I am looking for a quote I remember reading about a slave being removed from an abusive Master. I think it involved gross physical or sadistic abuse, then other Masters will come and take the girl from her Abusive Master. Thank you!!

Answer

I could not, off the top of my head, remember a situation where other masters will come and take a girl from her abusive master.

Perhaps you were thinking of the general thought that Gorean masters would not use gross physical or sadistic abuse based upon this quote:
"Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean Master, though strict, is seldom cruel. The girl knows, if she pleases him, her lot will be an easy one. She will almost never encountered sadism or wanton cruelty, for the psychological environment that tends to breed these diseases is largely absent from Gor. This does not mean that she will not expect to be beaten if she disobeys, or fails to please her Master."
Outlaw of Gor     Book 2     Page 53
And even that quote does not completely rule out sadism or wanton cruelty. It says that this is almost never encountered.

There is also the situation of Bosk and Surbus (Raiders of Gor, pages 101 thru 122) but it does not really fit the parameters of your question either.

However I wanted to give your request due diligence and so I searched back through the entire series using any form of the words abuse and sadistic.

I did not find any occurrence which fit a slave being removed from an abusive master. In fact, the opposite is much more common.

Here are just a few examples.
In Ar, as on Gor generally, a slave, on threat of torture and impalement, must endure whatever abuse a free person cares to inflict on him.
Assassin of Gor     Book 5     Pages 282 - 283

"A slave," I informed her, "will take whatever abuse a free person chooses to inflict upon them."

"That is what slaves are for," said Thurnus.
"We took much pleasure in her!" said Bran Loort, angrily.
"Did you find her pleasing?" asked Thurnus.
"Yes," said Bran Loort. He gripped the long, heavy staff more firmly, standing ready.
"Then," said Thurnus, "it will not be necessary for me to beat or slay her."
Bran Loort looked puzzled.
"Surely you know, Bran Loort," said Thurnus, "it is the duty of a slave girl to be fully and completely pleasing to men. Were she not so she would be subject to severe punishment, including even torture and death, should it be the master's wish."

"I think you like her," I said.
"Nonsense," he said. "She is only a slave."
"Perhaps Samos has found a love slave," I said.
"An Earth girl?" laughed Samos.
"Perhaps," I said.
"Preposterous," said Samos. "She is only a slave, only a thing to serve, and to beat and abuse, if it should please me."

"Look up," I said.
"Yes, Master," she said. She looked up, frightened.
"I'm sorry I struck you," I said. "I am very sorry."
"But Lola is only a slave," she said. "Slaves are meant to be struck and abused."
Fighting Slave of Gor     Book 14     Page 106

She was not a slave, who must endure whatever abuse free persons choose to visit upon her.
