Rescue A Golden of Arizona

Welcome To Our 2022 Annual Fundraising Campaign

This week of Thanksgiving a loyal supporter, Martha McSally, has a special challenge for our donors. To honor Speedy, a Golden Retriever that holds a special place in her heart, Martha has offered to match ALL donations made through our Annual Campaign between November 20th-26th until we reach $2000.00. Thank you Martha!!

Here is the story of how Martha saved Speedy:

SPEEDY

The morning broke chilly, it was late in November
For Speedy a day he will surely remember
A hungry stray dog up in Navajo land
Desperately hunting for scraps from a can

Martha and family were up for a visit
A quick stop for gas ... but then “hey, wait a minute”
They’d spotted a Golden, he’s right over there
We can’t leave him here, that would be so unfair

This dog needs our help, he’s got wounds on his skin
The poor thing is starving, he’s weak and he’s thin
And suddenly all the vacation plans changed
It’s off to the shelter - High Country Humane

The folks at High Country took care of this guy
But Martha could not summon words of goodbye
She called Rescue A Golden, said what can I do?
This boy needs a home and good care and good food

So RAGofAZ did what all rescuers do
Gave Speedy a chance at a life that was new
No matter that our volunteers drove for hours
We’re just so happy that Speedy is ours

So please be like Martha and don’t look away
When you see an animal lost and afraid
Your heart will be full for you know you did right
And that is, as always, how you save a life

speedy and martha
