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.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS WORK POSSIBLE

In The Sato Project’s 10 year history, we have flown 6,000+ dogs and cats rescued from the streets

of Puerto Rico to new lives on the East Coast and spayed/neutered and vaccinated more than 7,500

animals. None of this work would be possible without the support of our generous community.

The Sato Project team would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has supported

our rescue and community outreach efforts over the last 10 years. As Puerto Rico continues to face

disaster after disaster, your donations have helped us save lives, end suffering, and build permanent

change for the animals and people on the island. Knowing that we still have your support, even in the

midst of a global pandemic, truly means the world to us and to the dogs we rescue.

Due to a combination of economic hardship, infrequent spaying and neutering, the mass exodus of

residents since the devastation of Hurricane Maria, and continuing natural disasters, an estimated

500,000 stray dogs are a sad reality of life in Puerto Rico. Many of these dogs are suffering and

struggling to survive. Founded in 2011 by Chrissy Beckles, The Sato Project is dedicated to ending

this suffering and helping as many of these satos (“stray dogs”) as possible, find the safe, loving

homes they deserve.

The Sato Project is working to make permanent change in Puerto Rico through a threefold mission:

1. rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming abandoned and abused dogs; 2. addressing the underlying

causes of overpopulation, abandonment, and abuse through community outreach and low-cost or

free spay/neuter and vaccine services; 3. bringing national attention to the problem of abandoned

and abused dogs in Puerto Rico.
