Hello, our names are Molly and David. Pictured on this page is our dog, Sadie. We are creating this GoFundMe page because we don't know where else to turn. Our dog Sadie has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in her lower back and knees, as well as a torn ACL. She's very active for her age; you wouldn't think she's an elder by how much she loves to run and play. But nonetheless, age is catching up with our baby as it does everyone. We are exploring options for ACL surgery or alternative treatments, but we need some help. The vet gave an estimate of $5,000 for the cost of surgery. We aren't sure where to turn, so we decided to reach out publicly to anyone who would listen. I understand we are asking a lot from people we may not even know or meet, and we understand completely if you can't donate or don't believe in what we are saving up for. Sadie is our baby; she's part of our family, and you don't give up on family. If you're reading this and you feel moved to donate even a couple of dollars, just know that it's going towards making sure this beautiful animal continues to live a happy life for as long as possible.
