Stray Thoughts Spring 2018 Sadie Continued

Long term medical care for a single animal can cost thousands of dollars . Most animal welfare organizations do not have money in their budgets to help animals with severe health issues , leading to those animals being euthanized . West Suburban has made it our mission to help those animals most in need . With the help of our generous supporters , we never have to turn away an animal in need .
It is our hope that someone will think Sadie is as special as we do and open their heart and home to her . With a donation to the Loving Angel Fund , you will allow us to provide assistance to Sadie ’ s new owners and many others in the future .
Even with everything she has been through , Sadie is a happy-go-lucky dog . She is a volunteer favorite and greets everyone with a tail that never stops wagging . We want Sadie to know the joy of living in a house and having a family to call her own . Please consider giving Sadie that precious gift !
