Sage is a 3-year-old Dogo Argintino in Washington , DC, who needs $2,000 for ICU.

I have had Sage since she was 6 weeks old. She is one of the sweetest and most loving dogs I have ever had. I got Sage for addition emotional support during the pandemic after the loss of my dog Ginger who passed away from old age. She has helped me to make it through a bi-lateral lung transplant, the death of my mom due to COVID and other emotional and physical challenges that I have faced.

Sage is my best friend she is always there for me. She cuddles with me when I am not feeling well. She loves to play with her son Adonis and run the household. She is referred to as Madam Sage because she is such a prissy girl. She always looking for a good trat or snack and is willing to perform cute tricks for food. LOL

Sage and my son stepson Dj are the best of friends her referrers to her as his "sister". She has a love/annoyed relationship with her son Adonis. She is used to being the center of attention and the recipient of all the love and affection otherwise she demands it.

On 2-27-24 my home was destroyed in a horrific fire. My dogs Sage and Adonis were rescue by my father and a family friend who came home during the fire. Both of them were in ICU as a result of the injuries they sustained during this tragic event. Sage has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on almost 50% of her body. She has had to undergo 3 surgeries thus far and will require more intensive care to recover.

The level of care Sage requires is crucial in order for her to survive. I have run out of reserves with paying over 20K out of pocket already and the bill continues to rise and if I am not able to pay the hospital will discontinue her care.
