Murphy's mom, Julie, was rescued from commercial breeding, and they wouldn't have let her go if they knew she was pregnant. But Julie was severely underweight, so her pregnancy was a surprise, and Murphy and his siblings were born just a few days after Julie was brought into RAGOM's care.

Julie and all of Murphy's siblings received the veterinary care they needed, and then were adopted into loving homes. That is not the case with most of the dogs that languish in commercial breeding. RAGOM's mission includes advocacy, to advocate for these innocent pups.

I've been volunteering with RAGOM for over a decade, including serving on the Board, and I can attest that this organization uses their money wisely.  The bulk of the money donated to RAGOM helps save and care for dogs. This includes veterinary care, which can be quite expensive. 

Please partner with us to continue to make a difference in the lives of the dogs in RAGOM's care, both today and for the dogs that are rescued in the future.  Every dollar counts.

Goldzilla—RAGOM's annual Fun Fair and Walk for Rescue—supports our mission of rescuing and rehoming Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes in need. 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!
