Dear AGA Family,
As the autumn leaves begin to turn, football takes over our Sundays, and we start to feel that crispness in the air; we'd like to give you an update on our AGA journey. During this seasonal shift, we face a pressing challenge — an influx of owner turn-ins requiring an urgent call for foster families.
The need for foster homes is more crucial than ever before. Each foster family becomes a lifeline for Goldens transitioning from shelters or seeking new beginnings. Your warmth, care, and temporary haven can be the hope these dogs require. By opening your heart and home to a furry friend, you're not just providing shelter but becoming a vital part of their journey toward a forever home.
This call is not just for those with ample experience; it's an invitation to anyone willing to make a difference. Fostering is a transformative experience, offering a chance to witness the resilience and gratitude of these Goldens as they embark on a new chapter.
So, if you've ever contemplated fostering, now is the perfect moment to step forward. Your act of kindness can mean the world to a Golden in need. Reach out, become a foster family, and play an integral role in shaping a brighter future for these lovable companions.
Thank you for considering this heartfelt plea. Together, let's ensure that every wagging tail finds a temporary home filled with love, care, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
Warmest Wags,

URGENT:
Call for Fosters, Can you please help?
| |
Our capacity is stretched, and we urgently need compassionate individuals to open their hearts and homes for Goldens in shelters and those seeking new beginnings. Becoming a foster could be the key to saving a life—an impactful legacy that echoes through time! 🌟 Will you join us in making a difference? | |

Facts about Cancer in Dogs
Did you know that 1 in 3 dogs will be diagnosed with cancer? 50% of those dogs will die from cancer. In humans, there are 1.5 million new cases of cancer each year, but in dogs, there are 6 million new cases of cancer diagnosed each year. Dog cancer prevention is key to a long healthy life with your dog.
It is important that you start your fight against canine cancer and any other health issue from the day you bring your dog home. Checking your dog once a month for lumps and bumps or any abnormal behavior is key in the prevention of any health issue with your dog. We recommend doing it on the 14th of every month. Checking your dog will be a great little bonding time with your dog. If you are starting with a young dog, this time will also prepare them for their future vet wellness visits.

Now how exactly do you do this?
Start at their nose and work all the way to their tail. Make sure you are in a familiar, low-key environment where you and your pet can do this without distraction. In other words, not during dinner time or when you expect the mailman to be buzzing by the house.
