    We adopted our golden from RAGOM almost 2 years ago, and he is the joy of our lives! I can not believe SOMEONE didn't want him! If you've never had a golden... I swear once you go gold you'll never go back!! =)

    We love our RAGOM boys - Colt (formerly Johnson and also formally Royal - yes, he kept getting "returned" before coming to us - his true forever home) and Lego AKA Lego the Lover Dog. They both now compete in agility - Lego in the Excellent level and Colt making his debut in the Novice courses. RAGOM knew they weren't "throw away" dogs!!! They fill our hearts with joy everyday - thanks to RAGOM.

    Ragom is a wonderful organization, and helped us find JoJo, Lily and Pippa. We are blessed that Ragom has shares these wonderful girls with us. Please help Ragom find loving homes for other goldens. They need your help.
