November Rescue Mission

Puerto Rico is facing a heartbreaking crisis. Today, an estimated 650,000 stray dogs (“Satos”) roam the streets, beaches, and abandoned fields of the island. Every day, we see the suffering:

• Starving mothers trying to nurse puppies with no food of their own.
• Litters of newborn puppies dumped on the side of the road, too young to survive.
• Dogs covered in fleas, ticks, mange, and infections with no one to help them.
• Countless Satos hit by cars, left to die in pain.

This endless cycle won’t stop on its own. That’s why we focus on TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return). By sterilizing dogs—especially females—we can prevent thousands of unwanted puppies from ever being born into these conditions. One female dog and her offspring can produce 6.7 million puppies in just 7 years. Every single spay/neuter surgery makes a massive difference.

In November 2025, Save The Satos will return to Puerto Rico for our next rescue and TNR mission. Our goals:

• TNR dozens of dogs in one municipality where the population has spiraled out of control.
• Provide food and support for local feeders who care for dogs daily on the streets.
• Rescue as many adoptable dogs as possible to bring back to our adoption center in NJ, where they’ll finally find safe, loving homes.

But we cannot do this without your help.

Here’s how your donation helps:

• $25 = food for 3–4 dogs on the streets for a week
• $60 = neuter surgery for one male dog
• $120 = spay surgery for one female dog (the most urgent need)
• $500 = 4–5 surgeries or safe travel costs for a rescued Sato to NJ

We have just one month to raise the funds we need. Together, we can stop the suffering at its source, save lives, and give these forgotten dogs the future they deserve.

🙏 Please donate today, share this campaign, and be part of the mission to save Puerto Rico’s dogs.
