A message from the President & Founder, Lauren Genkinger

Thankfully, many of you have asked how best to put AGA in your Wills
and Trusts. We are extremely grateful you feel this way towards
AGA. Yes, we are classified as a 501(c)(3) with the IRS. We are
in the process of updating our giving section on our website so
we can address all of your questions. We have recently had the opportunity to establish an Endowment Fund independently managed
by an investment firm, that was made possible by an anonymous grant. Use of monies earned by this fund will be restricted to operating expenses.

We hope that having this Endowment Fund will encourage our
supporters to give to the future of AGA.

With deep appreciation!

ORPHAN OF THE MONTH

Wylie

Things have been pretty rough in my six or seven years, especially lately.
I was lost and I am sick with heartworms, and ear infections and a broken tooth.
Besides that, I have other kinds of worms and I need an eye doctor. At first,
I was scared when the people from the shelter found me because I was hurting
from a wire I got tangled up in but it was actually a relief.

Welcome Back Stella!

For those of you who have been following the whereabouts of Stella, here is an account of her being found:

Stella decided to keep us on the edge of our seats for 11 very long days! She is now back in the security of our loving arms.

The finale occurred 5/31 at 12:42AM within a large enclosure that she has been acclimated to for many days. It was strategically armed last night with a closing mechanism. She triggered the sensor and was scared for a few seconds. Katie Winter and Laura Maggioli soothed her within a minute. After some quiet time, Laura took her to the Vet for a checkup and bath.

Stella is back with us because of all the prayers, and positive thoughts from all of you. You all kept her from traveling too far with your thoughts, and she did listen. The process was meticulously and patiently guided by The Retrievers. Their expertise was essential in Stella's return and the reason she is back! Please take some time to visit their site ( https://theretrievers.org/) and Facebook pages.

From this writer's perspective, she was assigned the appropriate name. Picture the scene of Marlon Brando desperately crying "STELLA" in the classic movie Streetcar Named Desire. That is the anguish I believe we all felt.

This was all accomplished with the amazing help of:
Katie Winter - foster mom
Mary and John Bach - foster parents/home where rescue took place
Laura Maggioli
Deb Shattuck
Devon Treadwell - our case Manager with RAGOM and The Retrievers out of Minnesota
Joyce Hagen - also with The Retrievers
Lana Kollross
Lorraine McHugh
Elizabeth Laney
Linda Urheim
Amy Comstock - Forsyth Humane Society
Hall County Animal Shelter
Jeanne Flaim
Karen Gillespie
