An Afternoon at The Pines

Sunday, September 20, 2026
The Pines - Sausalito, California

Sage Compassion for Animals brought our community of supporters, veterinary partners, pet families, and friends together for An Afternoon at The Pines, a special event celebrating pets, veterinary care, and the people who make our work possible.

Guests enjoyed an afternoon of food, conversation, and connection at the historic Pines in Sausalito and heard from renowned veterinary researcher Dr. Samantha Evans about groundbreaking advances in veterinary medicine and what they mean for the future of animal health.

Together, we celebrated the community that helps Bay Area pets receive urgent veterinary care and stay with the families who love them through Sage Compassion for Animals’ Healing Lives Program.

Take a look at photos from the afternoon and see the people, pets, and community that made An Afternoon at The Pines so special.

  • For Community

    We engage with diverse communities at a variety of animal welfare and other social events throughout the bay area. Our goal at these events is to educate and to provide free health and wellness information

  • For Grantees

    Pets provide a fundamental role in society and in the family and should be cared for when in need, regardless of the pet families’ financial circumstances.

  • For Pets

    The bond between a pet and its owner can be one of the strongest relationships in a person’s life. Pets rely on their owners to keep them safe, fed and loved. In return, pets show loyalty, listen to problems, and provide unmatched companionship.
