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.

MIRACLE - 2017
Miracle was rescued in 2017, having been abandoned by her
owners after Hurricane Maria. She had been relying on the
kindness of strangers for food and water, and was sadly struck
by a car that left her on the side of the road with catastrophic
injuries to her spine and back legs. She was hospitalized and
placed on medication for fever due to an infection in her
injured legs. On top of this, she was also heartworm positive.
Our vetting team was limited with the work we could do to get
an accurate diagnosis for her, as there was no ability to get her
the MRI that she needed. We had to transport her to New York
to see a specialist. The specialists determined that she would
not be able to regain use of her hindside, and also discovered
that she had an enlarged heart and a bullet lodged in her leg. It
was disheartening to know all that this sato suffered from, but
18
we were determined to find her the safe and loving home she
deserved along with a doggie wheelchair to help her move
around. Thankfully she hit the jackpot and was adopted by
a wonderful caretaker with special needs experience. Now
she spends her days lounging by the pool, taking walks in
her stroller, getting lots of snuggles and scooting around in
her wheelchair.
