If you've found a street dog or cat in Puerto Rico — or you're a visitor who wants to help one — here's what to do.
If it's safe to do so, offer water, shade, and a calm space. Note the exact location where you found them.
Many animals have worried families searching for them. Use the Petco Love lost-pet search below before assuming they're a stray.

View adoptable satosSave A Sato rescues and rehabilitates homeless dogs from the streets of our island. We are here to fight animal overpopulation and give voiceless street animals a second chance.
We are not able to accept owned pets or the offspring of your pets. Moving away, leaving the island, a death in the family, or simply growing tired of an animal are not situations we can take in — our space and resources are devoted to rescuing animals who have no one at all.
Please be committed to your pets, with care and compassion — and spay or neuter them. It's the single most powerful thing you can do to help solve Puerto Rico's overpopulation crisis and prevent more animals from ending up on the streets.
We understand life brings extreme and unexpected situations. If you're facing a true emergency, reach out — we'll evaluate each case individually and decide whether we're able to help. Above all, we hope every pet owner chooses commitment.
Save A Sato is one part of a bigger effort. The government and other organizations share the responsibility of protecting the island's animals. Here are official resources that can help you.
Your donation lets us keep rescuing, healing, and rehoming Puerto Rico's animals — and keeps our door open to those who need us.
