We fight so the dogs of Puerto Rico don't have to....
Welcome
"Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing"

The Sato Project (formerly working as Manos Por Patas) is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned and abused animals from Puerto Rico. We have been committed to rescue on Dead Dog Beach for the past six years:
Dead Dog Beach. Yes there is such a place and as its name states it is usually a last resting place for dogs and it is not a happy one. The dogs that die there usually die at the hand of man. Either by starvation, hacked by a machete, poisoned, deliberately run over with a car or ATV, used for gun or crossbow practice - the list of abuse is endless.
I am sorry to paint such a graphic picture. And the most horrific part is – that this beach exists in a commonwealth of the United States: Puerto Rico. A Tourist paradise that hides a horrific secret. There are approximately 250,000 stray dogs on the island – with only 5 shelters to care for them. The kill rate at these shelters is 99%. A dog is lucky to survive 48 hours if they are turned in to a shelter in Puerto Rico. Those who do not make it to a shelter face a far worse fate.
When I first started working on Dead Dog Beach almost 6 years ago, more than 200 dogs were 'living' there. That number is now down to 10. Unfortunately new dogs are dumped there every day. We are their ONLY source of food, fresh water and love and we give it on a daily basis. The day that Dead Dog Beach is once again know by its official name, 'Playa Lucia', will mean victory for the dogs and for The Sato Project. We continue to fight every day for these beautiful angels of Puerto Rico.
Remember! Impossible is nothing...
