KK's Birthday Wish - Save the Pups

Donation protected
Katelyn loves puppies!  Sadly, it's not the right time in our family to adopt a puppy, but someday we will.  Until then, Katelyn enjoys helping homeless dogs in Puerto Rico through the Sato Project.  Sato simply means mutt. 

The Sato Project primarily works in the municipality of Yabucoa, on the southeastern coast of the island, which has been rated the poorest of all 78 Puerto Rican municipalities. The median household income is well below the national average and over half of its population lives below the Federal poverty line. 

We concentrate our rescue on a place known as Dead Dog Beach. As its name states, it is usually a last resting place for dogs, and it is not a happy one. No dog walks to Dead Dog Beach - it is at the end of a long road with no residences - they are dumped there. There is no food or fresh water on the beach. We are the dogs’ only source of food, fresh water, and most importantly, love, on a daily basis. 

We take our rescue mission very seriously. Rescuing dogs means more than just pulling them off a beach or the streets. We are dedicated to each and every one of our dogs and we want to give them the greatest chance in life. After what they have been through, what they have witnessed, we never want them to suffer again.

It would make Katelyn very happy to know that her birthday gifts are helping these puppies find a forever home.  Please consider adding to her Go Fund Me page, or donating directly to the Sato Project, in lieu of a traditional birthday gift.
