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.

    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.
