Safety. Refuge. New beginnings.
Since The Sato Project settled on a beautiful property in Caguas in 2022- which we called “Sanctuary” - our mission to rescue & rehabilitate satos and disrupt the stray overpopulation crisis on the island has flourished. The ability to house our dogs on an extended timeline to prepare them for life in adoptive homes has made all the difference in our effort to create new, loving families on the mainland. However, as Sanctuary by The Sato Project property was a rental, we always knew the time might come when we’d have to relocate. That time is now.
In December of 2024, we announced that for the first time in our organization’s history, The Sato Project would have a forever home - we purchased our very own property! Our satos deserve a safe, comfortable, and expansive site to decompress after rescue and vetting. Our team works so hard to socialize, train, and rehabilitate these dogs to prepare them for new lives in loving adoptive home, and we need an environment with the capacity to support that crucial work. We truly believe this property will accomplish exactly that. In addition to kennels, we dream of an agility space, play yard, maternity suite, water park, office, property-wide fencing system, and many more amenities to keep our dogs happy and healthy while they wait for their forever homes.
As we progress on renovations to our land, we are offering our most ardent #SatoStrong community supporters the chance to leave an indelible mark on the lives of countless dogs in need, with permanent recognition at the Sanctuary. If you would like to discuss these exclusive naming opportunities or explore planned giving options further, please don't hesitate to email our team at: donation@thesatoproject.org.
