Sato Saved End of the Line Dog Rescue and Rehabilitation
Sato Saved aims to change the world, one dog at a time. 🐾 Thank you,
Cassia Bryden- Founder
Sato Saved End of the Line Dog Rescue and Rehabilitation is a privately run home and foster-based not for profit rescue located in the Brantford area, but extending all over Ontario and beyond. We take in dogs that are at the "end of the line" or extreme risk/medical cases and some behavioural cases if we have space and foster ability. Here at Sato Saved End of the line dog rescue, We specialize i
n raising litters with mamas with behavioural issues, ensuring post whelp spays, hand raising orphans and neonatals with health issues. We also give priority to fearful and timid dogs who are declining in shelters or puppies in need of proper starts. We strongly believe in creating a proper foundation at an early age to avoid adolescent dogs being surrendered with a lack of training. Breaking the shelter/surrender cycle is very important to us and training, socializing, and raising your dog right from the start avoids so many issues/risks in the future. We provide lifetime support to all our adoptive families and have a wonderful community support system that helps us fund our missions.

This week we have been slammed with whirlwinds of emotions. Rescue truly is a roller coaster and you have to take all the wins and celebrate them.
Each adoption is so important and I am a little embarrassed to admit sometimes I slack on adoption updates and posts of our adopted dogs thriving. Being busy is a lame excuse it really is. And I'm sorry!!!
I am making a commitment to myself and all of my adopters and supporters/followers to try and not just focus on the new dogs and sad intake stories and of course all the adoptable dogs but also celebrate the adopted dogs. The successes.
Once you adopt a sato dog, you're family. We thrive on updates and pictures. That's what keeps me getting out of bed and doing all the other awful stuff every day.
It's not all glam and puppy snugs. But happy endings like this one are what it's all about...
💃💃💃
2 weeks ago I got an inquiry about Nebula. It was sounding totally meant to be and I could barely wrap my head around it happening.
This cutie has been through a really rough puppyhood and then spent a while with another rescue before joining us. She has escaped and been on the run twice. She's a little nervous of new situations making her slightly a flight risk and also not fully trusting of a lot of humans outside her circle.
Nebby thrived in the boarding center I had her with and I am so greatful she has that opportunity thanks to the support we recieved she was able to build new relationships and get lots of exercise and really grew a lot as a dog.
I took her on Wednesday to meet her potential new family. I was really nervous and so was she. I tried not to project my emotions onto her and I was very brutally honest about all the things that could and would happen if they didn't follow the basics on her decompression and adjustment.
It's been 4 days and she has settled in faster then I ever imagined and she is already loved and adored exactly like I dreamed she would be.
They made it official yesterday despite being offered up to 2 weeks to be sure she was the proper fit.
Im 100% okay with that, especially after some of the videos they've sent me 😭🥰
These updates make all the frustration and tears of rescue worth it.
I am Soooo happy to say, Nebula is officially adopted. Shes has her forever home.
((No thanks to Shawn Bacher. -- what a real peice of work that man is))
Shout out to Heather Watling for all you did for Nebs
Honorable mention as well to Denise Angus for all she did for this particular group of dogs.
They weren't easy and as much as our personalities clearly don't mesh well.... I appreciate you and all you do for dogs. Thanks ladies. Nebby is greatful to you both.
Thank you Tammy for keeping her safe, and loving her like your own til she found her forever- i know you had your work cut out for you some days lol...
Thank you so much Medieros family for opening your home and your hearts to one of the best girls. She will not disappoint with her loyalty and cuddles 🧡🧡 congratulations Nebby 🥳🥳

ADOPTABLE
Sampson
Age: 8-Weeks
Breed: Shepherd x
Size: Large
Weight: 10 lbs
Adoption Fee: $850
*Post Adoption Training is Mandatory*
Their mom was a known 'stray' dog who had multiple litters in her lifetime. Thankfully, this time around she ended up on a property that was able to secure her and get her into Sato Saved to have her puppies safely, and most importantly STOP the cycle and have her fully vetted.
She was a VERY large girl and was expected to give birth not long after being in rescue. She didn't disappoint... this poor momma had FOURTEEN (14) puppies...
We haven't known Sampson and his sister Sable long, but boy, are they precious. Incredibly curious, loveable, and spunky! Samspon has a subtle confidence about him. He seems to like to explore his settings more than his sister and loves a good bone.
Due to his age, Sampson is now looking for a foster-to-adopt home!
What does that mean?
Sampson is not old enough to complete all of the necessary vetting; he would go to his new home as a foster until he can complete the regiment of vaccinations and neuter.
Vetting appointments are typically done in Kitchener, and the foster-to-adopt family / individual would need to be able to take her to scheduled appointments. Once the vetting is completed, then the adoption can be finalized.
If you are interested in a foster-to-adopt, an adoption application needs to be sent directly to us via email at [email protected], and the document can be found here;
**Please note that ALL adoptions are finalized in Brantford, ON.

Cosmo
Age: 5-Months
Breed: Heinz57 best guess is border collie beagle shepherd husky lab bully or rottie maybe ?..
Size: Medium
Weight: 30 lbs
Adoption Fee: $850
*Post Adoption Training is Mandatory*
Cosmo and his sister Wanda came into the rescue as emergency surrenders, full of fleas and worms. Since their arrival they have been placed into foster homes to let them decompress and start learning how to be well-rounded pups.
He's a sweet, playful and loving boy who is all about cuddling but enjoys a good wrestle too!
✔️ Good with dogs
✔️ Rural or fenced yard
✔️ Good with kids
❌️Not good with cats or small animals.
He is doing well on his crate training and is working his way to be fully house trained. He does need some work on his leash skills, but he is extremely treat motivated so training is easier!
Cosmo is UTD on his vaccinations, microchipped, and is neutered. An adoption application needs to be sent directly to us via email at [email protected], and the document can be found here;
Chance is the last male available from Shadows litter!

🐾 Looking to Help Rescue Dogs in a Different Way? 🐾
Not everyone has the space to foster or the funds to donate—but if you have the time and a passion for rescue, we’d love to have you on board! ❤️
We have a volunteer group for those who want to help in other ways, like:
✅ Assisting at events
✅ Baking or crafting for fundraisers
✅ Helping with outreach and networking
Today our sweet Manitoba baby Little Foot from Save A Dog Network Canada was adopted!!!
All the way to Ottawa he goes! And he's got a big brother to show him all the ropes.
This cutie pie just hit the jackpot with his new family. This young couple knew he was meant to be theirs the moment they saw him. They drove 5 hours one way to meet him and it was love at first sight.
We didn't get a decent family Pic but here he is with big brother Bane 💙

🐾🧘♀️ Thankful Thursday: Arise True Yoga! 🧘♀️🐾
This week, we’re sending a HUGE thank you to Arise True Yoga Studio in Woodstock for hosting an unforgettable puppy yoga fundraiser!
Last Thursday, we had a sold-out event with 16 participants in their beautiful studio. We also brought 14 snuggly puppies—and while it was an adorable experience for everyone, it was also a BIG day for the pups! It was their first time having a bath, their first car ride, their first time out of their puppy room, and their first chance to socialize with so many new people. @arisetrue was incredibly accommodating and understanding every step of the way.
A special thank you to Erin, the studio owner, who immediately reached out when we put out a call for a yoga instructor. She didn’t hesitate to offer her space and her services for free. That generosity means the world to us!
It was also amazing to expand outside of Brantford. Not only does this help spread awareness about our rescue, but it also makes fundraisers more accessible for supporters who don’t live nearby. Even more incredible? All but four of the participants were regulars from Arise True Yoga! That means we were welcomed by a whole new group of animal lovers who may not have followed us before—but do now!
We always want to give back to those who give their time and energy to help us. Please take a moment to visit Arise True Yoga’s Facebook and Instagram pages—give them a like, a share, and if you’re in the area, check out one of their classes! Supporting local, small businesses is more important than ever, and this amazing group of people went out of their way to support us.
From the bottom of our hearts (and paws) – THANK YOU, Erin & Arise True Yoga! 💙🐶

Another Plea for help before they Freeze
In the midst of taking in momma Shadow and her 7 pups we were reached out to by another family on six nations who have a really sweet husky and they've fallen on some hard times. She got pregnant and had 10 puppies under a shed. Then the temp started to drop. They want to surrender them all asap
Puppies are 4 weeks. We need a short term foster with a spare bedroom or a basement area where we can get the little family out of the cold and into a warm home and dewormed and weaned onto kibble.
Puppies can be vaccinated in 2 more weeks. Then they can start heading out to fosters in pairs.
We believe they are shep x mom is a husky about 45lbs.
Foster homes for momma and pups should have a fenced yard. Separate area for the babies away from kids and other pets.
Within 1 hour from Brantford. In Brantford would be ideal.
If you can help... send us an email at [email protected]
Puppies are shivering and will start to die soon if we can't get them out of there.
Please share !!
..and another Echo for Echo
This beautiful girl joined us in June with 3 siblings who are all thriving and doing fantastic
Unfortunately, little miss Echo isn't thriving like the should be. We are doing some more investigating but it's not sounding great for her :(
Stay tuned more updates to come
This week Lois secured herself a foster home with another dog and a fenced yard!! We're hoping this helps improve her overall house manners and adoptability. Lois has been in our rescue since November. However before that she found herself with another "rescue" that severely neglected and mistreated her after pulling her from.a shelter where she had zero interest.
Lois has never once been wanted by anyone.
Yesterday she got an offer to come home with her new auntie Steph. Steph will work on some training and socializing. She doesn't do stairs so that's a process. But she's right where she needs to be to advance and that's exciting:)
If interested in adopting Lois, please send us an email [email protected]

Broke out of the pound today - woot woot!
Happy weekend everyone!!
These three (3) Akita mix babies were found dumped in Brant County this past week. After their poor sister was hit by a car and killed. Some kind people rounded up the rest and called Animal Control to come save them.
They're only about 7-8 weeks old and would have never survived on their own. Who could do this I don't know... but with the shelters bursting at the seams I knew they'd need out quickly so we acted fast and lined up a foster home where all three (3) can stay together for a few more weeks and socialize with other dogs as well before heading off into their forever homes.
Akita are not a breed for everyone and should be researched prior to adopting them.
Welcome Cleo (grey/tri female), Mac (brindle), and Hudson (white and brown). These pups are going to be large breed 80 lbs or maybe larger.
They will be ready for foster to adopts at 12-weeks old mid September.
We are hoping to raise some funds today to cover their food and initial vet costs. They're pooping worms like crazy the poor kids but will be feeling so much better by next week!!
We can also always use items from our Amazon wish list:

Sato Saved End of the Line Dog Rescue and Rehabilitation was founded out of passion and love for dogs of all kinds. We are located in Brantford Ontario, but our rescue reach only starts in our own community and branches out to Norfolk County, Six Nations and goes all the way to the US, Puerto Rico and everywhere in between.
I, Cassia, the owner and founder, am a former veterinary technician/assistant and have been in the trenches of rescue for 20 years, starting with the first love of my life, Rosey. I have years of experience, strength and dedication that has resulted in thousands of dogs being rescued, rehabilitated and saved from likely death. Previously running a smaller foster based end of the line rescue since 2009, Working with a dedicated team of fosters and transporters as well as the community to accomplish as much as possible with as little as possible. Since expanding when a career change found me working for animal control. There are so many dogs in need that this ever growing hobby was the best way to help educate and advocate for the dogs.
Former partner Deandra rescued her first dog “Sato” from PR, inspiring her to start her rescue when she moved to Waterford in 2017. She named him after a slang term for street dog and this is where the name Sato Saved originated. We work to save any dog on the streets or abandoned. Any “Sato” that needs help. The term suits the rescue beautifully.
In 2018 two smaller rescues and two people with big dreams partnered up with similar goals and thus began Sato Saved End of the Line Dog Rescue and Rehab.
In the fall of 2020, Deandra informed us about a planned move to Bancroft with her husband (struggling with some health issues) and family. Due to this move, the sale of the Waterford property, and some other differences she will be stepping aside from the partnership. She will be greatly missed here. I (Cassia) will be counting the work here locally and have revamped a few things moving forward. Intake will be less as we focus on dogs who need it the most. There is a new email and a new website (coming soon) as well as some exciting new things coming!
Here at Sato Saved all donations and adoption fees are used to fund the rescue work. I work closely with our local community and six nations, through community partnerships like kidney clothes and low cost spay and neuter clinics, as well as rescue groups in Puerto Rico and some States to rescue and rehabilitate, spay and neuter and improve the lives of as many dogs as we possibly can. I believe in providing a different type of atmosphere for dogs brought to us under stressful circumstances. While our rescues are in our care, we work on proper raising from day 1 and foundations, training, socializing, desensitizing, medical issues and of course all basic and above standard vetting care that’s required.
Our adoption process is thorough and some may find us “too picky”, however we feel that once we get to know our dogs and devote so much of our hearts to them, its best to choose the family that will be most suitable for meeting their individual needs. Always putting the dog first. Mandatory obedience class for any puppy adopted unless we discuss prior to adoption. We do favour homes with secure fenced yards, especially for our foster families, however this is not a requirement to adopt a dog from us.
I have an inextinguishable passion for dogs. I will fight for them, I work with them; and I work to educate others on how to responsibly care for theirs. One day I hope to have a sanctuary for homeless/abandoned and behavioural dogs, so that no dog has to lose its life or quality of life, due to nowhere for it to go. Until then I will continue to do what I can with all your help!
I hope to change the world, one dog at a time.
Thank you so much for the endless support, I couldn't do it without this tremendous village behind me and the dogs.
Sato Saved aims to change the world, one dog at a time. 🐾 Thank you,
