Rosie Success Story

After our 16 year old Golden passed away, our family was lost! We had never rescued a dog before, but felt like it was the right thing to do. After applying to AGaG and going through the interview process, we got a call about Rollo. She was a 5 year old Golden who spent her whole life having puppies.  We were told that she needed a home with another Golden who could show her the ropes. Our dog Spin could do that!  We drove to Sheldon, IL to meet Rollo. The foster family was wonderful and thought that Rollo and our family would be a great fit, and they were RIGHT! She was our Christmas present! She is such a happy soul and has brought joy to our family. We are so grateful to AGAG for allowing us to provide her with a forever home. (Her new name is Rosie) And she smiles!

Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
