Mac
Mac needs help breathing- help him get corrective surgery!
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Mac is only five years old. He should be racing through the yard, playing without exhaustion, curling up for naps without gasping for air. Rescued by Saving Sage, Mac has been living with a severe and painful palate condition that restricts his airway and makes even simple daily activities exhausting. Breathing is hard. Resting is hard. Existing comfortably is hard. Imagine never being able to fully catch your breath. That is Mac’s reality. Yet through all of this, Mac remains the kind, trusting, loving soul everyone falls in love with — a dog who still leans in for affection, still wags his tail, still hopes for better days despite the discomfort he lives in. But hope alone cannot fix what his body is enduring. Without surgery, Mac’s condition will continue to rob him of comfort, energy, and precious time. And with his sixth birthday approaching, Saving Sage knows they cannot let another year pass with Mac suffering like this. Mac urgently needs BOAS corrective surgery, including soft palate repair to open his airway so he can breathe properly, along with a necessary scrotal ablation procedure to address additional chronic discomfort. These are not cosmetic procedures. They are critical interventions that will dramatically improve his quality of life and help prevent worsening respiratory distress. For the first time in his life, Mac could know what it feels like to breathe without fear. Saving Sage is committed to giving him that chance — but rescue cannot shoulder these major surgical costs alone. That is why they are asking for your help today. Your donation is more than medical funding. It is oxygen. It is relief. It is comfort. It is more happy years for a dog who has suffered in silence far too long. Mac has spent five years fighting for every breath. Please help make sure the rest of his life comes easier. Donate today and help give Mac the gift of breathing freely.
Cherry
Cherry's Broken Jaw Can't Wait—She Needs Emergency Surgery
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Every day, animal rescues are forced to make impossible decisions. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is already beyond capacity. Their kennels are full, their resources are stretched to the limit, and they even have a sign on the door explaining that they simply cannot take in another animal. But then Cherry arrived. A compassionate Good Samaritan walked through the doors carrying a tiny kitten who was suffering from a devastating injury—a severely fractured jaw. Frightened, unable to eat, and in obvious pain, Cherry needed immediate medical attention. There was no way to turn this kitten away. Some emergencies don't wait for space to open up. Some lives simply can't be left behind. Cherry was immediately brought to safety, where the veterinary team confirmed the severity of the injury. The fracture is too complex to heal on its own and requires emergency surgery with a veterinary specialist. Without surgical repair, Cherry will continue to suffer significant pain, the bones could heal improperly, and this sweet kitten could face lifelong difficulties eating, grooming, and living a normal life. Despite already operating beyond capacity, Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation refused to let Cherry suffer alone. They stepped in without hesitation because every animal deserves the chance to heal—especially one who has already endured so much. Now they need your help. Emergency cases like Cherry's are impossible to predict, but they can't be ignored. Every dollar donated will go directly toward the specialized surgery and veterinary care Cherry urgently needs to relieve the pain, repair the damage, and give this tiny kitten the opportunity to grow into the healthy, happy cat she was always meant to be. Cherry's future depends on receiving this surgery in time. Please make a donation today. No gift is too small, and together we can ensure that the rescue never has to choose between saving a life and affording the care that life requires. Help Cherry heal. Help her eat without pain. Help her finally have the future she deserves.
Celisse
Double Diagnosis, One Second Chance: Help Celisse Save Her Sight and Beat Heartworm
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Meet Celisse, a beautiful four-year-old dog whose journey to a better life is only just beginning. Shortly after her rescue, Celisse was diagnosed with heartworm disease —a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires prompt treatment to prevent permanent damage to her heart and lungs. As if that weren't enough, she is also suffering from a painful eye condition that requires evaluation by a veterinary ophthalmologist to determine the best course of treatment and help preserve her vision. Time is critical. The sooner Celisse can begin heartworm treatment and receive specialized care for her eye, the better her chances of making a full recovery and living the happy, healthy life she deserves. Celisse's story is especially meaningful to our rescue. Her father, Glen, is still waiting for his own chance at a forever home in the shelter, and we previously transferred her mother to one of our partner organizations. Now it's Celisse's turn to break the cycle and finally experience the love and security every dog deserves. Despite everything she's facing, Celisse remains incredibly sweet and hopeful. She greets everyone she meets with a gentle spirit, never letting her medical challenges define her. She has already overcome so much just by making it out of the shelter, and now she needs our help to take the next step toward a brighter future. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is committed to giving Celisse every opportunity to heal, but the costs of specialty ophthalmology care, heartworm treatment, diagnostics, medications, and follow-up appointments add up quickly. 💜 You can be part of Celisse's second chance. Every tax-deductible donation, no matter the amount, helps provide the lifesaving veterinary care she urgently needs. If you're unable to donate, sharing her fundraiser with your family and friends is another wonderful way to make a difference. Thank you for supporting Celisse and helping Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation continue saying "yes" to dogs who need them most. Together, we can give Celisse the healthy future she's been waiting for. 🐾
Huey
Abandoned, Broken, and Still Fighting: Help Huey Get the Care He Deserves
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Someone left Huey on a bench outside Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation in nothing more than a carrier. There was no note. No explanation. Just a frightened little Yorkshire Terrier mix who could barely keep his balance. Huey was walking in circles, his eyes darting uncontrollably, and he struggled to stay on his feet without falling over. It was obvious something was terribly wrong. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation immediately rushed him for veterinary care. Initial diagnostics, including X-rays, painted a heartbreaking picture. Not only was Huey suffering from serious neurological problems, but the imaging also revealed evidence of horrific trauma. Veterinarians found a fractured back, approximately seven new fractures and nearly twenty healed fractures, leading them to suspect that Huey had endured prolonged, severe abuse before he was abandoned. Despite everything he has been through, Huey has never stopped fighting. Huey was referred to a veterinary neurologist after showing persistent neurological signs, including involuntary eye movements (nystagmus), circling, difficulty walking, and suspected vision and hearing loss. While he has made encouraging progress with supportive care and antibiotics, he continues to circle in unfamiliar environments, has an abnormal high-stepping gait, and still shows signs of neurological impairment. After a comprehensive neurological examination, specialists determined that Huey's condition likely involves multiple areas of his brain, including the cerebellum, which controls coordination and movement. There are several possible causes, including previous head trauma, a brain infection, congenital abnormalities, a stroke, or another neurological disorder. While his improvement is encouraging, the exact cause remains unknown. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is continuing conservative management for now while Huey remains on antibiotics and restricted activity. Due to his previous spinal fractures, he must avoid jumping, rough play, and other high-impact activities while he continues to heal. One thing is abundantly clear: Huey has not given up. Even after everything he has endured, he greets his caregivers with a happy spirit and a determination that inspires everyone who meets him. His neurologist believes his quality of life is good and that he deserves every opportunity to continue his recovery. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is committed to giving Huey that chance, but they cannot do it alone. Your donation will help cover the cost of Huey's neurological evaluations, ongoing medications, follow-up care, diagnostic testing, and the specialized treatment he needs as veterinarians continue searching for answers. Huey has already survived unimaginable cruelty. Now he deserves compassion, healing, and hope. Please donate today to help this resilient little survivor continue his journey toward the safe, pain-free life he's always deserved. 7/23/26 Update After everything this little dog has endured, we're so grateful to share that Huey continues to make encouraging progress. While his recovery has been slow, it has also been filled with hope. Huey's neurological condition has improved with time, supportive care, and medication. Although he still faces significant challenges, he's adapting remarkably well. His veterinary team has determined that Huey is mostly deaf and mostly blind, though he is still able to detect shadows and navigate familiar surroundings with increasing confidence. Despite these lasting impairments, Huey's joyful personality continues to shine through. His journey is far from over. Huey will continue to need ongoing veterinary monitoring, medications, and follow-up veterinary care to ensure he remains comfortable and continues making progress. While some of the damage caused by the unimaginable abuse he suffered may be permanent, his improvement is a testament to the incredible difference that compassionate medical care and a safe, loving environment can make. Your continued support will help cover Huey's ongoing medical care, follow-up appointments, medications, and specialized treatment as he continues his recovery. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation give this resilient little survivor the care he deserves. Please consider making a donation today. Together, we can help ensure Huey continues moving forward toward the happy, safe, and loved life he's fought so hard to find.
Annie
Annie Needed Emergency Surgery. Now She Needs You.
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Annie's life changed the moment she arrived at Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation. This young adult dog was surrendered by her former family after spending her life unspayed. Soon after arriving in rescue, Annie had to undergo emergency Pyometra surgery or she may not have survived. Thanks to the quick action of Saving Sage and their veterinary team, Annie received the lifesaving surgery she desperately needed. She is now recovering safely and finally has the chance to enjoy the healthy future every dog deserves. While Annie's prognosis is good and things are now looking up, emergency procedures like hers are expensive. Between emergency diagnostics, surgery, hospitalization, medications, and follow-up care, the costs add up quickly. Saving Sage never hesitates to say "yes" when an animal's life is on the line, but they can't do it alone. Your donation will help cover Annie's emergency medical expenses and ensure that Saving Sage can continue providing lifesaving care to dogs who arrive with urgent medical needs. Thank you for helping Annie begin the happy, healthy life she has always deserved.
Post
Senior Dogs Deserve Comfort. Help Post Live Comfortably.
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
For most of his life, Post knew only neglect. This senior Beagle is one of the dogs rescued from Ridglan Farms by Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation. Like so many dogs from this facility, Post arrived with significant medical needs that had gone untreated for years. One of the most serious issues was his dental health. A recent veterinary visit revealed extensive dental disease that was causing Post pain and discomfort. The damage was so severe that veterinarians had no choice but to remove 15 teeth. While the procedure was necessary, it was also a reminder of just how long Post had been living without the care every dog deserves. The good news is that Post is now recovering and finally getting the medical attention he has needed for years. With his painful teeth removed, he can begin to enjoy life with greater comfort and a better quality of life as he lives out his new life. As a senior dog with a history of neglect, Post requires ongoing veterinary treatment, medications, diagnostics, and supportive care. These expenses add up quickly, and Saving Sage is committed to ensuring he receives everything he needs to thrive. Your donation will help cover Post's recent dental procedure and ongoing medical care, while also allowing Saving Sage to continue helping other dogs rescued from similar situations. Every contribution helps provide comfort, healing, and a brighter future for dogs like Post. Thank you for being part of his second chance.
Piper
Found Broken and Hiding, Piper Needs Your Help to Heal
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
When rescuers with Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation spotted Piper near a drainage pipe outside the shelter, they knew something was terribly wrong. The frightened cat was hiding in pain, trying to survive on his own. As they carefully approached him, the extent of his suffering became heartbreakingly clear. Piper has a broken leg, painful open wounds, and severe infections in both ears. He is also experiencing concerning issues with his eyes that require veterinary evaluation and treatment. No animal should have to endure this level of pain alone, yet Piper has been doing exactly that. Despite everything he has been through, Piper has shown incredible resilience. Now safely in the care of Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, he finally has a chance to receive the medical attention he desperately needs. Piper's road to recovery will not be easy. His broken leg requires treatment, his infections must be addressed, and veterinarians need to determine the cause of his eye problems so he can begin healing. The cost of this care adds up quickly, placing a significant burden on the rescue that stepped in to save him. That's where you can help. Your donation will directly support Piper's veterinary care and give him the opportunity to recover from the injuries and neglect he has endured. Every dollar brings him one step closer to a life free from pain—a life where he never has to hide in fear again. If you're unable to donate, sharing Piper's story can make a tremendous difference. Together, we can help ensure this sweet dog gets the second chance he deserves. Please donate today and help Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation provide Piper with the care, comfort, and hope he needs to heal.
14 Cats Spay/Neuter
Help Us Stop the Cycle: 14 Rescued Cats Need Spay & Neuter Care
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
For every kitten born outside, the odds are stacked against them from the very beginning. Hunger, disease, injury, harsh weather, predators, and overcrowded shelters become part of daily survival. Right now, we have rescued 14 cats from the streets who desperately need spay and neuter surgeries before they are forced back into that dangerous cycle. These cats have already suffered enough. Many came to us underweight, sick, injured, or exhausted from trying to survive outdoors. Some were already pregnant. Others were fighting infections, wounds from territorial battles, or illnesses spread through unaltered colonies. Without intervention, the cycle would continue — more kittens born into suffering, more cats struggling to survive, and more overcrowded shelters pushed beyond capacity. Spaying and neutering is one of the most important and lifesaving things we can do for homeless animals. It not only prevents unwanted litters, but also dramatically reduces the risk of serious health problems and injuries. Spayed females are protected from deadly uterine infections and certain cancers. Neutered males are less likely to roam, fight, or suffer severe wounds and infections from territorial behavior. Altered cats also help reduce the spread of disease within outdoor colonies and create healthier, safer communities for both animals and people. Most importantly, spay and neuter saves lives by preventing overcrowding in shelters and rescues already struggling to keep up. Every year, countless healthy and treatable animals lose their lives simply because there are not enough homes, space, or resources available — a heartbreaking reality known as economic euthanasia. Preventing litters before they are born is one of the only ways we can truly reduce this crisis long-term. Our goal is to raise funds to cover the surgeries, vaccines, pain medication, and recovery care for all 14 cats. Every donation, no matter the amount, directly helps stop suffering before it starts and gives these cats a chance at healthier, safer lives. By supporting this fundraiser, you are not just helping 14 cats. You are helping prevent generations of suffering. Please donate today and help us give these cats — and countless future kittens — the future they deserve. 5/27/26 Update Thanks to your incredible support, all 14 cats in this campaign have now received the spay and neuter surgeries and medical care they desperately needed. Because of your kindness, these cats are no longer trapped in the dangerous cycle of homelessness, suffering, and endless litters born into hardship. Many of these cats came to us sick, injured, frightened, and exhausted from life on the streets. Some were battling infections, healing from wounds, or already pregnant when they were rescued. Today, because people like you chose to care, they are safer, healthier, and finally being given a chance at a better future. This is what real change looks like: fewer kittens born into danger, fewer cats struggling to survive outdoors, and more animals given the opportunity to live safe, healthy lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with these cats and making this lifesaving work possible. Every single donation, share, and message of support mattered more than you know. Together, we changed the future for these 14 cats — and for countless others yet to come.
Mia
This Tiny Kitten Has a Serious Heart Murmur
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Mia was rescued from the streets after struggling to survive alone outdoors. Despite everything she endured, she is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and full of life. But shortly after being rescued, veterinarians discovered something deeply concerning — Mia has a high-grade heart murmur. Because of the severity of the murmur, Mia urgently needs specialized veterinary care, including an echocardiogram and advanced diagnostics to determine exactly what is wrong with her tiny heart and what treatment she may need moving forward. Right now, there are still many unknowns. The echocardiogram will allow specialists to evaluate whether Mia was born with a congenital heart defect or if another serious cardiac condition is threatening her life. Without these critical diagnostics, veterinarians cannot properly diagnose or treat her condition. For such a tiny kitten, every moment matters. Despite her difficult start, Mia continues to purr, cuddle, and trust the people trying to save her. She deserves the chance to grow up safe, healthy, and loved — something she never had while struggling on the streets. Unfortunately, specialized cardiac testing and veterinary care are extremely expensive, and we urgently need help covering the cost of Mia’s echocardiogram and medical treatment. Please consider donating to help Mia receive the lifesaving diagnostics and care she desperately needs. Every donation brings this tiny kitten one step closer to answers, treatment, and the future she deserves. If you cannot donate, sharing Mia’s story could help save her life. After surviving life on the streets, Mia finally has people fighting for her. Now we just need the resources to help her little heart keep beating strong. 7/14/26 Update We are so happy to share a wonderful update on sweet Mia! After being rescued from the streets and receiving the veterinary care she needed, Mia was diagnosed with a high-grade heart murmur. While her heart condition will continue to need monitoring, she has proven to be a resilient, affectionate little kitten who hasn't let it dampen her joyful spirit. The best news of all? Mia has found her forever home! She was adopted by a loving family who welcomed her with open arms—and she even has a kitten sibling to keep her company. The two have quickly become the best of friends and can often be found cuddling together, giving Mia the comfort, companionship, and love she always deserved. Mia's journey began with uncertainty and hardship, but thanks to your generosity, she received the care that gave her a chance at a brighter future. Today, she's no longer struggling to survive on the streets. Instead, she's safe, cherished, and surrounded by a family committed to giving her the best life possible. From all of us, thank you for making Mia's happy ending possible. Your compassion helped turn a vulnerable stray kitten into a beloved family member, and we couldn't be more grateful for your support.
20 Beagles
20 Beagles Are Finally Leaving a Life of Confinement — Help Us Show Them Freedom
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
For their entire lives, these beagles have known cages. No soft beds. No grass under their paws. No toys. No families. No one whispering that they are safe. They were born inside Ridglan Farms, one of the nation’s most controversial commercial beagle breeding facilities, where thousands of dogs have been raised for laboratory research and testing. For years, Ridglan has been the focus of heartbreaking allegations, investigations, and public outcry over the suffering of the dogs inside. And now, after all this time… Twenty of those beagles are coming to Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation. Twenty souls who have never known what it means to simply be someone’s dog. We have committed to taking them in, holding them for the very first time, and guiding them through the terrifying but beautiful journey from laboratory survivor to beloved family member. But saying yes to them means saying yes to an enormous amount of medical and rehabilitative care. These dogs are arriving in just days, and they will each need: ❤️ spay/neuter surgeries ❤️ core vaccines ❤️ heartworm testing ❤️ parasite treatment ❤️ medications as needed ❤️ nutritious food, beds, crates, leashes, and essentials These beagles have spent their lives in confinement with little normal handling, little environmental stimulation, and none of the experiences companion dogs know. Some may arrive frightened. Some medically compromised. All of them will need patience, safety, and extensive care as they learn that the world can be kind. This is where you come in. Saving Sage cannot transform the lives of 20 laboratory beagles alone. The intake costs for this many dogs at once are staggering, and every single dollar will go toward helping these survivors become healthy, adoption-ready, and finally able to begin real lives. And there is something even bigger at stake: If we can secure enough foster homes and enough funding, we may be able to say yes to even more. That means more beagles out. More cages emptied. More lives changed forever. We urgently need: FOSTERS. DONORS. SHARES. ALL HANDS ON DECK. Please help us welcome these beagles with the care they have been denied their entire lives. Together, we can make their first chapter of freedom one filled with warmth, healing, and love. Donate today and help us show these 20 beagles what a good life feels like. 5/15/26 Update We are beyond excited to share that all of our Ridglan Farms rescue beagles are now safely settled into foster homes — and they are already beginning to discover the joys of being loved. For the first time in their lives, these sweet dogs are experiencing soft beds, warm homes, gentle cuddles, toys, open spaces, and the simple comfort of feeling safe. Watching them learn how to play, relax, and seek affection has been nothing short of incredible. These beagles spent their entire lives inside a breeding and testing facility, deprived of the experiences every dog deserves. Many had never touched grass, curled up on a couch, or known what it felt like to be cherished by a family. Now, little by little, their personalities are shining through. Some are discovering toys with curiosity and excitement. Others are soaking up every cuddle they can get. Every tail wag, every nap in a cozy bed, and every moment of trust feels like a victory. But while they are finally safe, their journey is still just beginning. These dogs continue to need extensive veterinary care, including spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, diagnostics, medications, and ongoing rehabilitation as they adjust to life outside the laboratory environment. Your support is what made it possible to say yes to these beagles. And with so many medical and care expenses still ahead, we urgently need continued help to give them the futures they deserve. Please consider donating to support their ongoing care and recovery. Every dollar helps provide medical treatment, supplies, nutritious food, and the loving support these survivors need as they learn what it truly means to be free.
Clara
A Simple Surgery Can Protect Clara’s Future — Please Help
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.

And Clara tries. She greets the world with bright eyes, a wagging tail, and the kind of joyful spirit that makes everyone around her smile. But behind that sweet face, Clara is living with a painful medical issue that cannot be ignored. This precious girl has a hernia that requires surgical repair.

Crash
Crash Has a Painful Cherry Eye That Needs Surgery — Help Him Finally Find Relief
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Rescued by Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, this sweet boy is finally safe—but safety alone does not erase the discomfort he is living with every single day. Crash is suffering from a painful cherry eye, a condition where the tear gland prolapses and protrudes from the corner of the eye, leaving it swollen, irritated, inflamed, and vulnerable to ongoing injury and infection. What may look minor from the outside is anything but minor for Crash. His exposed gland causes constant irritation, dryness, and discomfort. Every blink is frustrating. Every day leaves his eye at risk for worsening inflammation, trauma, and long-term damage to his tear production and vision if not surgically corrected. Crash deserves better than a life of chronic pain. He needs single cherry eye repair surgery to properly reposition the gland, preserve healthy eye function, and finally give him the relief he desperately needs. Without this procedure, Crash will continue to suffer daily discomfort and face increasing risk of infection and permanent complications. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is committed to making sure Crash gets the medical care he needs—but as a rescue, unexpected surgical expenses add up quickly, and they cannot do this alone. That is why we are asking for your help. Your donation will go directly toward: ❤️ Crash’s cherry eye corrective surgery ❤️ pre-operative veterinary care ❤️ medications for pain and inflammation ❤️ post-operative follow-up and healing support This simple surgery can change Crash’s life in a big way. It can mean no more constant irritation. No more rubbing and inflammation. No more daily discomfort. Just healing, comfort, and the chance to move forward feeling good for the first time. Please help us give Crash the surgery he needs. Donate today and help Crash see a brighter, pain-free future.

Jack Sparrow
Jack Sparrow was found suffering on the streets of Miami — injured, infected, and completely alone
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
This poor cat had clearly been suffering for far too long. Covered in demodex mange, unfixed, FIV-positive, and weak from life outside, Jack Sparrow’s body showed all the signs of prolonged neglect. But the most devastating injury was impossible to ignore — he has a large, gaping open wound that requires intensive daily bandage changes, constant cleaning, and close veterinary monitoring to prevent infection and help the tissue heal. Every single day, this wound must be carefully treated. Without that ongoing care, Jack Sparrow is at serious risk for worsening infection, prolonged pain, and complications that could become life-threatening. On top of his wound management, Jack Sparrow is also being treated for severe demodex mange, a skin condition that leaves cats itchy, inflamed, and vulnerable to secondary infections. As an FIV-positive cat, his immune system is already compromised, making his recovery even more delicate and urgent. As soon as he is medically stable, Jack Sparrow will also need to be neutered. Neutering is a critical part of his recovery and future safety. Intact male cats like Jack Sparrow are far more likely to roam, engage in aggressive fights, sustain serious injuries, and spread illnesses like FIV throughout community cat populations. Without neuter, the dangerous cycle that likely led to his condition simply continues. By neutering Jack Sparrow, we are not only helping him live a healthier, safer life — we are preventing future suffering for other cats as well. Right now, Jack Sparrow desperately needs: • Daily bandage changes and wound management • Veterinary rechecks and monitoring • Medications to fight infection and manage pain • Treatment for demodex mange • Supportive care as his body begins to heal • Neuter once medically stable Jack Sparrow has likely spent his entire life trying to survive the harsh realities of being an unaltered stray cat in an overcrowded area. His injuries, illness, and FIV status are heartbreaking reminders of what happens when community cats do not receive timely medical intervention and sterilization. This is our chance to change that story. Your donation will help heal Jack Sparrow’s wound, treat his painful skin disease, and ensure he is neutered so he never has to return to the dangerous cycle that left him suffering in the first place. Please donate today to help Jack Sparrow recover — and help stop this cycle for good. His estimated medical care is $750, a significant burden for rescue, but this sweet cat finally has a chance to recover from the suffering he has lived with for who knows how long. Jack Sparrow did not deserve to be left in this condition. He deserves comfort, treatment, and the opportunity to know life beyond pain. Please donate today to help us cover Jack Sparrow’s urgent medical care and give this resilient boy the second chance he so desperately needs. 5/21/26 Update Jack Sparrow has come such a long way since the day he arrived in our care covered in painful mange, suffering from a massive open wound, and fighting simply to survive. Thanks to your incredible support, this sweet boy is finally healing — and for the first time, we can truly see him underneath all the pain and swelling he carried for so long. One of the most emotional milestones in Jack Sparrow’s recovery has been watching the swelling in his skin go down enough that we can finally see his beautiful eyes clearly. When he first came to us, his face and skin were so inflamed from severe demodex mange and infection that he looked absolutely miserable. Now, as his treatment continues to work, his comfort level has improved tremendously and his personality is beginning to shine through. His wound has been responding well to ongoing care, and the daily bandage changes, medications, and constant monitoring have made a huge difference in his healing journey. While he still has recovery ahead of him, Jack Sparrow is eating well, resting comfortably, and finally experiencing what it feels like to be safe and cared for. We are so grateful to every single person who donated, shared his story, and believed that this battered stray cat deserved a second chance. Because of you, Jack Sparrow was able to receive the intensive medical care he desperately needed, and today he is healing, comfortable, and finally beginning to enjoy life. Thank you for helping us show Jack Sparrow that his life matters.
Coco
Coco’s Heart Is Fragile — Your Support Can Strengthen His Future
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Coco was first surrendered by his family when severe allergies made it impossible for them to keep him. Soon after, he was adopted, and for a moment it looked like his story would have a happy ending. But that hope was short-lived. When his new family learned about the cost and complexity of his medical care, Coco was heartbreakingly returned. Now, Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is determined to give Coco the stability and care he deserves. During his veterinary evaluation, Coco was diagnosed with a grade 5 heart murmur, a serious condition that unfortunately cannot be corrected with surgery. Despite this, Coco is still full of love and deserves every chance at a comfortable, happy life. To better understand his condition, he has already undergone an echocardiogram, which confirmed the severity of the murmur. Coco will now begin two specialized medications to help support his heart and improve his quality of life. These medications are essential — but they are also very expensive. In addition, he will need ongoing bloodwork to monitor how his body responds to treatment, along with regular follow-up appointments and repeat echocardiograms to track his progress and adjust his care as needed. Through it all, Coco remains gentle, affectionate, and trusting. He doesn’t understand why he’s been passed from home to home — he only knows he still loves people and wants a quiet place to feel safe. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is committed to providing Coco with lifelong medical care, but they can’t do it alone. The cost of his diagnostics, medications, and continued monitoring is significant, and your support will directly impact his comfort and future. Please consider making a donation today to help Coco receive the ongoing care he needs. Every contribution — big or small — helps ensure this sweet boy can live his life surrounded by compassion, stability, and love.
Callie
Gentle Callie Needs Ongoing Care to Manage Her Digestive Disease
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Callie is a six-year-old cat who has been in foster care with Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation for the past five years. Despite the long wait, she has remained loving, affectionate, and trusting. She enjoys quiet companionship and gentle attention, and her foster family knows her as a truly special cat with so much love to give. Callie’s journey hasn’t been easy. She struggles with chronic digestive issues that require ongoing medical management to keep her comfortable and stable. Without consistent care, her symptoms can worsen quickly, making it difficult for her to feel well and maintain her quality of life. To help control her condition, Callie needs daily medication along with specialized veterinary visits. During flare-ups, she also requires IV fluids to support her hydration and help her recover. This level of care is essential for keeping Callie feeling her best — but it also comes with ongoing costs that add up over time. Even with these challenges, Callie remains sweet and loving. She continues to seek affection and enjoys the calm reassurance of the people who care for her. She’s been waiting patiently for years, and Saving Sage is committed to making sure she continues to receive the treatment she needs.

Over the past day, she stopped eating — something that is especially concerning given her history of chronic digestive issues. She has already had diagnostic bloodwork, and today she will undergo an ultrasound so the veterinary team can take a closer look at what may be causing this sudden decline. These diagnostics are important in determining the next steps and ensuring she receives the right treatment as quickly as possible. Despite this bump in the road, Callie is in caring hands and being closely monitored. Her team is doing everything they can to keep her comfortable while they search for answers.

Peony
Peony is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Lauderhill, FL, who needs $1,500 for diagnostics and treatment for liver condition.
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Peony is the kind of cat who makes friends instantly. He adores people, gets along beautifully with other animals, and is always ready to lean in for pets and affection. His gentle personality and sweet nature have earned him a special nickname at Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation — “the lover boy.” But right now, Peony isn’t feeling like himself. Recent bloodwork revealed abnormal liver enzymes, raising concern for possible liver disease. Shortly after, Peony developed jaundice (icterus), a serious condition that causes yellowing of the skin and eyes and signals that his liver is struggling. This is a critical moment for Peony, and he needs ongoing treatment to give his body the best chance to recover. Peony is currently receiving daily steroids and IV fluids to support his liver and help his body heal. These treatments are essential, but they come with mounting veterinary costs. His care requires close monitoring, medications, fluids, and follow-up testing to track his progress and adjust treatment as needed. Despite everything, Peony remains the affectionate, loving cat everyone knows. He still leans into gentle pets and seeks comfort from the people caring for him. He’s fighting — and we want to give him every chance to win. Your donation today will help provide: • Daily steroid treatment • IV fluids and supportive care • Ongoing veterinary monitoring • Follow-up bloodwork • The chance for Peony to recover and thrive Peony has given nothing but love — now he needs love in return.

River
Help River See a Pain-Free Future
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
River is truly one of a kind — and what makes her so special is her sweet personality. She loves to play, chase toys, and soak up attention from anyone willing to spend time with her. She’s the kind of cat who brings joy and laughter wherever she goes. Sadly, River is currently living with a painful eye condition that is affecting her comfort and quality of life. After veterinary evaluation, the best option to relieve her pain and allow her to move forward happily is eye removal surgery. While it may sound scary, cats adapt incredibly well, and this procedure will give River the chance to live pain-free and enjoy life the way she deserves. Without this surgery, River will continue to experience discomfort. With it, she can focus on what she does best — playing, loving, and being the sweet companion everyone adores. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation has scheduled River’s eye removal operation and is committed to giving her the care she needs. But they can’t do it alone. The cost of surgery, anesthesia, medications, and follow-up care adds up quickly. Your donation will help cover: • River’s eye removal surgery • Pain management and anesthesia • Post-operative medications • Follow-up veterinary care • A brighter, pain-free future River has her whole life ahead of her. This surgery isn’t just about removing an eye — it’s about removing pain and giving her the happy, playful life she deserves. Please consider donating and sharing River’s story. Every dollar helps this sweet girl get one step closer to comfort, healing, and a lifetime of love. \\\\----- \\\_If funds raised exceed the goal for this campaign, Waggle will use the surplus to help other animals in catastrophic situations and support our mission to end economic euthanasia.\\\_ 4/11/26 Update We’re so happy to share that River has successfully undergone her eye removal surgery, and she is now recovering well! Her procedure went smoothly, and her veterinary team is pleased with how she’s doing so far. Most importantly, River is already more comfortable. The painful eye that had been affecting her quality of life is no longer causing her distress, and she’s beginning the healing process surrounded by care and love. She’s resting, receiving her medications, and being closely monitored to ensure her recovery stays on track. We’re incredibly grateful for the support that made this surgery possible. Your kindness helped give River the chance to live comfortably and happily. Please continue to keep River in your thoughts as she heals. We can’t wait to share more updates as she gets stronger each day. 4/25/26 Update We are thrilled to share the best possible news about River — she has made a full recovery from her eye removal surgery and is feeling wonderful. Since her procedure, River has healed beautifully and has adjusted incredibly well. Most importantly, she is no longer living with the pain and discomfort that once affected her every day. She is back to being the playful, affectionate, joy-filled cat we all know and love. Watching her feel good again has been such a gift. And now, River’s journey gets even better. Because adoption opportunities are much more limited for cats here in Florida, River has officially gone on transport to our northern shelter partners, where cats are adopted much more quickly and have a far better chance of finding loving forever homes. This means River is not only healthy — she is now one huge step closer to the family she has always deserved. Your donations made every part of this possible: her surgery, her recovery, her comfort, and now her chance at a new beginning. What started as a painful medical need has turned into the fresh start River needed all along. Thank you for helping us change River’s life. Because of your kindness, her future is now bright, hopeful, and full of possibility. We cannot wait for the day she finds her forever home.
Kristi
Her Heart Needs Answers: Help Sweet Kitten Kristi Get the Echocardiogram That Could Save Her Life 💔
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Kristi is everything you could hope for in a kitten. She’s a total love bug whose favorite place in the world is curled up on someone’s lap, soaking in pets and attention. She doesn’t ask for much — just warmth, affection, and the chance to be close to her people. She is the definition of the perfect lap cat. But behind her sweet personality is a frightening diagnosis. Kristi has been found to have a heart murmur, and she urgently needs an echocardiogram to determine what’s happening inside her tiny heart and what treatment she may need. This specialized imaging is the only way veterinarians can understand the severity of her condition and create a plan to help her live a long, comfortable life. Without this critical test, Kristi’s future is uncertain. In fact, without answers, she may be placed into hospice care — not because she’s ready to give up, but because we simply don’t know how to help her yet. That’s a heartbreaking reality for a kitten who is otherwise full of love and life. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is determined to give Kristi a fighting chance. She deserves to grow up, to continue warming laps, to purr through cozy afternoons, and to experience the happy life every kitten should have. But we can’t do it without your support. Your donation today will go directly toward: • A life-saving echocardiogram • Diagnostic evaluation by veterinary specialists • Determining the best treatment plan for her heart condition • Giving Kristi hope for a full, happy future Every contribution — big or small — brings us closer to answers and gives this sweet girl the chance she deserves. Please help us keep Kristi’s heart beating strong. Donate and share her story today. Together, we can turn uncertainty into hope. 7/14/26 Update We wanted to share an update on our sweet lap-loving girl, Kristi. After undergoing further evaluation, Kristi was confirmed to have a Grade 5/6 heart murmur. While this is a significant finding and her heart will need ongoing monitoring, we're happy to report that Kristi is feeling great and continues to enjoy life to the fullest. She is currently thriving in her foster home, where her affectionate personality shines every single day. Kristi still loves nothing more than curling up in a warm lap, soaking up pets, and reminding everyone around her just how special she is. Despite her diagnosis, she remains happy, playful, and full of love. We know there may be challenges ahead, but for now, Kristi is exactly where she needs to be—safe, loved, and receiving the care she deserves. Her foster family is making sure she is comfortable while keeping a close eye on her health, and she couldn't ask for a better place to continue her journey. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared her story, and helped make her diagnostic care possible. Your generosity has given Kristi the opportunity to be monitored, loved, and supported instead of facing an uncertain future alone. From all of us at Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, thank you for believing in Kristi and helping this precious little girl continue to fill hearts—and laps—with love.
Miley
Help Miley Find Her Forever Home Before Day 1,000 💔
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
For nearly three years, Miley has been waiting. Sweet Miley has spent 990 days in the shelter at Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation — and in just 10 days, on March 22, she will reach 1,000 days without a home. It’s hard to imagine how a dog this loving is still waiting. Miley is 5 years old and 76 pounds, and despite spending so long in the shelter, she has never lost her joyful spirit. She greets volunteers with a wagging tail, bright eyes, and a heart full of love. In fact, she’s become a true volunteer favorite because of how affectionate and people-focused she is. More than anything, Miley just wants one person to call her own. She loves playing ball, spending time with her favorite humans, and soaking up every bit of attention she can get. Miley would thrive in a home where she can be the center of someone’s world, which is why she needs to be the only pet in the household. To help Miley finally find her forever family, we’re raising funds to provide training support and essential supplies for her future adopter. This campaign will help provide: 🎓 8 professional training sessions (valued at $90 each) to help Miley and her adopter build a strong bond and successful transition into home life. 🥣 Six months of food so her new family can focus on love, not expenses. By covering these costs, we’re removing barriers and making it easier for the right person to say yes to Miley. ### Miley has already spent 990 days waiting. We’re hoping with everything we have that she won’t have to reach day 1,000.

The person she has been waiting for might just see it. Together, we can make sure Miley’s 1,000th day is spent in a home — not a kennel.
Catherine
Rescued Mom Dog Catherine Is Critically Sick — Help Her Stay Strong for Her Puppy
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Just weeks ago, Catherine and her tiny baby Heath were found abandoned in a truck yard in Miami — a place our rescue sadly knows too well. We call it _the rockpit_, because it’s where people dump unwanted dogs and leave them to fend for themselves. Catherine is only 8 months old herself. Instead of growing up safe in a home, she was struggling to survive while caring for her 3-week-old puppy. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation stepped in and brought them to safety. But then everything took a frightening turn. Catherine suddenly began vomiting repeatedly — 6 to 7 times in a short period. We rushed her to the shelter where she received fluids and anti-nausea medications (Cerenia and ondansetron). When they weighed her, the news was alarming: Catherine had lost over a full pound, dropping from 6.2 lbs to just 5.1 lbs. For such a tiny dog, that amount of weight loss is extremely serious. She stabilized after treatment and seemed bright and alert when we brought her home. The shelter told us the medication should stop the vomiting. But only ten minutes after eating a small amount of wet food mixed with puppy milk replacer, Catherine vomited again. At that point, we knew she needed immediate veterinary care. We rushed her to a nearby veterinary clinic where they are running tests right now to determine what’s causing her severe vomiting and rapid weight loss. Our biggest fear is something like parvovirus or a dangerous infection, which could quickly become life-threatening — especially for a young nursing mother. While Catherine is fighting to get better, her tiny baby Heath still needs her. At just three weeks old, he relies on her completely. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is committed to doing whatever it takes to help Catherine recover so she can continue caring for her baby and eventually find the safe, loving home she has always deserved. But emergency veterinary care is expensive, and these unexpected cases add up quickly for a small rescue. Your support today can help cover: • Emergency exam and diagnostics • Bloodwork and testing to determine the cause of her illness • Medications and supportive care • Ongoing treatment to help Catherine recover and stay strong for Heath Every donation, no matter the amount, helps give this young mama the chance to heal and continue caring for her baby. Catherine has already survived abandonment and the harsh conditions of the rockpit. With your help, we can make sure this is where her story turns around. Please consider donating and sharing Catherine and Heath’s story. Together, we can help this tiny family get the care they urgently need.
Harvey
Harvey Deserves Better: Help This Sweet Bulldog See the World Without Pain
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Harvey is the kind of dog who makes people smile the moment they meet him. With his squishy bulldog face, gentle personality, and sweet, trusting eyes, he’s the definition of a good boy. But those same eyes are hurting. Harvey was recently surrendered to Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation by his owners, who told us they simply didn’t want him anymore. Just like that, Harvey lost the only home he knew. Despite the confusion and heartbreak, he has remained incredibly sweet, leaning into every gentle touch and looking to people for comfort. Now that he’s safe with us, we can see just how much he’s been suffering. Harvey has bilateral cherry eye, a painful condition where the gland in the third eyelid prolapses and becomes swollen and inflamed. Both of Harvey’s eyes are extremely red and irritated, and without surgery, the condition will continue to cause discomfort and could eventually lead to more serious eye problems. The good news is that cherry eye surgery has an excellent prognosis, and once repaired, Harvey will finally be able to live without the constant irritation and inflammation he’s experiencing now. But as a rescue, we can’t do this alone. Harvey has already been through the heartbreak of being given up by the people who were supposed to love him forever. We want to show him that the world is still full of kindness—and that he matters. Your donation will help cover Harvey’s bilateral cherry eye surgery, veterinary care, and recovery, giving him the chance to feel comfortable again and move forward toward the loving home he truly deserves. Every dollar brings Harvey one step closer to relief. Please help us give this beautiful boy the fresh start he’s been waiting for. 4/25/26 Update We have wonderful news to share — Harvey is officially scheduled for his cherry eye surgery at the end of May with the eye specialty veterinarian. This is a huge step forward for this sweet boy. Since coming into rescue, Harvey has done nothing but show us love despite all he has been through. Being surrendered by the only family he knew was heartbreaking enough, but living every day with the redness, irritation, and discomfort in both of his eyes has only added to his struggle. Soon, that relief is finally in sight. Harvey’s upcoming procedure will repair the painful prolapsed glands in both eyes and give him the chance to live without the constant inflammation that has been bothering him for so long. Once healed, he will not only feel better physically, but he’ll also be one step closer to the fresh start and forever home he deserves. We are so grateful that this surgery is now on the calendar — and it is only possible because of the kindness and support being shown to Harvey. Thank you for helping us move this deserving boy closer to comfort, healing, and a brighter future
Chiquita
Senior Chiquita Needs Care After Losing Her Person
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
This sweet senior girl is now known as Chiquita, and her world was turned upside down overnight. Chiquita was found alone inside a home beside her deceased owner. Confused, grieving, and suddenly without the only person she had ever known, she had nowhere to go. Thankfully, one of our own—a Saving Sage Animal Rescue volunteer, who was the sergeant on duty at the scene, made sure Chiquita was not left behind. After contacting next of kin and learning there was no one able to take her, Leah brought this precious girl straight into our care. Despite everything she has endured, Chiquita is incredibly gentle, loving, and trusting. She seeks comfort, affection, and reassurance—even while navigating unimaginable loss. Chiquita will need full veterinary care, including exams, bloodwork, vaccines, and a much-needed dental procedure to relieve discomfort and prevent further health issues. Aside from her dental needs, she appears to be in good health, especially remarkable given her age and the trauma she has experienced. Senior pets like Chiquita are often overlooked, yet they have so much love left to give. We are committed to giving her the care, comfort, and dignity she deserves—but we can’t do it alone. We are asking for your help to cover Chiquita’s veterinary care and dental treatment so she can begin this next chapter pain-free and surrounded by compassion. Every donation makes a difference. Every share helps her story reach someone who can help. Please help us show Chiquita that even after loss, love still exists
Peanut
Peanut Is Fighting for Her Life — Emergency Surgery Needed
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Saving Sage Animal Foundation received a plea for help that no rescue ever wants to face. Peanut was brought to us by her devastated owners, who love her deeply but simply cannot afford the lifesaving veterinary care she desperately needs. For days, Peanut has been vomiting, refusing food, and growing increasingly lethargic. Her family watched her condition worsen, knowing something was terribly wrong and feeling completely helpless. With no other options left, they came to us begging for help. Even though our rescue is already stretched thin, we could not turn Peanut away. We rushed her to our veterinarian, hopeful this might be something simple and treatable. Unfortunately, the news was devastating. X-rays revealed that Peanut has an intestinal obstruction and needs emergency surgery immediately in order to survive. The cost for Peanut’s diagnostics, hospitalization, and surgery is steep and is not something we can cover alone right now—but we cannot let Peanut suffer or lose her life when there is still a chance to save her. Without this surgery, Peanut is in severe pain, and the only other humane option would be euthanasia to prevent further suffering. We are urgently asking for your help to fund Peanut’s emergency surgery. Every single dollar makes a difference, and every share helps bring her closer to the care she needs. Please help us give Peanut the chance she deserves.
Peewee
Save Peewee: A Fragile Kitten in Need of Emergency Care
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Peewee is a tiny, one-month-old kitten rescued by Saving Sage Animal Foundation after being found completely alone outside. Fragile, sickly, and far too small to be on her own, Peewee was rushed straight to the veterinarian for urgent diagnostics and treatment. This little one is incredibly frail. Her eyes were crusted shut from severe infection, and her tiny body is fighting so much at such a young age. The veterinary team immediately started her on medications and supportive care to give her the best possible chance—but right now, the outcome depends on how her small body responds in the coming days. At just about a month old, Peewee should be nursing, growing, and discovering the world. Instead, she’s fighting to survive. Despite everything, she continues to show quiet determination, and we are holding onto hope that this tiny kitten will pull through. You can help Peewee fight. Your donation will go directly toward her veterinary diagnostics, medications, and ongoing care as Saving Sage does everything possible to give her a chance at life. If you’re unable to donate, sharing Peewee’s fundraiser helps spread the word and means more than you know. Thank you for standing with Peewee. Even the smallest lives are worth fighting for—and with your help, Peewee won’t have to fight alone.
Alastair
Thrown Away on I-95: Help Alastair Heal 💔
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
This week Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation was faced with a nightmare we wish we never had to see again. Alastair—a tiny kitten weighing just 1.5 pounds—was thrown from a moving vehicle on I-95. Discarded like trash. Left helpless on the roadway with painful road rash and no way to protect himself. Thankfully, a compassionate good Samaritan witnessed the unthinkable, contacted the police, and brought Alastair to us for help. Because of that one act of kindness, this little life was saved. While Alastair appears to be otherwise physically stable, the trauma he endured goes far beyond his injuries. Being violently abandoned at such a young age leaves emotional scars that take time, patience, and gentle care to heal. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. In South Florida, cruelty and abandonment like this have become far too common. Every day, we are called to help animals who have been neglected, abused, or discarded when they are no longer wanted. It is heartbreaking—and it stretches our rescue to its limits. Alastair survived something no animal ever should. With your help, we can give him the safety, compassion, and future he deserves—and continue fighting for animals who have no voice.

Easel
Help Easel Heal After a Devastating Predator Attack 💔
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Easel is just a tiny 1-pound kitten, but he’s already endured more trauma than any baby should. After suffering a serious predator attack, Easel lost one of his legs. Alone and vulnerable, his chances of survival were slim—but thankfully, help arrived just in time. Easel is now safe under the care of Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation. Despite everything he’s been through, Easel is a fighter. He’s receiving ongoing medical care, comfort, and the gentle support he needs to heal and adjust to life as a tripod kitten.

Thank you for helping us save lives, one tiny fighter at a time. 1/22/26 Update We’re so happy to share wonderful news about Easel. After surviving a devastating predator attack and losing one of his legs, this tiny kitten has shown us just how resilient he truly is. Easel underwent two surgeries before he even reached seven months old, allowing veterinarians to go deeper into the wound and ensure proper healing. Because of that care, Easel is now fully healed and living life like a normal, happy kitten. Today, Easel plays, explores, and wrestles without hesitation. He often plays on his side or while lying down, but that never slows him—he even keeps up with his much larger co-foster kitty, Cuddles, with no issues at all. His confidence, curiosity, and joy are constant reminders of what timely medical care can accomplish. Easel’s recovery is the direct result of the medical care your support makes possibl e. His surgeries, anesthesia, medications, post-operative care, and ongoing monitoring came at a significant cost, and his campaign is helping us cover those life-saving expenses. If you’re able, please consider donating to help us fully fund Easel’s veterinary care and close out the costs of his treatment. Every dollar given goes directly toward the care that saved Easel’s life and ensures he continues to thrive.

And here’s the best part… 💛 Easel’s foster may be falling in love and considering adopting him. 💛 While nothing is official just yet, it’s clear that Easel has made himself right at home.

Molly
Molly’s Fighting for Her Life After a Brutal Raccoon Attack
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Molly’s story is heartbreaking, but with your help, it doesn’t have to end in tragedy. This tiny kitten was rescued by a compassionate trapper and cared for on a patio until this past Saturday at 3 AM, when she was viciously attacked by a raccoon. The attack left her with severe puncture wounds and a broken hind leg with exposed bone. By the time Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation learned of her condition late Sunday night through Facebook, Molly still had not received any medical treatment. Knowing her life was in immediate danger, we rushed to get her pain medication and into emergency surgery first thing Monday morning. Once examined by our veterinary team, it was clear just how severe her injuries were. Molly had developed a massive infection, and the damage to her leg was so extensive that it required urgent amputation. Despite everything she has endured, Molly continues to fight, and we are committed to giving her every chance at survival. We are keeping Molly in our care so she can receive the extensive, critical treatment she now needs to heal and eventually find her forever home. But we cannot do this alone. 1/13/26 Update We’re incredibly relieved to share that Molly’s recovery has been remarkably smooth. Each day, she’s grown stronger, brighter, and more confident—astonishing everyone with her resilience.

This tiny kitten is climbing, playing, and greeting caregivers with gentle head bumps, as if to say thank you. Losing a leg never took away Molly’s spirit.

His Smile Hides a Struggle: Help Bam Bam Breathe
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Bam Bam’s story begins in the rural agricultural fields of South Florida’s Redlands, an area known for abandoned and discarded animals struggling to survive. This precious boy was rescued by our friends at @junior\_redlanddogsanctuary, who are caring for more than 90 dogs in need. When they asked for help, Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation stepped in — and that’s how Bam Bam found safety. From the moment he arrived, Bam Bam has stolen every heart he’s met. He’s an absolute delight — endlessly friendly, full of joy, and always wagging his tail. He adores people, loves other dogs, and moves through the world with the kind of sweetness that makes you wonder how he ever ended up abandoned in the first place. But behind his constant smile, Bam Bam is struggling. Because of severe inbreeding, Bam Bam suffers from Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome, a condition that makes it dangerously difficult for him to breathe. Dogs with this condition can overheat quickly, collapse without warning, and live in a constant state of discomfort. Without corrective surgery, his quality of life — and even his long-term safety — is at risk. Bam Bam needs specialized airway surgery to help him breathe normally. But this procedure is very expensive, and as a small rescue caring for so many animals in need, Saving Sage cannot cover the cost alone. Update 12/15/25 To help keep his mood up, Bam Bam even enjoyed a fun little field trip outside of the shelter recently—and as you can imagine, he soaked up every second of the attention and new sights with his signature wagging tail. As we move forward with his medical care, the next step will be an anesthetic exam, which is currently being scheduled. This exam is essential for the veterinary team to safely evaluate Bam Bam’s airway and get a clearer picture of exactly what’s going on. Once the vet has completed this assessment and determined the best surgical plan, we will be able to move ahead with scheduling his corrective airway surgery. Bam Bam’s journey isn’t over yet, but he’s on the right path—and that’s because of supporters like you. Your continued encouragement and donations are helping us take each necessary step to give this sweet boy the chance to breathe easier and live a safer, more comfortable life. Thank you for standing with Bam Bam and being part of his road to healing. 1/7/26 Update We have an important update to share — Bam Bam’s surgery is officially scheduled for tomorrow. This is a critical step in his journey, and we’re hopeful it will bring him much-needed relief and a safer, more comfortable future. As the big day approaches, Bam Bam is still being his cheerful, loving self — wagging his tail, soaking up attention, and trusting the people around him completely. That trust is not lost on us, and it’s exactly why we’re doing everything we can to give him the care he deserves. 💛 We still need help reaching our fundraising goal. The costs associated with his surgery, anesthesia, and follow-up care are significant, and every donation makes a real difference. If you’re able to give — or even share his campaign — you are directly helping Bam Bam get through this surgery and onto the path to healing. Thank you for standing by Bam Bam, cheering him on, and helping us take this life-changing step together. We’ll be thinking of him tomorrow and will share updates as soon as we can.
