Help Sadie Get Her Second Surgery

Sadie was found wandering alone through a cemetery before ending up at an overcrowded California shelter, where her future was heartbreakingly uncertain. With shelters overflowing, Sadie was at risk of euthanasia—not because she had given up, but because there simply wasn’t enough space and resources to give her the care she needed.

When Bichon Rescue Brigade learned about her, they couldn’t let her story end there.

After rescuing Sadie, the extent of her suffering became clear. She was carrying multiple ulcerated mammary masses—painful tumors that had been left untreated for far too long. Every day she waited, her condition became more uncomfortable and her risk of serious complications grew.

Her veterinary team has already performed the first major surgery to remove the affected mammary chain, giving Sadie the relief she desperately needed. But her journey isn’t over yet.

Because of the extent of the disease, Sadie must recover from this surgery before she can undergo a second operation to remove the remaining mammary masses. Staging the procedures gives her body the best chance to heal safely, but it also means additional veterinary care, medications, follow-up visits, and another major surgery still lie ahead.

She’s recovering in a loving foster home through Bichon Rescue Brigade, where she’s surrounded by kindness and comfort instead of fear. After surviving life on the streets, facing euthanasia, and enduring painful untreated tumors, she’s finally able to rest while her body begins to heal.

Now we need your help to finish what her rescuers started.

Your donation will help cover Sadie’s remaining surgery and everything she needs to continue her recovery.

Every dollar brings her one step closer to a life free from pain—and one step closer to finding the loving forever home she’s always deserved.
