Jackie ( f.k.a. Yaqui), now Sadie, is a 6-month-old adorable purebred Golden puppy. Unfortunately, this little girl had a broken leg and her surrendering owner could not afford the much-needed medical care. Since this was an urgent situation (what we refer to as a “911 transport”), the transport angels sprang into action and whisked this precious pup to one of our wonderful partner veterinary offices. The vet there diagnosed a fracture in the left stifle that would require surgery with insertion of a plate. Jackie went through surgery with flying colors and was released to her new family. Her adopters were excited to welcome this beautiful girl into their home! They sent this message:

Sadie rescued us September 9, 2018 at a time when we really needed her. We had just lost our Golden, Gracie, on July 5th at 10 ½ years old after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. We had just sent our daughters off to college in August. Our house had never been cleaner or quieter, and we just couldn’t take it! Sadie came to our home at 6 months of age after her surgery, with a plate and 6 screws in her left rear leg and sporting a beautiful yellow and green cast. She was very restricted in her movement for many weeks. AGR provided a wonderful pen that we could use to help limit her activity according to her recovery plan over the next 8 weeks. Two members of AGR were wonderful supporters who helped Sadie progress through her healing. The medical staff and team at AMSC did a terrific job on her surgery and post-op care. After 8 weeks of therapy, she is fully healed and has no sign of her leg having been broken. Sadie loves her walks and is up to 2.5 miles at a time! Her personality has really blossomed, and she has the sweetest, most affectionate disposition. We feel truly blessed that we got to support her recovery and healing and she gave us the complete home that we were looking for. Our home is filled with fur, happy puppy kisses and unconditional puppy love. Life is good!”
