Maria 20-067 has been in foster care since March 2020, just before our world changed due to the covid-19 pandemic.  While Maria looks relaxed in this picture of her on a walk at the cabin she will not be attending Goldzilla in person.  She is a retired breeder dog and the noise and movement of the crowd would not be a comfortable situation for Maria.

Foster Dad has been fostering with RAGOM for more than 14 years.  Most of my foster dogs have been like Maria, a retired breeder dog.  It takes time to help them learn to be a dog and relax and do activites that a non-breeder dog enjoys.  At the cabin Maria knows that when Foster Dad puts on his tennis shoes it means it is walk time.  She starts to bounce with excitement and is almost like she is telling me to hurry up.  If you pledge a lot it just means Foster Dad needs to take Maria on more walks at the cabin!

All donations are greatly appreciated and help offset the care we provide to the RAGOM foster dogs!  Foster Dad will match the first $250.00 in pledges to Maria 20-067 and other foster dogs.

Goldzilla—RAGOM's annual Fun Fair and Walk for Rescue—supports our mission of rescuing and rehoming Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes of all ages. Your donation will provide RAGOM dogs with veterinary and foster care on their way to finding adoptive homes. So donate today and join us at Goldzilla to meet the many dogs you help!
