There are many opportunities to help Satos through volunteering. Something everyone can do is share the story of the satos - tell your friends and family about all of the wonderful satos waiting for their forever homes and direct them to our website to learn more!

Print and post flyers - English Version Spanish Version

Help us spread the word by printing out our flyer and posting it on community bulletin boards at you vet, doggy daycare, pet store or anywhere else public flyers are allowed!

No time to volunteer? Consider making a donation to our organization, or sending some of the many needed supplies we use on a daily basis.
