🤎🌴🧡Meet Cinnamon, a “Sato dog” from Puerto Rico! A “Sato dog” refers to the mixed breed, stray dogs on the island. (Majority are small-medium size but some can be larger). Island dogs are smart, loyal, highly trainable, and thrive on routines and consistency. They have wonderful demeanors, make devoted companions, adjust well to their environments, and are a perfect mix of energetic and affectionate. There is no love like the love of an island dog.
(One week update- 12/17/25): Cinnamon was found wondering the streets in Trujillo Alto, PR. (We believe she had a prior home as she had a collar on). She was rescued on May 14th and is healthy, happy, and full of love. This girl has adjusted well, holds a gentle soul with an amazing disposition, and has an outgoing personality. She loves affection, does great around both men and women, and mingles well with various dogs. She loves learning, eager for training sessions, and is very food motivated. She is smart, knows basic commands like “sit” and “down”, and working on more. She is potty trained, does extremely well crated both day and night, sleeps great, leash trained, and walks well with some excitement and no reactivity. Cinnamon has no food reactivity, resource guarding, or signs of separation anxiety. She has also been left loose with her previous foster’s dogs with no issues during the day. She has normal energy for her age, loves toys, playing fetch, and also content. She does amazing during car rides (crated so far). She shares her foster home with 4 dogs and a cat. Her foster mom is a huge dog advocate and competes in agility, scent work, etc. She will continue to learn all the ropes and be set up for success. Cinnamon was previously nearby kittens and had brief engagements with two other cats. She is curious, respectful, not forward, and no negative reaction. She will chase her foster kitty friend if she runs by but has shown no aggression. She should have no issues living comfortably with cats. Cinnamon has not yet had direct engagements with kids/younger children and we see no issues-with proper introduction/respect. This girl will make an amazing companion and adventure buddy. She is a true catch and we are excited to see her confidence continue to thrive. 😊 (Mom and Dad are unknown).
