Good afternoon from Boo! His eye has been removed and he was a champ through surgery which earned him some snazzy luminous green sutures. Pawing at his eye earned him the cone of shame. We are so in love with our brave

Doesn’t mean I didn’t 😭😭after he left yesterday.
Happy tears again now.
Go Irwin - you were left to die on the side of the road. You win little one.

Sadly we are going to have to amputate his front leg - ortho vet believes it was trapped or caught in something & irreversible damage to nerves, tendons & ligaments done trying to get himself free…
Cannot begin to imagine the pain & suffering of this puppy.
We got you Harley.
We rescued 9 lucky pups today. They are in horrific condition -skin like elephants, bellies full of parasites & baby teeth worn down from chewing rocks to abate hunger. But after a bath, food & fluids, tonight they sleep safely, surrounded by love for the first time.

Good morning from Ezekiel!!
Look at how incredible our boy looks! He is absolutely thriving!!!

A huge thank you to

This is what love can do! 1 week ago we rescued 7 pups in awful condition. They screamed when we approached & when picked up, urinating in fear. It was heartbreaking to witness. But one of the most rewarding parts of our work is gaining the trust of sato treasures like Rufus.
#Satostrong
Tacquito was rescued from the streets of PR & fostered by the one and only Chrissy Beckles herself. Thanks to her love & care, he is now living so happily with his forever family that he doesn't even mind when his mom wakes him up to take photos. 😴

Dante was left on the side of the highway in PR. Hundreds of cars drove past and didn’t look back...all but one with a son who was moved to tears because he knew Dante deserved better. Those tears dried up when we told him he could rescue him! Give it up for this awesome kid!👏
Perla was rescued from a municipal shelter in Puerto Rico, where she was dumped after Hurricane Maria. But now she has a family who loves her and promises to never leave her side. Every day when her Dad comes home from work, they even sing their special “I wuv you” song together.
Krizia stopped at a food truck and saw a thin stray dog off to the side gently playing with a small kitten. When she returned to her car with her food and opened the door, suddenly Max ran over and jumped right into her seat. They both decided it was meant to be.

Meet Kiki. Dumped heavily pregnant over the weekend. She ran right up to our car before we even got out of it. She is approx. 12 days from giving birth & has a LOT of puppies in her belly - at least 10. She was rescued in the nick of time to give birth in safety.
#satostrong
She is 10 months old. Severely malnourished, w/ mange, anemia & parasites. Shut down & frightened, it seems like today was the first time she felt a kind hand. Tonight she finally gets to rest, no longer hungry, scared or in pain. We have named her Zora. Zora is safe.
#SatoStrong
Meet Julieta!! We rescued this darling girl after she was dumped on July 7th. During her intake vetting we discovered Julieta was actually pregnant. This morning she gave birth! Julieta is being a great Mummy to her 5 beautiful babies. All are safe, cared for & loved.

We just had another 5.4 earthquake in Puerto Rico You. You probably would never hear or read about it if it wasn’t for this man: Thank you 🙏🏼
@DavidBegnaud
I know there's a lot going on in the world but what's going on in Puerto Rico, with the earthquakes, is very important, and deserve everyone's attention.
While preparing for our first big transport of the year, we have also been trying to rescue this little pup for several days. Finally, she is safe; but Alanza is very weak & clearly been failed for the entirety of her life thus far. Please keep this brave sato in your thoughts.🙏
We had 5 members of our NY team fly to Puerto Rico last week to visit us and help with our recent vaccine clinic. That means 5 lucky pups also got to take their
#FreedomFlight

Stay tuned to see them meet their new families at the airport!
Today, Angie girl is very excited. She has a spot reserved on tomorrow’s Freedom Flight from Puerto Rico heading to White Plains, NY. She has been through a lot and it’s heartwarming to know she will soon be meeting her loving adopters.

This is Favian. One of the 80 dogs we rescued from the Ponce Shelter on Monday. This poor angel has not had a life. He has just existed. Everyone else walked by & ignored him. We did not. Now safe in our care & getting the care he so desperately needs.
