EACH DOG WAS PLACED WITH EITHER A FOSTER HOME OR A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT FAMILY, WHERE THEY RECEIVED CARE, VETERINARY SERVICES, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PLACED WITH AN ADOPTIVE FAMILY. RAGOM RESCUED 5 INTERNATIONAL DOGS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS. RAGOM HAS TWO OUTREACH PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT FAMILIES EXPERIENCING CHALLENGES WITH THEIR DOGS.
