Story
Meet Cooper — A Sweet Senior With a Young-at-Heart Spirit! 🐾 Cooper is back in RAGOM land and ready to find his forever home! At 11 years old, this handsome guy is playful, affectionate, smart, and surprisingly energetic for a senior. Cooper is deaf with very limited hearing, but that hasn’t slowed him down. He quickly learned hand signals for commands like “come,” “sit,” and “go,” and he’s a very eager student. He loves his people, enjoys snuggling, playing fetch, swimming in the lake, and even going for golf cart rides! Cooper does have arthritis, but with medication and shorter walks, he’s moving comfortably and enjoying life. He also deals with seasonal allergies, but medication helps keep symptoms under control. He can be mouthy and excitable during play, so children 15+, who understand his boundaries would be the best fit. He has also shown some reactivity toward other dogs while on leash. His ideal home would be a quiet country setting with a fenced yard where he can safely explore. Most of all, Cooper needs a family committed to making this his forever home—a place where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love, companionship, and plenty of fun.

Story
Update 8/12/26 Buffy had a weigh-in last week and is at a total weight loss of 5lbs. She anticipates her morning walks and has reached 1.25 miles. She is still such a happy easy going girl. Could she be the sunshine to brighten your day? Meet Buffy! ☀️ Buffy is a big, sunny, smiley girl with an even bigger heart. Found as a stray in South Dakota, this lovable lady greets each day with a happy face and her signature "helicopter tail" that spins in circles whenever she's excited. Buffy is on an inspiring weight-loss journey, already making progress with daily walks and a healthier diet. She loves peaceful morning strolls, relaxing outside to watch the world go by, and soaking up affection from her favorite people. She's gentle, intelligent, and gets along well with resident dogs she knows, though she can be reactive to unfamiliar dogs on leash and will need continued management and training in those situations. Buffy also has some arthritis, so she takes medication to keep her comfortable and would thrive in a low-key home without lots of stairs. She previously had a benign growth removed from one of her toes, and while it may return in the future, she's currently doing well. If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing companion with a loving spirit, a goofy smile, and endless affection to give, Buffy is ready to find the family who will cheer her on through the rest of her journey.

Story
Meet Ella — A Diamond in the Rough Who Is Learning to Trust Ella is a gorgeous 5½-year-old light-red Field Golden and a retired breeding mom who is discovering what it means to be part of a loving family. When Ella first arrived in foster care, she hid in the farthest corner of the yard and would retreat if anyone looked her way. Four months later, she is staying close to her foster family, exploring her surroundings, and even approaching for an occasional gentle sniff or kiss. Those little kisses are huge milestones for this sweet girl! Ella loves walks, rides calmly in the car, sleeps through the night, and follows her foster dog siblings outside. She is still learning about house-training and can be startled by sudden movements and everyday city sounds. Ella needs a patient, quiet home with a securely fenced yard and a confident medium-to-large resident dog to help her feel safe. Children in the home will need to be 15+ for this sweet girl. Her family will need to move slowly, respect her boundaries, and celebrate the small victories as she builds confidence. After five years as a breeding mom, Ella deserves the chance to experience kindness, comfort, and the security of a forever home. She may not be a “typical” Golden yet—but with time and love, just imagine the beautiful girl she can become. Could you be Ella’s safe place?

Story
Winnie is a beautiful 10-month-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees weighing approximately 95 pounds, with a heart as big as her paws! She has a playful puppy spirit, an affectionate nature, and an independent streak that keeps life interesting. Winnie enjoys being outdoors and spending time with her people, while also showing the independent personality typical of her breed. She will need a family that understands the commitment of raising a giant-breed dog. She is strong, energetic, and not yet kennel trained, so continued training, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement will be important. Her future family should be ready to work on leash manners, basic obedience, and socialization while providing plenty of exercise and mental enrichment. She needs room to grow, opportunities to explore safely, and people who will guide her with patience, consistency, and love. In return, you’ll get to watch this wonderful young dog blossom into the loyal companion she is meant to be. Experience with large or giant breeds would be helpful, but a willingness to learn and invest in her development is just as important. Are you ready for a little puppy mischief and a whole lot of fluffy love? Winnie the Great may be the perfect addition to your family!

Meet Woogie — A Snuggle Bug Learning to Trust Woogie is a sweet 2-year-old boy who is discovering that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. In just three weeks, he has made incredible progress! His fearful accidents have stopped, he loves walks and car rides, and he has discovered the absolute joy of cozy beds and snuggles. Still shy around new people, Woogie needs a patient family who will let him build trust at his own pace. He would do best with children 15+. With love, routine, and a little time, this once-frightened boy is blossoming into the affectionate companion he was meant to be. And his personality is coming out in the cutest ways — including perching on the table by the front window to keep an eye on the neighborhood! Woogie has so much love waiting to be shared.
