Street Dogs of Puerto Rico

Compelling slide show of abandoned sato (street) dogs of Puerto Rico, rescued by local animal shelters, flown to the U.S. by organizations such as "Wag On Inn" Rescue of Allenhust, NJ -- fostered by local families and adopted out to 'forever homes'.

It breaks my heart to see cats/dogs being treated like garbage. Volunteers at Northeast Animal Shelter (no-kill, near Boston, Mass) treat our Gato's/Sato's with such kindness and finding them homes.

My darling Layla (SATO Basenji/Corgi) is a NEAS angel without wings. As my Service Dog, she's with me 24/7. As a Certified Pet Therapy Dog, she's spreading love and patience at Boston area hospitals and schools.

I help at community outreach events, representing SATO'S and other NEAS rescues.

Sounds like wonderful work is going on up in your area. Keep the faith -- the word is slowly spreading, and number of informed people growing. Our daughter adopted two rescues, and her Sato has is now trained as a certified therapy dog. They are beautiful animals. Also, thanks for all you do for our country!

Did you come to the Sato Reunion in Asbury Park, NJ. Don't know if you adopted from SPCA or Wag On Inn Rescue. The woman, Adrienne, who captured your dog visited us yesterday from Puerto Rico, in case you did not know about a reunion.

So happy that your dog was saved.  Soooo adorable.

2:22-2:28 and 2:32 are the pictures of my dog being rescued. The next morning, they were going to leave Puerto Rico without him, because every time they tried to pick him up, they couldn't because he would run away. But they got him at the last second and now Winston, originally called Nene, is safe in our home. It has been almost a year since we adopted him. Tomorrow we find out if the heartworm is gone. Winnie is now healthy and happy and loved. May all the other Satos be the same way soon.

@evydude456:  My wife replied yesterday. She's very involved in helping Wag On Inn with fund-raising events. We have also been fostering dogs (mostly puppies) for the past 2 yrs. We have two of our own, but very rewarding -- real joy to see them go to good homes.

I made the sato dog video to create a slide show that is shown a some of our events -- help educate people about the awful conditions down there. So cool that your Winston was one of the photos I got from Amigos de los Animales!

I am Puerto Rican.I know it is not a reflection of my person at all.THERE IS STILL A BIG PROBLEM in P.R. With just very few non kill shelters, under the circumstances.I visit my dad in Isabela and it's sad to say,it is the worst of the Urb. ,how heart renching is that .Hate to say it but I am not going to sugar coat it either. Yes there is neglect every where but it hits you worse when it is your own home,Thank you all for saving them,Thank you SAS, and Thank you Northeast Animal Shelter in Mass

@shoredave22 I'm only 14 years old. I used to see those abused animal commercials and cry about how I wanted to help dogs from being abused.

I don't understand why neglect is always the answer for some people.. it breaks my heart. Maybe someday, we'll hopefully stop neglect and abuse.
