Sadie Sunshine is a 1-year-old Labrador in Austin, TX, who needs $1,011 for knee surgery.

When Sadie Sunshine arrived at her foster home, her foster mom quickly realized something wasn't quite right. Poor Sadie was limping!
Lucky Lab Rescue and Adoption immediately had her seen by a vet who said the Lab has a damaged patella (knee cap) and requires surgery. Sadie Sunshine is a young dog, and if she does not get this surgery, she risks being in pain for the rest of her life.

Lucky Lab saved her from a shelter after she and her sibling were found dumped on the side of a road. The nonprofit organization can't believe how sweet, happy, and well adjusted she is after being abandoned and stuck in an animal control facility. Sadie Sunshine is perfectly named! She is a constant ray of sunshine.

Lucky Lab relies on donations to continue to carry out its life-saving dog rescue work. The group never turns away a dog because they need medical assistance. Help Sadie Sunshine get the surgery she needs at Williams-Sebby Veterinary Clinic.

When it comes time for treats, she is the gentlest girl we’ve ever met. She is so slow and careful. Rather than grabbing it out of your hand like some dogs do, you have to be patient while she gently takes the treat 😊 Sadie absolutely loves to snuggle. She enjoys spending her days upside down on the bed or dog bed and will snuggle up against your side (gently, of course) if you allow her to.

"Sadie Sunshine got her name because her personality is just that, sunshiney," the rescue's Kat F. tells Waggle. "While her face always looks very serious in pictures, Sadie has a loving, playful personality that is larger than life! She loves getting attention from anyone and will hustle on over if she thinks there’s the potential for a pat or scratch. Sadie just knows that everyone loves her!"
