Dear Friends & Family,

Most of you know I love dogs and have a special place in my heart for rescuing Golden Retrievers.  I adopted my first Golden Retriever, Murphy, from RAGOM (Retrieve A Golden of the Midwest) in 2008.  RAGOM saved him from an abusive owner and we were blessed to have him until the ripe old age of 15.  We've since adopted two more Goldens from RAGOM. Stanley was rescued by RAGOM after spending 8 years in a commercial breeding facility.  And our current lovable & funny RAGOM pup is Seamus (pictured), who keeps us on our toes and came to us in 2023 as a puppy surrendered by a commercial breeder.  All three of these dogs would have faced an uncertain and likely terrible fate were it not for RAGOM.

We started fostering for RAGOM in 2022 to help rescue more Goldens and Golden mixes. Fostering has been a heartwarming experience and bolstered our love of RAGOM even more.  Goldzilla is RAGOM's largest fundraiser of the year.  The mission at RAGOM is to ensure that every dog has a Golden life and as a nonprofit relies heavily on donations and fundraising.  Will you help me achieve my fundraising goal so RAGOM can save more Goldens and Golden mixes?  Any donation (small or large) is much appreciated.  Thank you for your support!

Amy
