Sadie was 24 hours from being euthanized — and now she has a chance at a full, joyful life.

Just days ago, Sadie was living in fear. For the first three years of her life, she was kept locked in a basement kennel—isolated, terrified, and deprived of sunshine, walks, or comfort. Through no fault of her own, this gentle girl ended up on the euthanasia list, with less than 24 hours to live.

Then something incredible happened.

Veronica and David, a couple still grieving the recent loss of their beloved dog, Summer, heard about Sadie’s story on their local NextDoor. Despite their heartbreak, they opened their hearts again and brought Sadie home. David, now retired, and Sadie — who also suffers from severe separation anxiety — have become fast companions, while Veronica returns each night to a wagging tail and pure joy. In just a few days, Sadie is already transforming: she’s going on walks, sniffing nature with curiosity, and beginning to feel safe.

But Sadie still needs our help.

To ensure she stays healthy and secure in her forever home, Sadie needs to be spayed and receive post-operative care—especially tailored to support her anxiety and emotional healing. Her veterinary estimate is $1,900, provided by VCA Redwood Animal Hospital, where her surgery is scheduled for the end of August 2025. This timeline gives Sadie a few more weeks to continue settling into her new home, gaining trust, and feeling safe before undergoing what is a fairly extensive procedure for female dogs. The estimate includes the surgery, post-care medications, and behavioral support to help her recover gently and confidently.
