Sato Tales
Clover was adopted on St. Patrick's Day 2025 from Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester, MA. Since then, she has brought much joy to the lives of her parents. Her dad built a fence in the backyard so she can run around freely. She is a very fast runner and she loves to go on long walks and hikes. Clover is high energy and very friendly. She wants to befriend everyone she meets. She is so gentle with her toys that she never even damages them. Her parents actually stopped buying her new ones. But she gets plenty of new bones to chew instead.
Milka
Milka was adopted from Ark Animal Shelter in Cherryfield, Maine back in 2019--and we just heard from her person. He happened to be looking through her old adoption file and found our letter crumpled up among the documents. We were elated to hear that this pup has been thriving in Maine for all these years. She has been such an important addition to her family this whole time. Milka has feline and canine siblings, loves her naps and her outdoor adventures. Her DNA indicates that she is part husky, part mini poodle. Like most Satos, it turns out to be the PERFECT mix!
Muffin
Muffin found a loving home in the beautiful state of Maine thanks to our friends at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland. She is a quick study. She can already sit, give paw, and lie down on command. Muffin is helping fill the void of her mom's recent loss of her dog of 14 years. It's a big responsibility, but Muffin is doing a great job.
Ace
We were thrilled to hear from the family that adopted Ace in 2018. Ace is much loved by his three human sisters and lives a great life. He is the family protector and has a lovely large yard where he can run around. Even though he was born in the tropics, he loves to hike in the snow!
Layla
Layla now lives in the beautiful state of New Hampshire, having found a wonderful home through our partner Midcoast Humane Society in Brunswick Maine. After a short meet and greet, Layla was on her way home with her new dad. She is doing so well in her new life. She is much loved by everyone who comes into contact with her. That's because she is such a friendly and loving little pup. We are so happy to know that she is in such good hands.
Stella
Stella found a home in Phippsburg, Maine, thanks to our new partner, Maine Dog Rescue. Stella has a very sweet nature and is settling in after her long trip and initial shock at leaving the tropics for a New England winter. She now lives in a house near the edge of the woods and is having a great time learning all the new sounds and smells. Her mom even made her a warm coat for the winter.
Jacob
Jacob is adjusting very well to his amazing new home in MA , which he found through the Sterling Animal Shelter. He is already loved very much. He has a big brother, Winston (cat) and a big sister, Peri (dog). Peri was also adopted from Sterling last December. Jacob's new parents are empty nesters, so they tell us that their pets are their world!
Drake and Maye
These two cuties were adopted right before the Super Bowl and received the appropriate new names--Drake and Maye. They found their homes through Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester, MA. Their new parents had sadly lost a previous cat just a month earlier and were heartbroken. We are thrilled that two cats from Puerto Rico may be able to fill that void.
Stella
Stella found her wonderful home through our partner Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester, MA. Stella is thriving and super happy to spend lots of time with her new mom and a big brother (feline) named Atticus. She LOVES having a comfy place to stretch out.
Nellie
Nellie now lives with two big brothers: Finn (goldendoodle) and Theo (Maine coon cat). She loves to try to get Theo to play, but he's not so sure yet. Nellie was so tiny when she went to her new home but was confident, comfortable and purring up a storm! Nellie found her home through Cape Ann Animal Shelter in Gloucester, MA. Her new family says she is the perfect addition.
Rio and Rex
Rio and Rex (and, no, we don't know which is which!) were adopted together. They absolutely love to snuggle and love belly rubs. Rex is just over 14 lbs and Rio is just over 10 lbs. Rex is an absolute momma's boy and Rio loves his human brother. They do zoomies all over the place and absolutely love all the toys they have.
Madagascar
Madagascar found a wonderful home through Midcoast Humane in Brunswick, Maine. He is so happy--even with all the decisions he has to make on a daily basis. Does he play with a squeaky toy or should he chew on his rawhide bone? If it's the former, should he start with the elephant or go right for the red ring? Maybe he can fit them all in his mouth at the same time? Lucky pup has a long Maine winter ahead of him in which to figure it all out.
Bentley
Bentley found an absolutely incredible home through the Humane Society of Tampa Bay in Florida. After his scary start to life, time on the streets, and the long plane trip to Florida, he was a bundle of nerves. But his new parents were super patient and understanding. We couldn't be more grateful to them. He's made lots of progress over the years. He loves to sit in the sun in his backyard or take a nap in one of his comfy beds. His family loves him and he loves them. They feel blessed to have him in their lives.
Suki
Suki found her home through Midcoast Humane in Brunswick, Maine. She is doing so well--happy, spunky, and a great trail dog. She loves going for walks at a local preserve where she can splash in the water and get her zoomies out, as well as hanging out on the porch with her person. Suki is very particular about food and is not very treat motivated, which is pretty unusual for a Sato! She is dearly loved.
Coquito
All it took was a photo--Coquito's new family fell in love with him the moment they saw his little face in a jpeg. They live in MA, but made a long drive to our friends at Midcoast Humane in Brunswick, Maine to be first in line when he became available for adoption. This lucky pup now has two human siblings that he adores, parents who are at home often so he's never alone, a big yard, comfy bed, plenty of toys, and laps to nap on. Life is good!
Sofia
Sofia has relocated to the beautiful northeast coast of Massachusetts. She is adjusting to the cooler temperatures and loves the refreshing, salty air from the ocean. She and her new mom walk almost two miles every day. Sofia befriends every canine and human that she meets on these walks. She is especially fond of big dogs. She is a natural peacemaker. She adores draping her body across her mom's at naptime.
Coco
It's been a year since Coco (on the left) went to her new home. She has been such a happy addition to her family!!! She has a sweet and feisty personality that makes her family all laugh. She and her brother Mario (also a Sato) have become best friends. She loves to follow her father everywhere outside doing projects and yard work and takes lots of rides in his truck. She loves long walks with her human sisters and her mom. She loves to be outside!
Rubi
Rubi goes by many names: Rubi-Doo, Rubix-cube and Rubi-con. She found her wonderful family through Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester, MA. She is smart and lovely. She has been having lots of adventures with her new family including trips to the dog park, walks on the beach, homecoming, and hikes with the Boy Scouts. She is loved and treasured. Rubi sleeps in bed with her humans and eats a mixture of homemade dog food and kibble. Her best friend is a pug named Mr. Puddles.
Artemis
Artemis, aka Queen Artie, has been in her forever home now for about eight months and things are going super well. She has been a bright light in her parents' life, as she joined their home not long after their previous feline resident passed away at age 22. Artemis is so adorable and she knows it! She is great with her human brothers and there may even be a feline sibling in her future.
Mina
Mina found a wonderful home where she has a big sister named Ollie who is a boxer mix. They play together all day and most nights. They adore one another. Mina and Ollie teamed up to take over their dad's bed. (If he's really good, they'll let him have a little space.) Mina is a small dog with a big personality, but you can probably tell that from the photo.
Anro and Ricci
Anro and Ricci were adopted together from Buddy Dog in Sudbury, Massachusetts. (We're not sure who is who in this photo.) They are doing great in their new home. Anro was very social right away and Ricci was shy, but has warmed up. Their new family love them both very much and tell us theyt are very grateful to have Anro and Ricci in the family.
Penny
Penny (on the left) is a sweetheart whose parents love her endlessly. Everyone who meets her falls in love right away! She has an adopted brother named Bentley who is two months younger than her. As you can see here, they are crazy about one another.
George
George traveled to the SPCA in Lakeland, Florida in 2022 and was adopted right away. Sadly, his owner passed away after three years. A family friend took George in, but for whatever reason, that didn't work out and George was surrendered to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. That's where this lucky Sato found an extraordinarily great home. His new family adores him. They say he is an absolute sweetheart. His DNA test shows that he is a true supermutt. We LOVE our supermutts!
