HELP US HELP YOUR CLIENTS IN FINANCIAL NEED!

SAGE Compassion for Animals prevents suffering and euthanasia by providing financial assistance to families with companion animals in medical crisis.  We received our 501c3 status in March 2020.  Our Board Members are veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and non-profit consultants, have deep ties with animal shelters and rescue groups and understand the financial constraints that some pet families are limited by in making the best decisions about their pet’s health.  We are passionate about providing financial assistance for veterinary care and educating communities about how to prevent and reduce illness.  We recognize and acknowledge that compassion fatigue in veterinary medicine is compounded by pet parents having limited financial resources.

We are partnering with all veterinary practices in the San Francisco Bay Area to help provide financial assistance to your clients in need that have a companion animal in an acute medical crisis.  We are looking for guidance from you if your client and their pet meet our eligibility requirements and if you are willing to offer at least a 25% discount on your services. If your client and your patient are awarded a grant, we send the check directly to you!
