To all the RAGOM fans out there…

Goldzilla is almost here, September 14th, and we just want to let you know about something very special happening the day of the event. There will be a large board (near the baseball backstop) with all the pictures of available dogs. You can help by purchasing a foster paw print sticker at the merchandising tent in increments of $10, $25, $50, and $100. Once purchased, you will place the paw print sticker next to the picture of the dog you’d like to support. You will also have the opportunity to write that particular dog a note, which will be posted the dog’s page after the event. This is a great way to show support for RAGOM and a particular dog that may be pulling at your heartstrings. Please consider stopping by the merchandise tent to purchase a Foster Fan Board paw print while at Goldzilla.

Diver is a 73-pound neutered male who came to Olivia for me to foster at the end of August. He loves to splash in the pool (a great dog for someone near a lake), rides nicely in the car, and gets along with other dogs. He needs to gain about 10 more pounds and he just got over an ear infection and pneumonia, so he needs to gain weight and recoup lost muscle while sick. He needs a Gentle Leader as he pulls and a fence as he will wander; he is a scent tracker. He sleeps on the bed at night and on the couch during the day. He will ask to go out by going to the door. He needs slow introductions to cats in the house. He leaves my cat alone in the house, but I have to watch as he wants to play and, due to his size, could hurt the cat without knowing it. He will chase and bark at cats if they run when outside. He has no storm anxiety, but does have some separation anxiety and can't be kenneled, though he does respect large gates. Due to his size, he is not good for smaller children. He needs someone to teach him how to play; he does some ball catching and returning, tug with ropes, play with some stuffed toys, but mostly, he loves the water. He loves pets, massages, brushing, and being around humans.

Diver is a large gentle giant with short fur that seems like the color of shifting sand and very soft. He looks more like a Golden Lab. You will just love to hug this dog!! If interested, contact your placement advisor to meet him. I have included pictures and more will follow, so keep watching.
