Sato Tales
Cocoa
Cocoa found a wonderful home through the Monmouth County SPCA, in New Jersey, after waiting just four days. She was a pretty skinny little thing. Her ribs were actually showing...but no more! In true Sato fashion, she has nearly doubled her weight since going to her forever home. She has also become the very best of friends with her six-year-old rescued canine sibling. They never get tired of playing tug-of-war.
Winnie
Winnie was named after Winnie the Pooh. She found her home through Lucky Dog Rescue Inc. in Centereach, NY. Her new family writes that Winnie is absolutely perfect. And she surely feels the same way about them. Winnie spends her days chasing after squeaky toys, cuddling with her peeps (napping on dad's head is a favorite!) and providing IT support.
Mocha
Mocha now lives on Long Island, NY where he shares a home with two yorkie siblings--6 and 8 lbs. His new mother's mother was born in Puerto Rico, so there seemed to be some destiny involved. Mocha picked his mom when she visited the shelter. He went right up to her and went in for a hug. It was love at first sight. In the house, the 6 lb yorkie chases Mocha and Mocha chases the 8 lb yorkie. So there's lots of activity.
Mago
Mago felt at home the minute he entered his new household with his lovely parents and human sisters. His family loves him. They say that his little personality has been shining through and he has been settling in very nicely. Mago has brought many smiles to everyone's faces. He is always purring and running around and playing with everyone.
Zoey
Zoey now lives on Long Island. Her new mother says that she thinks she and Zoey were meant to be together. Zoey is about as sweet as they come. There is almost always someone in her new home, so she will rarely be alone...lucky girl. She found her home through Bideawee in Wantaugh, NY.
In Memoriam: Pirate
Pirate found her home in April 2012. She was her family's very first dog and she couldn't possibly have brought more joy into their lives. Their daughter, who was ten at the time, had put "puppy" at the top of her Christmas list for several years. Their son, who was 13 then, had had a bad experience with an aggressive dog and wasn't sure he was on board with this plan. The husband hadn't grown up with dogs and didn't really want one.
But Pirate worked her magic. Her innate sweetness and tranquility won everyone over. She lived a large and happy life surrounded by love. She slept in her crate until she realized how soft the sofa was. She liked to spend her days sunbathing in her special spot on the terrace and visiting her many canine friends in the neighborhood. She loved car rides and visits to her grandparents.
Pirate sadly passed away in October 2023. Her family is disconsolate without her. They believe it's very important that Pirata's remains return to Puerto Rico, the place where she learned to love the sun. They plan to scatter some of her ashes in the Condado Pet Park in San Juan. Her memory will be cherished for having brought so much love into the family.
Bogan
Bogen is thoroughly enjoying her golden years. At age 15, she has had to make a few adjustments. Her dad built her a ramp to go down since it was hard for her to see well enough to navigate the steps. (She also has three legs!) He also got her a wagon to take her around town, which she loves. Bogen remains a wonderful personality. She found her extraordinary home through Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester, MA.
Malu
Malu lives in the beautiful coastal town of Gloucester, MA thanks to our partner Cape Ann Animal Aid. She is already much beloved by her new family, who say she is a lovely sweet bundle of joy.
Alba
Alba is quickly learning her way around the kitchen! She found a wonderful home with people who fell in love with her instantly. She has a new feline sibling who is very chill and loves cuddles. Alba's new family assures us that they will give her all the love, snuggles and toys she could ever want.
Skye
Skye (on the left) is doing amazing. She has a loving home with a canine brother and a big backyard. She is also extremely smart--she has learned all sorts of tricks. Skye has a real joie de vivre, loves dressing up and celebrating holidays and every happy moment in her wonderful new life. Skye found her home through New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue.
Estrella
Estrella went to her forever home just before Christmas and she immediately made herself comfortable in her new family. She’s a confident girl and has loved playing with her three new human siblings and her neighbor's 7-year-old Australian shepherd. Estrella found her home through Buddy Dog Humane Society in Sudbury, MA.
Bindi
Bindi found her home through the SPCA in Lakeland, FL in March of 2022 and could not be happier! Her mom says that Bindi is the most perfect girl for her new family. She loves to swim, cuddle, and play with her furry friends. She is a loyal and protective dog who has changed their lives for the better.
Diego
Diego found a lovely home through Save A Pet in Port Jefferson Station, NY. He’s very happy in his new life and such a sweetheart!
Monika
Monika found her wonderful new home just in time for the holidays, thanks to the Sterling Animal Shelter in Sterling, MA. She instantly stole the hearts of her new parents. She even has two Sato sisters, 10 and 6 years old, also from the Sterling Shelter. So, it's quite the family! Monika adapted right away and is loving her new life. She has her own basket of toys and she loves to take them all out and relocate them to her bed, but then there is no room for her to sleep! Fortunately, she's happy to crawl into an available lap for nap time.
Vida
Vida (on the left) has a wonderful new life with her chihuahua mix sibling/BFF and her lovely new mom. She found her home through the SPCA in Lakeland, Florida. Vida is an absolute sweetheart, as you can probably tell. She couldn't possibly be happier. Her favorite activities include taking rides in her stroller, wearing seasonal outfits, cuddling under a blanket and going on road trips.
Mia
Mia found her home in November of 2019 through Tall Tails Beagle Rescue in Freeport, Maine. (She also goes by Mia Mia, Little One, Littlest, and Princesa.) Her new family have loved her from the moment they set eyes on her. She is a loving, affectionate pup--and also a tripod. But that doesn't slow her down one bit. She runs so fast that hardly anyone realizes she is only using three legs. Mia loves the snow, water puddles, mud, treats and getting under the covers to snuggle.
Maximus
You can probably tell that Maximus is one happy dog. This sweet guy loves his human siblings, his nice home, his comfy couch, good food and play time. Most of all, he knows he is loved and he gives love. He has come a long, long way. He was found limping along the highway after being hit by a car. We got him to an orthopedist who helped him recover, but then he was diagnosed with heartworm. Through it all, he was positive and appreciative, almost as if he knew something better was waiting for him. And now, thanks to our partner Humane Society of Tampa Bay, he has the perfect family.
Juniper
Juniper was adopted the day before Thanksgiving and had turkey for dinner that very same night! She is well loved and cared for and fit into her new home perfectly. She now has comfy spots for napping, plenty of toys and lots of treats and playmates. She found her home through Save a Pet in Port Jefferson Station, NY.
Chip
Chip found a great home through SPCA Florida of Lakeland. (That's him on the right taking a snooze with his sibling.) Chip is in obedience training and learning all sorts of tricks. His family loves him very much.
Mia
Mia's new dad is a serial Sato adopter. We LOVE that! He found his first one at the Humane Society in Naples, FL and Mia came to him through the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Mia is sweet and gentle and extremely intelligent and observant. She likes to sit on the couch and watch entire TV shows, especially if they are about dogs.
Shoshie
Beautiful Shoshie was saved from the streets where she was really suffering. She found an amazing home through our partner Cape Animal Aid in Gloucester, MA and has put her sad past well behind her. She had a lovely life in Maine, but recently moved to the California desert where she can curl up on a lounge chair under a canopy of bougainvillea blossoms. She even has two boyfriends!
Gabbi
Gabbi has changed the life of her new mom entirely. The two are totally inseparable. They go to the beach, take boat and car rides, mingle with friends, eat out at restaurants, you name it and they are doing it together. Gabbi's mom says that this little Sato has helped her fall in love with life. Who can be lonely or sad when your BFF is with you and every day brings a new adventure???
Vivi
Vivi arrived in Mass at the beginning of summer 2023 and found a wonderful home with a sister Sato named Lola. (That's Vivi on the left.) The two pups have a lot to talk about and share. Lola came through us in 2018. Both went to the Sterling Animal Shelter in Sterling, MA.
Hook
Hook has been part of his forever home for the last ten years! His family says he is the BEST dog ever! He found his wonderful home through our partner Carribean Puppy Connection in Marshfield, MA.
