For 30 years, our rescues have made headlines across Puerto Rico and the United States. Here's a look at how the media has told the story of the satos.
When news crews want a story of hope and rescue, they come to us. Every report helps more satos find homes — and more supporters find our cause.
Telemundo 51 followed 39 of our rescued dogs as they arrived in Miami, part of a collaboration between Save A Sato and Saving Sage Animal Rescue, on their way to forever homes across the U.S.

Watch the report →When our San Juan shelter lost power and water, CBS News Miami covered the emergency airlift of 30 dogs and cats to safety — freeing space so we could keep rescuing animals back home.
Read the story →WAPA TV's "Pégate al Mediodía" sat down with Gloria Marti to celebrate three decades of Save A Sato and the ongoing fight against animal abandonment in Puerto Rico.
Watch the interview →Two moments that put Puerto Rico's satos in front of a national audience.
After hurricanes and earthquakes hit the island, Gloria kept working non-stop for the animals left behind. Petco Love and Victoria Stilwell Positively named her one of five Unsung Heroes — and a national public vote made her the National Unsung Hero, bringing a $50,000 grant and more than 2,000 pounds of pet food to Puerto Rico. Gloria put the funds toward finishing the building that became our current shelter.
Juan Agustín Márquez's Emmy-winning documentary investigates where the island's abandoned dogs come from, why the problem persists, and what can actually be done about it. Save A Sato appears in the film. It remains the clearest explanation of the reality we work in every day.
