Its been a while since I have written. We recently moved back from to the States from Puerto Rico, but just before we left, we adopted a beautiful Sato (Puerto Rican Street Dog) from the city of Guaynabo.
When we first saw her she was had the mange, had very little hair, invested with worms, and possibly all of the bad parasites you can imagine. But with all of this in her body, she was bright, alert, and happy to be alive and with people who loved her. This is why we took her in.
We named her Puchi Perez, after the late Hector Lavoe's wife, because she was full of spunk and that Puerto Rican spirit. The first month of us adopting her we had to keep her quarantined from the rest of our dogs (2 others) because of the mange. It spreads like wild fire and we didn't want to infect our perfectly healthy dogs.
With the help of All Sato Rescue (www.allsatorescue.org) and Satos de Pinones (www.satosdepinones.com) we were able to keep her quarantined until she was healthy enough to come home. We eventually took her home where she fit right in with our two other pets. We love her a lot and we don't know what life would be like without her.
Below is a video of Puchi around the time we adopted her. This took place at All Sato Rescue. If you are thinking of adopting a sato from Puerto Rico, I highly recommend it. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask and I suggest visiting www.allsatorescue.org or www.satosdepinones.com.
