Dead Dog Beach, Beach for stray dog rescue in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico
The sandy shore stretches along the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico, with waters from the Caribbean Sea reaching the shoreline through gentle waves.
Initially a recreational area with cabanas in the mid-20th century, the beach transformed into a location for abandoned animals by the early 2000s.
The term Sato Beach reflects the local name for stray dogs in Puerto Rico, where approximately 250,000 animals roam without permanent homes.
The Sato Project maintains daily monitoring of the area while collaborating with FEMA and Homeland Security to investigate new dog appearances.
Multiple rescue organizations transport dogs from this beach to adoptive families in New York City after medical treatment and behavioral assessments.
