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.
