A Message from our Co-Presidents and Founder | |
|
September is here, and with it comes the excitement of fall—football season, cooler weather, and lots of opportunities to get involved with Adopt A Golden Atlanta!
As we cheer on our favorite teams, let’s also rally around our Goldens who need us most. Many of our furry friends are in need of medical care, and thanks to your generous donations, we’ve been able to provide life-changing treatment.
| |
|
But the need continues, and we’re counting on your support to help even more dogs on their journey to good health. We’re also actively seeking fosters—what better way to enjoy the season than with a Golden by your side? | |
Continuing his month, we must focus our attention on a crucial aspect of our mission – our Medical Fund. Many of the Golden Retrievers we rescue come to us with significant medical needs. From surgeries and treatments to regular check-ups and medications, these medical expenses add up quickly. Our current goal is to raise $50,000 to ensure that every dog receives the care they need to thrive.
| |
There are so many fun and meaningful ways to participate this fall! Whether you’re tailgating, attending one of our events, or volunteering your time, there’s a place for everyone in the AGA family. Don’t miss our Skelly Halloween Dog raffle—a perfect way to celebrate the season and support our mission.
We’re incredibly grateful for each of you who help us change lives, one Golden at a time. Thank you for being such a vital part of our team!

Check Your Dog
Once a Month on the 14th!
| |
|
It is important that you start your fight against canine cancer and any other health issue from the day you bring your dog home. | |
|
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.
| |
|
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. Monthly checks mean extra pets and love for your dogs while bringing peace of mind to you! 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.
