HUMANE EDUCATION
Our Humane Education Program is our investment in Puerto Rico’s future. Empathy, compassion, kindness, pet care, and volunteer work are some of the values we encourage in the students/participants who partake in our programs. We reached more than 10,000 students since 2010 with programs like Educating future educators, Remember Me Thursday (TM), Student Lobbying, and many more.
Our education mission:
To be the community’s premier knowledge resource in providing the highest quality and accessible humane education possible; and to become a recognized leader in providing programs and services, which enhance the bond between animals and humans.
Resources for Teachers
ADOPT A SATO
Schools and groups can select one of our dogs and build awareness campaigns around their stories. This initiative provides a hands-on approach to animal welfare education and community involvement. By championing one of our dogs and cats, participants can create a profound impact, spreading the message of adoption and responsible pet care.
How it works:
-
GET TO KNOW EACH CANDIDATE – Explore the profiles of our dogs and cats and learn about their unique stories.
-
CHOOSE YOUR SATO – Pick the animal whose story resonates most with your group.
-
DOWNLOAD HIS OR HER STORY – Get a downloadable file with the pet's background, challenges, and personality.
-
CREATE AND PROMOTE – Use the story to build a creative campaign, whether through social media, posters, or school events.
-
SHARE WITH US! – Show us how you're spreading the message, and help us raise awareness for pet adoption.

The mural is a tool for strengthening expression by using art as a vehicle. Through art, participants are encouraged to depict their impressions of the issue of abandoned pets on the streets in a mural.
SATO LAZO
Let’s join together in a human chain to show our SATO PRIDE! Depending on the number of participants, we will create a formation that spells "SATO PRIDE" or simply "SATO."
LOS SATOS PA' CUANDO
The aim is to encourage introspection on the ideas, thoughts, and beliefs that have been culturally promoted about our satos versus purebred dogs.
NATIONAL SATO DAY
In October (CAN BE DONE ON ANY MONTH), we will begin celebrating National Sato Day, and we’ll extend the celebration for an entire month. During this National Sato Month, let’s take a moment to appreciate these special creatures and consider the possibility of adopting or supporting an organization that works to help the satos who need us so much. Together, we can make a big difference in the lives of these wonderful pets!
Now it’s your turn to educate your school community about the satos. We will be delivering the Sato Educators Box, which the teacher will take to the classroom to open with the students. Inside, you’ll find four activities that can be carried out in your school over the next few months, and we look forward to seeing many videos and photos of your experience!
Let's color and celebrate our satos! Grab your crayons and show your creativity by bringing these special animals to life through art.
