I am often asked "what makes AGA different from other rescues?"  That's easy for me to answer, first and foremost, it's our volunteers - their integrity, passion and loyalty to our mission - and it's the quality of our dogs and frankly our dogs are a reflection of our volunteers and the hands on care they give them from the first minute each golden enters the AGA program.  It starts with our financial supporters so that we can afford the best medical care and the best training.  There has never been a time in our 15 year history where money dictated our decision of what to do for a dog, NEVER.  If we don't have the money we'll raise it. 

Many of you know me personally and I have never been too proud to beg for dollars when I ask you for help.  It really means I need you to open your heart and wallet.  You know it goes to help give an abandoned golden a new life in a family who will be changed forever for the better.  Ask every family who has shared their lives with a golden retriever whether or not that golden made their family complete, yes that's what they do, complete families.  Every volunteer, regardless what their role is, knows it is their responsibility to make sure each golden who comes into AGA will have a better life than it did before AGA.

 

  I am pleased to welcome Lark O'Neal

back to AGA, the organization she helped me start in 2003.  Yes, 15 years ago, Lark and I had been serving on the board of Golden Retriever Rescue of Atlanta, when we both envisioned a different kind of rescue for abandoned golden retrievers.  Lark had served as President for GRRA and it was there we both discovered we had the same passion for golden retrievers and wanted to make a difference in saving this magnificent breed.  I can not tell you how excited I am to have Lark by my side again.  Lark will be in charge of all dog operations at AGA (which includes Intake, Medical, Dog Training, Transportation & Boarding, Applications, Fosters and Dog Placement).  This will allow me to focus on the growth of AGA as we become more important in the world of dog rescue.
