to plead with soft eyes, hoping for a little love and reassurance. He enjoys the company of other dogs, which brings out a bit of wagging in his tail and curiosity. While he’s fine with people petting him, he hasn’t yet learned to seek attention. Alden arrived at the rescue in August after wandering into a trap that was set for his safety. Some locals had spotted him for months, but no one knew his backstory. Now, he’s in search of a quiet home with at least one canine friend and a securely fenced yard. This gentle mutt prefers cuddles and patience over playtime. He isn’t a troublemaker; he’s calm and simply rests when he isn’t hidden away. With the right environment, Alden will slowly blossom into a loving companion. He’s altered, vaccinated, house trained, and ready for that special someone who understands his needs. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
