It’s easy to adopt!

A little face has stolen your heart. The first thing to do is contact us by phone or email and let us know which angel you are interested in adopting. We do have a mandatory adoption application that EVERY potential adopter must complete. To request an adoption application, please contact our adoption coordinator, Meryl Alexander (meryl@thesatoproject.com).

Once we have approved you for adoption then we can begin the logistics of getting your new family member to you. So check our available dogs now or follow our Facebook/Twitter pages to get the latest news on our rescues, and meet your new best friend soon!

 

———- Bacardi (F) ———-

Bacardi is a 2 years old, 36.6lbs, black german shepherd/chow mix. She will be going to Boston. Bacardi is very sweet. She is a bit shy and doesnt like smaller dogs.  Shes all for love and attention from humans and is very active!

 

———- Jasper (M) ———-

Jasper in an adorable little guy! He will be coming to Brooklyn very soon. Jasper was probably abused because he is scared at first, but as soon as he knows no one is going to hurt him he is all loves. He weighs 13.4lbs and is approximatelly 1 year old.  He is a black and white, fluffy male dog. A bit shy.

 

———- Samlee (F) ———-

Samlee was found as a puppy and had a major eye problem. Bianca had to remove her eye. She still has the other eye, but unfortunately she is blind. She is full of life, very happy and grateful she was saved from a certain painful death. Samlee will need a very loving and special home! She now weighs 6.8lbs and we think she is almost 3 months. She is very sweet and playful but hates the water.

———- Ella & Missy (F) ———-

 

———- Gypsy (F) ———-

Gypsy was rescued off Dead Dog Beach. Her hair was so grown and tangled that she was first named “Knots”! But after Emily gave her the spa treatment and groomed her, it was clear Knots deserved another name. And so Gypsy was born. More info soon.

———- Dusty (M) ———-

Dusty was rescued off Dead Dog Beach early January. He is a sweet guy, very laid back. He reminded us of a cowboy, with his dusty hair! Sweet nature. He is now in the care of Kent Animal Shelter in Long Island, where he awaits his forever home!

 

———- Portia (F) ———-

Portia is an adult female dog that was probably mistaken as a cocker when she was young. Who ever had her quickly realized she was not when she grew too big but her ears did not! To anyone who sees her she looks like a sheep dog.  Portia is a bit protective of her things towards other dogs and for the most part prefers to be a loner.  She does play with some dogs, and ignore others. She would be great in a home with adults. She is quiet, well behaved and cuddly. No aggression at all towards humans. Everyone who sees her now is amazed by her beauty.  When she was rescued her leg was badly broken but our orthopedic surgeon did an amazing job and no one would know what she went through! Portia is adorable and loving.

 

———- Beth (F) ———-

Beth is over 3 years old, 19lbs, white with black spots. She is currently recovering well from a leg surgery and is receiving physical therapy twice a week, as well as rehabilitation. Severely abused, she has come a long way emotionally and now trusts our vet team. She is very calm as if knowing that she is now safe.

 

———- Chispi (F) ———-

Chispi is a feisty, cream and white Chihuahua mix. She is extremely playful. She is currently undergoing vet treatment in PR.

 

———- Monet (F) ———-

Monet is a very shy but sweet spayed female mutt. She is 12lbs. We estimate her age at 1 year old or slightly less. Her distinctive characteristic? Her extra large, beautiful sato ears! Monet is now in Brooklyn.

 

———- Vin Diesel (M) ———-

Vin Diesel is a cute puppy! He is about 10 weeks old right now, undergoing his vet protocol in PR. He was named Vin Diesel because he was hiding under a car outside Bianca’s clinic and he is kind of chunky!  He is tiny but thinks he is 1000 times his size. He has lots of puppy energy and craves human attention. He will let you know if he does not get enough of it…

———- Pongo (M) ———-

Pongo is an adult, castrated male, mixed breed. He is doing excellent since being rescued. He weights 43lbs. He loves to jump on people and is VERY active. He will probably need some training to learn manners. He is extremely lovable.

 

 

———- The Donors (M) ———-

We have one Weimaraner puppy still available! A male, VERY active and playful.  He is 4mo old and approximately 16lbs.

 

 

———- Prince (M) ———-

Prince is a young adult chihuahua mix. The poor guy has been through so much in his life. He was found by our volunteer Ivette locked in an abandoned store. He was sleeping on a bridal gown, with a plastic bag wrapped around his neck. With multiple fractures to his legs, he has a long way to go. Prince was scared and untrusting when he came in at first but is now a wonderful little doggie.  He even tries to jump on his back legs to play.  His surgery is programed the 3rd of june. Dr Quinones and her staff will attempt to save his leg although it seems far fetched. If they cannot then amputation will be in order.


———- Pirata (M) ———-

Pirata is great with her dogs, fine with cats, almost housetrained – a good combination of playful and calm.  12 lbs, about 5 yrs old. He is being fostered in Manhattan.

Check that video of Pirata looking for his forever ship!

 

———- Fleur (F) ———-

Fleur is a gorgeous 61lbs female, brindled pitbull who was dumped on Dead Dog Beach starving.  When we rescued her she had dreadful scarring on her chest, and tightly cropped ears, which suggests she was used as bait dog in dog fighting. Although Fleur has never showed any sign of aggression towards humans, and is a sweet girl, she has demonstrated signs of aggression with other dogs at the vet’s clinic.  Since being in our care Fleur sometimes she looks like she wants to play with other dogs, which makes us think there might be hope to rehabilitate her…..this will take a very special environment and lots of training and patience from an experienced adopter only.  Fleur is fully vetted, vaccinated and is spayed. In January 2013, she was introduced to one of our dog, and all went very well. We have high hopes for her, but need some help finding the perfect place for her.

    My daughter Jennifer adopted Sherman from the Sato Project 2 weeks ago. Sherman is the most loveable dog. We were amazed at how quickly he adapted to life in Michigan, to other dogs, and is a great pet in general. He will live like a king with my daughter. If you are thinking about donating to this organization or better yet adopting I would highly recommend them.

    Have you guys ever thought of trying to expand? The Portland area of Oregon is the #1 dog friendly city, and there are many fosters/rescues willing to partner with anyone who has Animals needing help.

    Scott and Michael Angelo look so much like our Sato Lola (Jeni), they really are special, and a breed of their own. Very smart pups too. Thank you for all that you do.

    Unfortunately right now I have a dog that is dog reactive and doesn’t do all that well with other dogs in the house. But I have already decided that when the time comes for another dog, I will definitely check out the Sato Project :-)
