Foster care provides a temporary home that helps RAGOM determine a dog’s needs in a forever home. A foster home also provides the adoptive family with helpful information about the dog to ease transition and ensure a successful adoption.

RAGOM is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-based, nonprofit organization operating primarily in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and western Wisconsin. Since 1985, RAGOM has rescued and rehomed more than 10,000 Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever mixes.

In 2017, RAGOM adopted a new name—Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest—to reflect our dedication to expand our rescue efforts from our original home state of Minnesota to include Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin. Explore our website, and consider becoming a volunteer or donor.
