Sadie is a 6 year old Labrador Retriever in St Petersburg , FL, who needs $2,000 for Septic Abdomen Exploratory Laparotomy.

Sadie is a six-year-old black labrador who was raised by another family. She was used for breeding multiple litters. After her spaying on May 7, 2025, Sadie was adopted by my parents. She came home with them on May 10. We had her for 4 days before having to take her in for life saving surgery due to sepsis after being spade.

The infection in Sadie's body cavity was going to take her life by that night if we did not seek help immediately. Thankfully, the sepsis has not spread to her organs. She is still considered high risk and will be in a critical care facility for an undetermined amount of time; from a few weeks to whenever she is 100% ready to come home.

Mom has had 7 vascular surgeries between Jan. 30, 2020-August 2022. Just like Mom's deceased black lab, Bella, Sadie is very alert in recognizing Mom's sensitive health condition. Because of this, Sadie is to be trained as a Medical Assistant Dog, to enhance her senses in changes in body chemistry, anticipate medical emergencies, and alert my parents to any potential life-threatening situations.

Surgery and extended care estimate is up to $20,000. The surgery itself was over $11,000 with a military discount. If you can contribute to help fray the cost of Sadie’s surgery & recovery, it will be greatly appreciated. Saving Sadie's life could mean saving my Mom's life.
