Dear RAGOM,
Thank you

Serena 10-204
Profile
RAGOM fans please meet Serena (10-204). Serena came into the RAGOM family on Saturday July 3rd along with 8 other dogs from a backyard breeder. You can say she really had good reasons to be celebrating Independence Day! Serena is 9 years old and was born on April 3, 2001. Thank you to all of the kind RAGOM volunteers who went and picked up Serena and the other dogs and brought them to Jane N's house where all the dogs were bathed and mini groomed before going to the foster homes!
Serena had a wellness check up at the vet's tonight. She weighs just under 66 pounds which the vet thought was pretty good considering where she came from. Her heart-worm test was negative, YAY! We will get the results back tomorrow on her fecal exam. Because Serena was said to be pregnant and due on 7/26 the vet gave her a thorough pelvic exam. She said she did not feel anything to indicate that she could be pregnant. Also based on Serena's age she said it would be highly unlikely for her to be. So after that portion of the exam the decision was made to bring her vaccinations up to date. Serena's ears were checked and they are in pretty good shape, nothing a little bit of ear flushing will not take care of. Serena is missing many of her lower teeth. The good news is that her remaining teeth, other than being wore down in spots, are solid. The big remaining medical procedure will be to have Serena spayed.
Serena is settling in nicely. The biggest issue we currently have is getting her to eat. I left her dish of food in her crate when I went to work and it looks like she did eat some. Some of the food was outside of her crate though. We will try and figure out what her appetite craves and stick with it. She has not had any accidents inside the house, unlike the other foster girl who has been here nearly 6 weeks. Serena figured out how to navigate the stairs to the lower level on the first night. She is a total sweet heart and will make someone a great companion.
Serena's future home should have the following:
Another confident resident dog.
No small children (12 and over preferably)
Physical Fence would be ideal. Although I doubt she would venture far from her peeps once she has settled in.
Please watch the website for future updates on this sweet sweet girl!
XOXO
Serena

Our sweet Serena is still doing well. Her fur brother 10-232 Lucky was adopted and I think she and resident Mia are missing his playful and affectionate personality. She is such a funny girl, must be the first one to receive lovin’, get her leash on for a walk, play with a toy, etc….she’s always at the front of the line for everything.
She has a sweet smile and I finally caught it on camera! Don’t you want to meet this darling girl?! Please contact your Placement Advisor if you would like to learn more about our sweet girl!

Serena is still fantastic! She is such a wonderful dog I’m surprised no one has adopted her! She is sweet as can be, seems to think she is a two–year old puppy, healthy, well trained and affectionate. She was playing chase with resident Mia and 10-232 Lucky today enjoying the beautiful day. Check out our beautiful, sweet girl!

Serena has a new fur brother and she is showing him the ropes! 10-232 Lucky arrived this weekend and they are getting along well. She is teaching him about the golden life and how to walk well on a leash. We are hoping Lucky does not learn how to be a toy destroyer like Serena….this is only a small portion of the remnants in our yard! J She continues to be our smiley social butterfly and the popular girl in the neighborhood!

Just a quick update about our sweet girl, aka social butterfly, as she loves every person and dog she meets! She is spayed now, in perfect health and eating just like a normal Golden.
We are babysitting 10-199 Buckshot this weekend. Bucky and Serena came from the same commercial breeder, and she was very excited to see him again. Bucky is still very afraid and Serena has been especially comforting to him. She is so playful and confident that maybe Bucky will learn to trust people from her.
Buckshot, resident Mia and Serena had lots of fun playing in the yard today!

Serena has been with us for a week now and we LOVE her. She is so grateful for all the love and attention she can get her paws on, is a social butterfly and loves everyone! She has a few years to make up for and seems to be relishing every moment.
Serena learned about toys this week and is a toy destuffer, and does not yet know how to differentiate between doggie toys and kiddy toys. If she picks up something she isn’t supposed to chew, we just say “drop” and she immediately drops it. Good girl!
We walk every morning and Serena is so excited to get outside I can hardly get her leash on. Once we are outside, she looks back at me continuously as if to say “isn’t this cool! I’m free!”. When she and Mia are alone in the back yard, Serena rolls around in the grass and then runs back and forth across the yard.
Don’t let her grey mask fool you…..she has a young mind, body and soul. Please contact your Placement Advisor if you are interested in learning more about Serena.

Serena moved to a new foster home this weekend, and she is already settling in nicely. She is still funny about eating, but given the amount of change she has experienced in the past week, it’s understandable why she would be a bit stressed. She is as sweet as can be, gets along great with our resident Mia, and my two younger children. She wants to be with people and loved! For a dog that has lived outside her entire life, she sure is comfortable in a home – lucky girl! I’ll write more as we get to know her better. Here are a few pictures of our new cutie!
