What Is The Sadie Fund?The Animal Welfare Society spends approximately $150,000 annually on medical care for aged, injured, and sick homeless animals. Of the thousands of animals that arrive at AWS each year, difficult decisions must be made based on the long-term quality of life and costs of medical care that may include daily medications, Lyme disease and heartworm treatments, spay/neuter surgery, or even life-saving procedures like joint replacement or amputation.
A donation to the Sadie Fund will directly help to pay for medical care to save more special homeless animals like Sadie.
While Sadie was the inspiration for AWS to rename this special fund, she is just one of many heartwarming success stories of dogs and cats who arrived at the shelter with medical maladies and are now healthy and happy in new homes.

Surrendered by her owner who could not afford to properly care for her health
problems, Sadie arrived at AWS with a severe skin allergy, Lyme disease, and
kidney failure. In spite of her many medical issues, it was obvious to our staff
that this little 8-year-old Shih Tzu had a huge heart, tons of charisma, and a
keen zest for life. She quickly charmed the entire AWS staff. After a long, happy life in her adoptive home she passed away at the age of 16 in 2008
