The Sato Project - CT Chapter

We are an animal welfare organization where we rescue dogs from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has over 250,000 stray dogs born into homlessness, abandoned and or abused. The dogs can be found on the streets, beaches, parks, all over. It is a very sad situation. There are only 5 shelters in all of Puerto Rico and the kill rate is 99%. A dog is lucky to survive 48 hours if they are turned into a shelter in Puerto Rico. We temperment test the dogs, vaccinate them, test them for parvo, heartworm and parasites and spay/neuter them before they leave Puerto Rico for the states.
