2011 Fosters

A look back at our RAGOM fosters in 2011!

Bo - aka Bo Bee.   A chubby 18 month old boy with hip dysplasia.  We fostered him for 6 weeks while he lost weight, then he went to a new foster in MN so he could have surgery in Minneapolis.  He loved to play, chew on bones, and would squint his eyes when he got very excited.

Getting attacked by 3 month old Sadie.

 

Shylo - a sweet little 1 year old girl that was found as a stray near Sioux City, IA.  She was very high energy, but loved to cuddle and play with toys.  She also loved wrestling with Sadie!  She was adopted by a very wonderful couple who already have an older Golden that they adopted from RAGOM.

Kisses for Cadence!

 Jack- aka Jackers, Jacky.  A crazy 18 month old Golden Retriever/Irish Setter.  He was high energy, but was well behaved most of the time.  He loved running and following his nose.  He was adopted by Pat, who lives just north of the Twin Cities.  They go hunting often and go to the dog park every day.  Jack was Cadence's favorite foster.

Tired after running and swimming at the North Liberty pool!

 

Gracie - aka Grace.  She came from a shelter near Des Moines, IA who could not afford her treatment for Heartworms.  She was around 5-6 years old, and was an absolute sweetheart.  The treatment was very hard on her and she was a sick dog for awhile, but she did as well as we could have expected and made a full recovery.  She was a very mellow and well behaved girl.  She LOVED her "Justin Beaver" stuffed toy and sleeping on the couch.  Grace was adopted by Cheri, and now lives in SW Minn.

Excited to go Trick-or-Treating!

Moby - aka Moby-Bo-Bee, Mo-bers, Moose.  An 8 1/2 year old 105# love bug!  He is so sweet!  He loves tennis balls and stuffed toys, and always has to have a toy in his mouth.  Very mellow and trustworthy, loves cozy dog beds and belly rubs.  He reminds me of "Shadow" on Homeward Bound.  The perfect Golden Retriever family pet. 

VERY patiently waiting for me to say that he can have those treats!
