Save A Sato is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to easing the suffering of Puerto Rico's homeless and abused animals. "Sato" is slang for street dog. We rescue Satos from the streets and beaches, give them medical care, food and shelter, and plenty of love. When they are healthy, we send them to one of our shelter partners for adoption into loving homes. For more information, please read our Mission Statement.

Urgent Request
We use hundreds of pounds of newspaper per month to line the kennels at the shelter. We were receiving newspaper weekly from a distrubutor that can no longer assist us. We urgently need a steady supply of newspaper - either bundled or shredded and ready for the kennels.
If you know of a resource where we can get large quantities of newspaper/matte paper at no charge such as a distributor, printer or recycling center, or are willing to bundle and deliver your clean, dry newspaper to the shelter please contact

We need newspaper every week so will need many volunteers to help!
This would be a great project for Girl Scout Troops, school children and other groups - ask your neighbors or local businesses to save their newspaper and collect a bundle each week. If you would prefer to shred the newspaper and deliver it to us that way please tear it into 1inch strips and store in garbage bags. This would save us a lot of time but is not necessary.
