RAGofAZ By-Laws (pdf)

RAGofAZ rescues Golden Retrievers in need and finds new, permanent homes for them. We spend considerable time and resources on educating the public about the breed, about responsible dog ownership, and about rescue efforts. A relative newcomer to the rescue business, RAGofAZ incorporated in October, 1998.

RAGofAZ distributes informational flyers to local veterinarians and pet stores, and publishes a quarterly newsletter, Golden Tales, for all members.

Goldens are given up by their owners for a variety of reasons. Many of these wonderful dogs have medical conditions that are treatable, although sometimes expensive. We, at RAGofAZ, never turn a Golden Retriever away, unless it has exhibited aggressive tendencies. We place the Golden in a foster home, have him treated medically and adopt him to a qualified, loving and permanent home.

RAGofAZ is a non-profit, charitable organization run by a board of directors. Every penny received from contributions goes directly back into the organization to pay veterinary and medicine bills. There is no doubt your contribution will be directly responsible for helping a Golden Retriever to receive medical help and finally to find a permanent home in which to live out its days.
