A Message from the President and Founder, Lauren Genkinger
Our biggest fundraiser for the entire year is almost here. We are having a fall gala because
we are running short on our fundraising so far this year. We have lots of goldens who need
us to help with medical issues, behavioral issues and simply help them start their life over. Many
have not been able to enjoy a golden life and we want to help them have that. So go to our website
and click on the gala logo and think about becoming a sponsor. It's going to be a grand evening
at the Atlanta History Center and we are going to celebrate the birth of the first golden retriever
over 150 years ago in Scotland. The color for the evening is tartan plaid. Our special guest will be
Oscar, the singing golden who was on America's Got Talent where he impressed Simon Cowell
for singing on key! We will also select the Golden of Courage winner and show his brave story
on video. Don't miss the best golden party in town.
See you there!

ORPHAN OF THE MONTH
Archie
I started out with a breeder who sold me when I was just 8 weeks old, but after just a
little while I was returned to the breeder who found another home for me that wasn't right
for me either. From then until the time I came to AGA, about four months ago, I felt like
I had been bounced back and forth like a basketball because everyone gave up on me. They
said I was too fond of guarding my things. They said I was too anxious and nervous.
They
said I wasn't good around little children,
even though I thought the children didn't know how
to treat a dog! I ended up in a dog training
school which is not like a home! Day after day
of lessons and loneliness and I tried my best - I really did! I am about 3.5 years old and I
feel like I will never find a family.
