Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bear A Sweet, Shy Soul Ready for His Second Chance
Hi, I’m Bear — a 2 to 3-year-old, 16-pound pup with a tender heart and a quiet spirit.
I was rescued by The Sato Project from a devastating hoarding situation in Manatí, Puerto Rico, where I lived in a small, overcrowded home with over 30 other dogs. It was a scary, uncertain place — but now I’m safe, healing, and learning what love truly feels like.
When I was first rescued, my skin was in very bad shape, but I’ve been receiving medical baths and special care, and I’m getting better every day. I may still be a little shy, but I’m also incredibly sweet, and with the right family, I know I’ll continue to bloom.
I’m flying into Morristown, NJ around November 8th, and I’m dreaming of a loving, patient home that will give me the time and kindness I need to come out of my shell. A calm environment and possibly a gentle dog friend would help me feel even more secure.
If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and the heart to help me feel safe and loved, I would be so grateful for the chance to become part of your family.
Bear is ready to start over — with you by his side.

More about this rescue
The Sato Project is dedicated to rescuing abused and abandoned dogs from Puerto Rico. There are currently an estimated 500,000 stray dogs roaming the island’s streets and beaches. With no access to food, fresh water, or veterinary care, many of these dogs are living daily lives of severe suffering. The municipal shelter system is drastically overwhelmed, with only five shelters across all 78 of the island’s municipalities. These shelters have a combined euthanasia rate of over 94%. For thousands of stray and abandoned dogs in the area in which we operate, we are their only hope.
