We've seen Satos that are corgi/lab mixes, pomeranian/cocker spaniel, long hair chihauha/dashsund, shephard/corgi, some of the mixes are really really strange.

For those who don't know, Satos are mixed breed street dogs on the island of Puerto Rico. There are several rescue groups on the island, who are working to get more people to spay/neuter, and stop the incredible cruelty there.

Meanwhile, they catch the dogs, nurse them back to health, and send them to several stateside shelters to be adopted. The shelters do well with them because they tend to be small mixed breed dogs, incredibly smart, and very loving.

Now before anyone asks the thousand dollar question - I'll answer it. Local dogs have first priority. Satos can only be flown if the shelters have space. Luckily here in the Northeast, people spay/neuter their dogs so we do not have a lot of problems here.

If anyone would like to see some of the Satos, check the website at:

It's a phenominal program, this weekend the rescuers are flying in from the Island to visit with their rescues. We do a yearly reunion in New England.

Welcome to PT. What a great site, thank you for sharing. The conditions are beyond terrible but what you do is amazing. What a wonderful organization. i wish all the ruppers the best of luck.
