CHECKERS!
Rica: This wonderful and loyal Labrador Retriever is about 4-5 years old and spent half her life abandonned on a beach. She still has a little ways to go on her medical care before she is ready for her forever home, but we would like to keep you posted on her progress. She has successfully finished her heartworm treatment, but she'll need more chemotherapy for her venereal cancer . We believe in her like she believes in us. If you'd like to find out more about her, send us an e-mail or call us. We feel like it'll help her recovery to know that there is love and a home out there for her!
News
Sato Dream Home is celebrating its first year on petfinder.com. We would like to thank everybody envolved and especially our adopters, for their continued support. Thanks to you, 24 dogs and 2 cats found their forever homes!
Special thanks go to Mark at Hope Rescue Society in Ferndale, MI, who has given our Satos a special place on his website in an effort to find more loving homes for our animals.
Also special thanks to Ann Marie, our volunteer and friend, who never gets tired to do what it takes.
We are starting 2009 with 21 dogs and 3 cats adopted to wonderful homes in just 5 months! Thanks everybody! Let's keep the numbers up there!
Who We Are
Sato Dream Home is not an organization yet. We are a family with a big heart for abondonned dogs and puppies. Puerto Rico is a sad place for animal lovers. There is very little education about spaying/neutering and general animal welfare. Unwanted pups are continuously dumped like garbage. People are willing to pay good money for a pure bred, but the "Satos", the Puerto Rican mutts, are considered worthless. I have spent some ten years living with and caring for quite a lot of these Satos, and their loyalty, love, gratitude and intelligence are hard to match.
We provide shelter, food and medical care for every puppy, dog or kitten we rescue. They all receive their routine shots, they are spayed/neutered, and we go the extra mile for any broken bones, hernias, skin diseases, heartworm disease or even cancer, these poor souls might have suffered from, while fending for themselves in the streets.
But there is the one thing that is so hard for us to provide - love and attention!
Every picture you look at on this page, is longing for your 24/7 attention. Behind every picture is a story of suffering, waiting for that "Happy Tail"!
If you think you might have found your friend for life on Sato Dream Home, please contact us, and we'll try to provide for the smoothest transition possible for everybody involved.
Adopting a friend
Saving just one dog won't change the world but it surely will change the world for that one dog. Please call or e-mail to find out about our adoption fees and to receive a copy of our adoption application.
Maybe you cannot adopt an animal at this time, but you are flying from Puerto Rico to the US, or you know of somebody who is flying. Why not consider escorting a pet to its new home in the US. There is no extra cost involved, whether monetary or time wise. Departure and arrival are completely organized by us.
There are many ways to save a pet!
If you are interested in being an escort for a pet in need, please contact us to find out more about our pet escort program.
Come Visit Us!
We are located in Salinas, PR. Please call 787-824-5337 or e-mail crew@playamarine.com for appointments and directions.
