Mission
Sage Compassion for Animals provides financial assistance for veterinary care to help companion animals in crisis and educates communities about ways to prevent and reduce illness.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s Director of Development and/or Executive Director.
Partnering with SageC4A has been a game changer
for us. Their expertise, dedication, and seamless cooperation has helped provide crucial surgical care for so many pets. It’s a beautiful partnership between organizations with a common goal; working alongside such an esteemed and compassionate team isn’t just
an honor, it’s a privilege.
No Pet Left Behind
Over 90% of every donated dollar goes directly to veterinary care, making a life-saving difference for pet families in crisis.
• $2,500 can save the life of a pet, covering an emergency surgery of critical treatment.
• $5,000 enables Sage Compassion for Animals to fund higher-cost procedures – like an orthopedic fracture repair by a specialist.
• $15,000 donated quarterly, enables Sage Compassion for Animals to double the amount of immediate emergency grants available.
