We rescued our sweet boy “Kimi Raikkonen” from Save The Satos 3 years ago (4/9/2021).. We worked with Amy and she was tender hearted and understanding to our needs. Kimi came from Puerto Rico and he’s now 3 and the smartest, move loving and gentle little fella. We are empty nesters and he’s our best companion and hiking buddy. We are grateful to Save The Satos for making the process easy for us and bringing Kimi to our lives.

There are an estimated 500,000 stray dogs in Puerto Rico, a US Commonwealth about the size of Connecticut. Back in October of 2018 four team members went to the island to see if they could help. Throughout the week, the team saved over 30 dogs. Within the next 8 months, the team visited the island 3 more times and continued to save another 50 Satos and placed them in loving homes. They volunteered at The Spayathon for Puerto Rico, doing everything they could to make a difference, but it still was not enough. This is when Save the Satos was formed. We have made it our life's mission to not stop until we make a difference in the stray population on this beautiful little island.

Mission and Vision

Save the Satos has a three-part mission. 1. We are focused on changing the lives of the stray dogs "Satos" of Puerto Rico. Save the Satos rescues the unwanted, adoptable dogs of the island and transports them to New Jersey. They are made happy and healthy, socialized, spayed/neutered and put up for adoption to find their forever home. 2. Save the Satos also focuses on helping pet owners in Puerto Rico by providing food, shelter, spay/neuter, flea/tick/heart worm prevention, vaccines and veterinary care to families in need. 3. Save the Satos also focuses on TNR Trap, Neuter and Release of the feral dogs of the island that can not be put into homes because they have lived most of their lives on the streets and are not socialized around people. This will decrease the stray population by sterilizing the true strays of the island so they can not produce any more unwanted litters of puppies.

"We really wanted a friend for our Roxy and it was quite depressing the hassle of adopting a pup could be. Some agencies were awful. Found this site and checked it out. So amazing! Save the Satos, not only were super sweet with the whole process, they do such an awesome job at saving these little cuties and allowing us to take them in as new family. Absolutely LOVE what you do, THANK YOU!"

"The work Save The Satos does is tireless devotion to saving pups that would normally find themselves feral and fending for themselves. Each pup is lovingly cared for and brought back for adoring families to give them the lives they deserve. I can’t thank Save The Satos enough for the work they continue to do, as well as for the most amazing and loving pup I’ve ever had."

With multiple missions per year traveling to PR, they show their dedication not just through rescuing dogs for adoption in NJ, but also through catch and release program to spay/neuter dogs inappropriate for adoption. Once in NJ, the pups stay in their beautiful and clean rescue while getting daily love and frequent personalized social media shoutouts. Save the Satos is frequently involved in community events and puts all they have towards bettering the lives of these dogs."
