Give a special gift to a sick or injured animal.
Could you contribute towards one of the animals below?
In line with our no-kill policy, sick & injured animals are nursed back to health at SADS rather than being euthanased as they may be elsewhere. This often involves expensive medical treatment. Vet bills are our single biggest expense.
If more money is donated to an animal than required, the remainder will be allocated to another animal's special need. Some of the animals on this page may have already been adopted, we do still appreciate any help with their bills. To see who is available for adoption please head to our "animals for adoption" page. We will always provide veterinary care regardless of whether donations for their special needs have been made in advance. We will never make our animals wait.
