Some people bemoan the fact we've started to bring stray dogs from Puerto Rico to the U.S. to find homes. Their argument is that we have enough trouble here. My feeling is a homeless animal is a homeless animal and that, especially since Puerto Rico is a territory of the U.S., it's our obligation to try to help them.
There are over 50,000 stray dogs in Puerto Rico and one group that is doing something practical about it is Save a Sato. "Sato" is a slang term for street dogs. Sato dogs come in many colors and mixes but tend to be smallish and make good family pets. Sato hooks up people who are going to Puerto Rico with dogs that need to be flown back. So the next time you plan a trip to a beach, consider Puerto Rico. You could save a dog's life and have a great time!
