It’s Big, It’s Hairy, It’s Goldzilla, Where 600 Golden Retrievers Gather to Celebrate Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota (RAGOM) [1]

Opportunity

RAGOM will host media (photo and video availability) to meet beloved golden retrievers, including those from Turkey, who attend one of the largest Golden Retriever events in the country. The Goldzilla Golden Retriever Fun Fair and Walk for Rescue raises awareness and support for RAGOM. 

Media can interview rescue leaders who can tell stories of rescues and new life with loving families. Media will receive an update on the Goldens rescued this past year from Turkey.
