Sage is a 1-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Coon Rapids, MN, who needs $2,000 for Intestinal Foreign-Body Removal.

Sage came into my life at the age of 6 weeks old. She was given to me as a gift for my 50th birthday. She has been my highlight of every day, and has been a joy to be with. She has such an awesome temperment and is so much like me. We just fit. She has a sister who is 6 months younger then her (Same dad, different mom). She also has a new puppy in the home who is 6 months old. Sage is a staffy...

Sage is a cuddlebug, she is very close and loved by all in our household. She definitely moves to the beat of her own drum, but listens to me very well. She has been healthy and fun, but loves to eat things shes not supposed to which has lead us to her current situation. She means the world to everyone in our home.

Sage is very quiet, she stays close, and is very protecting over me. She speaks with her eyes, they tell so much. She is slew footed and prances rather then walks. She hates anything to be put on her (balms, smell goods, whatever it is she will run away from all fancy grooming). She loves to cuddle, and loves to play with her siblings.

Sage got into something and swallowed something that is not passing on its own. Due to this obstruction she is in need of surgery, we are being quoted between 2k-5k depending on where in her body the obstruction is at, the length of hospital stay and the likes, and they are requiring full payment up front.

I unfortunately, just got out of a week long stay at the hospital days after purchasing a new car, my financial status is dire right now as I am just trying to make rent this month. Now she is sick and I am struggling to come up with the amount needed to pay for this surgery
