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.

SPAYATHON
YILDA & BODOGA - 2019
Yilda comes from an entire family of animal lovers. She lives
on a big farm filled with animals, including thirteen satos
that her family all rescued themselves. Her brother found
out about Spayathon at school, where he was training to be
a vet tech, and immediately spread the word to everyone he
knew. Yilda came to the Spayathon with a rescued cat and
her dog, Bodoga. Yilda told us that she thinks the Spayathon
initiative is “a lifesaver for so many people in Puerto Rico
because many people want to care for their animals, but they
cannot afford the veterinary care.“ It is especially difficult for
animal lovers like her and her family who rescue multiple pets
from the streets to save them from suffering: “we want to
give them the best lives possible, but can only afford to care
for so many.”
CATALINO & BRUNO - 2020
Catalino could not just stand by when he witnessed his
neighbors abusing a helpless litter of three puppies - especially
when it reached the extreme of cutting off one of their ears.
He marched over and told them they had three options: they
could surrender the puppies to him, find a rescue group to take
them, or he would call the police and report them for animal
abuse. Thankfully they conceded to give Catalino the puppies,
who immediately made themselves right at home with their
adoptive dad. He came to Round 6 of The Spayathon for two
full days in order to get all three of them spayed/neutered
(there is a daily maximum of two animals per person). He is
shown here with Bruno, who was his last pup to get treated.
Catalino was very grateful for the opportunity to provide his
new family members with vital veterinary care and the chance
to see a vet for the first time.
