Celebrating 10 Years of The Sato Project
When The Sato Project was founded in 2011, our work began by rescuing one dog at a time from Dead Dog Beach. 10 Years later we have flown and vetted over 6,000 dogs from the streets and beaches of Puerto Rico to loving homes on the mainland. We have also spay/neutered and vaccinated over 7,500 animals and distributed 136K lbs of disaster relief supplies across the island in the wake of Puerto Rico's multiple natural disasters. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the support of our #satostrong community. Read this special edition 10th Anniversary Program Report for The Sato Project's full story.

MURRAY - 2013
Murray was rescued from Dead Dog Beach in 2013 along
with his 3 siblings. They were found dumped at just 12 weeks
old. Sadly, two of his sisters passed from distemper, and at 4
months old, Murray began to show signs that he too had this
horrific disease. He developed a neurological tick and lost all
of his teeth. The clinic made the incredibly hard decision that
it would be most humane to euthanize him, not knowing how
much more he might suffer. However, once they went to start
the procedure, Murray began to wag his tail on the table, and
our veterinary team just couldn’t bring themselves to do it.
Perhaps this sato survivor had a fighting spirit in his little body,
and could find a way to thrive with an understanding family.
Then, along came his foster mom, Kristina. Her family quickly
fell in love with his friendly and outgoing personality, and soon
decided to ask if they could keep Murray forever. No matter
his appearance or lifetime of complications due to surviving
distemper, they loved him beyond words and were committed
to his ongoing care. Since his adoption, Murray has thrived
with his family, including his human and other furry siblings.
His unique appearance has also made him a star. He has been
featured on The Dodo and has his own Instagram account with
40K followers: @murraythedisableddog.
ANDROMEDA - 2016
Andromeda (now known as Daisy) is a true miracle dog and a
testament to never giving up. Rescued in September of 2016,
Andromeda had been dumped on Dead Dog Beach in dreadful
condition. Emaciated and covered in ticks, she was unable to
walk or even stand. At our clinic, we discovered that she was
severely dehydrated, anemic, had intestinal parasites, and a
shattered femur. Her eyes told us that she had very little fight
left, but we promised her that we would fight on her behalf
for as long as she wanted us too. We were not certain if she
would even make it through her first night, so our team made
sure she was monitored 24/7. After a lot of expert care, love,
and prayers, Andromeda amazed us all by pulling through and
in November of 2016 she was ready to meet her forever family.
She flew to New York to meet her new mom and cat siblings, and
has been filling their lives with unconditional love ever since.
