Save A Sato is a non-profit 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 partner shelters for adoption into loving homes.

( Gloria Marti / Raquel Malaret )

We are located in the heart of Puerto Rico, San Juan, where we try to help our neighbors, friends, and people from all around the island take good care of their pets, providing them food, vaccines and medical care if possible. We also help tourists and visitors that want to take a rescue back to their home in the mainland, to make it possible!

 Save A Sato has been around for 26 years now! And Gloria Marti has been keeping this organization alive and working 365 days a year to run the shelter.
 The main shelter of Save A Sato foundation is known as the "Shelter of Miracles", where the organization takes care of over 120 dogs and close to 200 cats (sometimes more).
 We also have over 150 cats in our second shelter "Gatolandia" maintained by Raquel Malaret.

 All of our dogs and cats are rescues from the streets or abandoned, we don't receive pets from people looking to get "rid" of them.
