Mission: The Sato Project is dedicated to rescuing abused and abandoned dogs from Puerto Rico.
Results: As of 2021, we have rescued over 6,000 dogs. The Sato Project primarily works in a place known as Dead Dog Beach on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico. As its name states, it is usually a last resting place for dogs, and it is not a happy one. No dog walks to Dead Dog Beach - it is at the end of a long road with no residences - dogs are dumped there. We are the dogs’ only source of food, fresh water, and most importantly, love, on a daily basis. We take our rescue mission very seriously. Rescuing dogs means more than just pulling them off a beach or the streets. We are dedicated to each and every one of our dogs and we want to give them the greatest chance in life. After what they have been through, what they have witnessed, we never want them to suffer again. The Sato Project is also addressing the underlying causes of overpopulation via spay/neuter initiatives in underserved communities, and has serviced more than 7,500 companion animals since 2014. Additionally, since Hurricane Maria in 2017, the organization has distributed more than 140,000 pounds of food and humanitarian supplies to the island and reunited over 220 dogs with their families who were displaced by Puerto Rico’s multiple natural disasters.
Target demographics: some of the estimated 500,000 abused and abandoned dogs in Puerto Rico, and to build permanent change for animals across the island
Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2021 we rescued, rehabilitated, fully vetted and found homes for 750 dogs, or 'satos' as they're known in Puerto Rico, spayed/neutered and/or vaccinated 1,800 dogs and cats, and distributed thousands of pounds of emergency relief supplies.
Geographic areas served: Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, at a place unfortunately known as Dead Dog Beach.
Programs: Rescuing, rehabilitating, fully vetting, transporting, and finding homes for abused and abandoned dogs in Puerto Rico. In 11 years, we have flown over 6,000 dogs off the island to new lives on the mainland. The Sato Project is also addressing the underlying causes of overpopulation and abandonment via spay/neuter and outreach initiatives in underserved communities.
