While it is generally accepted in the United States that a dog is a man’s best friend, in certain other countries, dogs are just a meal. However, a group of Americans is turning that fate around for hundreds of dogs already.

Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest (RAGOM) is a Minnesota based organization that works to rescue abandoned dogs, specifically golden retrievers. “RAGOM rescues, fosters, and finds forever homes for golden retrievers and golden mixes in need,” according to their mission statement.
