Mission Statement
We provide Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever mixes a second chance through education, advocacy, rescue, and community outreach.
Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
We found new homes for 294 dogs, including 159 dogs rescued from commercial breeding. We removed many barriers to adoption and implemented new programs to help dogs with behavior issues.
Current Goals
RAGOM aims to expand our impact across the Midwest. Our programmatic goals include recruiting and retaining more foster families and volunteers, using targeted marketing to spotlight dogs with behavioral challenges or health needs to find suitable homes and reduce extended stays in foster care, strengthen relationships with other animal welfare organizations to improve our reach, streamline rescue operations, and collaborate on events and education efforts, making our programs more inclusive by engaging diverse communities and creating equitable volunteer opportunities, and advocating for dogs through targeted legislative efforts, coalition-building, and educational initiatives to support animal welfare reforms and promote the humane treatment of dogs.
