Since 1985, Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest (RAGOM) has rescued and re-homed more than 9,000 Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Western Wisconsin.
Every RAGOM dog receives medical attention. Many arrive healthy and require only a wellness check and vaccinations. But others require extensive testing, medications, and/or surgeries, including dogs like Shelby 21-150.
Shelby was rescued from commercial breeding. He was extremely sick when he arrived, suffering from kennel cough, pneumonia, coccidia, giardia, and more. He was clinging to life, and required extensive veterinary care to save his life.
RAGOM’s adoption fee is far less than the medical expenses a dog incurs. We rely on the generosity of our sponsors and donors to help cover these and other costs.
Goldzilla reaches your audience
Goldzilla is RAGOM’s largest annual fundraising event and appeals to all dog lovers, including many RAGOM adoptive families. Goldzilla is one of the biggest Golden Retriever events in the country—more than 1,200 people and 800 dogs attended in 2021, and our numbers grow every year!
Your Goldzilla sponsorship, silent auction donation, or volunteer group participation will provide great exposure to thousands of RAGOM fans and followers, Goldzilla attendees, and the greater Twin Cities metro area. TV appearances, pre-event promotions, and both digital and traditional advertising will ensure that your sponsorship reaches dog lovers across the Midwest and especially in the Minneapolis-St. Paul designated market area (DMA) with both paid and earned media.
