Adoptable

Chloe
4.5 years old
Spayed female
Shepherd x lab x corso x boxer mix
70lbs

This sweet girl was also adopted from sato saved as a puppy. Originally she was named Charlene.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=647972705758137&id=153679835187429&mibextid=Nif5oz

She was returned 2 months ago for no fault of her own and is really an unfortunate victim of a series of unfortunately events without getting into details.

Going with the trend... we accept all of our dogs back without question. It may take a week or 2 to accommodate a foster for them but we Always take them back. No matter what! No matter how long it's been.

We've changed her name for a few reasons and we've given her a fresh start. She is such a good dog she will do well in almost any environment. Shes being fostered in a great foster home with no time limits but she would be so much happier with a family of her own 💗

Chloe adores kids and definitely needs a home with some kiddos. Big or small she loves em all!!!. She is great with other dogs but I'd suggest dogs over 30lbs because she doesn't always know her own size. A teacup something may not br a good match for her. She is NOT great with cats but dog savvy cats could be okay with some training. It would take some work though. A cat free home is prefered.

Chloe is house trained. Will crate nicely but doesn't really need it. Shes good in a vehicle and adores her walks. She could work on her pulling a little but overall there isn't anything I can say bad about this good girl.

She is a people dog and prefers to be with someone but would be fine for a regular work day at home if she had another dog or 2.

Adoption fee is $650. This includes her recent vet checkup-wellness bloodwork, vaccines updated, heartworm test and a box of nexgard spectra for the season. She will also come with a full bag of her food

If interested in adopting Chloe and giving her a FOREVER home please email an application to [email protected]

Adoptable

18 months old
Spayed female
80lbs

Chandler was adopted from sato saved as a puppy.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18x5EK4sHm/

Unfortunately due to no fault of her own, she was returned at 1 year old. We stand by our dogs and if they're in need of return we would welcome them without question.

Chandler did not get enough socializing or training as a young dog, unfortunately for her.
When she arrived back into our care she was displaying some allergies as well as some behavioral issues we had to get under control before she would be considered "adoptable" again.

We have been working very hard behind the scenes for the last 5 months (she returned back in November) especially her foster mom Andrea.

We've done allergy testing, food trials and have finally got her switched to a vet food that seems to be working well for her. She will need to remain on a special food, making her a harder dog to place which is a bummer.

Her original foster who actually bottle raised her agreed to take her back in as a foster. She also adopted her sister and they have spent some time together. Andrea has taken her to training and doggy daycare/socializing. She's taken her to work at the clinic where she works for weeks to help improve her reactivity. Chandler is currently in boarding where she can work on getting used to new humans as well as new dogs and she is doing very well. She's ready now to find a new home and get adopted for good this time.

Chandler is a German Shepherd x lab cross but her traits are primarily shepherd. She is leary of strangers, protective of her family and loyal to a fault. She needs a German Shepherd experienced home. Shes fine with children. She's good with dog savvy cats. She gets along with other dogs pending proper introductions She will need continued and ongoing socializing and ideally doggy daycare or some type of energy outlet.

Her ideal home has a secure fenced yard or rural property.
Someone home more then not or a dog walker coming into the home would be ideal for her as she's a little Needy.

Chandler's adoption fee is set low to allow her new adopters to Immediately enroll her into some training.

Adoption fee is $250 with a post adoption training commitment.
She will come with a full bag of her vet food. She must remain on this food or she will lose her fur in spots and chews herself.
She's spayed, microchipped and up to date on her parasite prevention. Her Vaccines will also be updated as they are coming due end of the spring.

If interested in adopting Chandler please email an application to [email protected]

It’s STILL Thankful Thursday — because honestly, how lucky are we to have so many incredible people stepping up and supporting Sato Saved?!

Today we’re shouting out a huge THANK YOU to Andrew Ilyes, a local groomer with a heart of gold!

Andrew reached out to us and offered his services for any upcoming events that might benefit from a little extra pampering — and wow, did he ever deliver! He joined us at our Easter event last weekend and provided dog nail trims and adorable nail polish pedicures for a $15 donation to our rescue. Every single dime raised from his work went directly to helping our dogs. How amazing is that?

Andrew is currently working hard behind the scenes to set up his very own grooming studio, and we can’t wait to share more about that when he’s ready. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a groomer who’s not only incredibly skilled but also gentle, kind, and truly loves animals, Andrew’s your guy.

We were a little too busy during the event to snap as many photos of him in action as we wanted — but if your pup got Easter-themed nails last weekend, PLEASE drop a pic in the comments and show them off! We’d love to see them!

And if you missed out — you’re in luck!
We’ll be bringing the full Easter setup AND Andrew back out for another fun-filled day at Pet Valu Market Street this Saturday, April 12th Easter At Pet Valu - Market ! Come by for photos, treats, and of course, $15 nail trims and complimentary polish.

Let’s hear it for Andrew — a true gem in our community. We’re beyond grateful for your generosity, time, and incredible care for our furry friends!

04/10/2025

It’s Thankful Thursday and we’re sending out a HUGE heartfelt thank you to another local animal-loving powerhouse!

At our Easter event this past Saturday at Ren’s Pets Brantford, we were so thrilled to have Will and his amazing mom Kristi from Good Will Good Karma come out to show their support.

Not only are they a local non-profit that’s all about helping animals and supporting local rescues — but they also so generously donated $500 to our rescue that day! On top of that, they picked up a stylish Sato Saved shirt to represent and spread the word. Talk about showing up and giving back in all the right ways!

Good Will Good Karma does incredible work behind the scenes helping not just us, but many local rescues that are all fighting for the same cause: saving animals and giving them a better life. Their support means more than words can say — not just to us, but to every dog, cat, and rescue team they’ve helped along the way.

Please show them some love and head over to their page to give them a like and follow. Groups like theirs are making a real impact, and your support helps keep the kindness going.

Thank you, Will and Kristi, for your generosity, your time, and your hearts. We’re so grateful to be in this community with organizations like yours beside us!

It’s Thankful Thursday, and we are absolutely hopping with gratitude!

At our Easter event last Saturday at Ren’s Pets Brantford, we were lucky enough to have the most perfect Easter Bunny we could’ve asked for — and the best part? She volunteered out of the kindness of her heart!

A huge shoutout to Cari Stratford-Dougherty and her incredible 14-year-old daughter Calysa, who truly went above and beyond for the rescue. Cari reached out to let us know her daughter would love to help, and from that moment on, they were all in.

They took time out of their day to meet up before the event so we could go over what being the bunny would involve. She tried on the costume to make sure she was comfortable, and let us tell you — she was born for this role!

She arrived early on the day of the event to help us set up the vendor space — a job that always takes longer than expected — and dove right in. Throughout the day, she was absolutely amazing with the kids, the dogs, and the chaos that comes with a busy rescue event. She's the kind of volunteer who jumps in wherever help is needed, without ever needing to be asked. That kind of initiative and kindness is rare at any age — and she’s only 14!

And she didn’t stop there… she even stayed late to help pack everything up, organizing things so well that we’re now ready to go for our next event. She’s already enthusiastically signed up for our Potluck & Puppies event next month — and we can’t wait to have her back!

We also want to give a big thank you to her mom, Cari, for helping to make this all possible and getting her to and from the event — especially since they live out of town!

Sometimes we ask to meet with volunteers ahead of time, just to make sure it’s the right fit — especially when events are busy and there’s no time to train on the spot. So to have such a smooth, thoughtful, and helpful experience from start to finish? It means the world to us.

Please join us in giving a huge round of applause to this amazing young woman and her supportive mom!
We are so grateful for volunteers like you who make rescue events not only possible — but memorable.

Oops, we don't have a picture of Calysa without her costume 😬🫣

It’s Thankful Thursday, and we’ve got a big one to share!

Last weekend, we were lucky enough to host a super fun Easter event at REN'S PETS, and it was a huge success! We want to give a massive shoutout to the entire team there — especially Laura, who always goes the extra mile for us.

Why Laura? Because she always checks in. If she hasn’t seen a post or event from us in a while, she’s the first to reach out with a, “Hey, when are you coming back?!” — and honestly, in the chaos that is rescue life, that kind of support means everything. It’s easy to get lost in the daily whirlwind, but having people like Laura and the Ren’s Pets team who not only welcome us but actively want us there is truly heartwarming.

They had the space cleared and ready for us when we arrived, and the staff were, as always, incredibly helpful and kind. If you didn’t know — Ren’s Pets Brantford also keeps a donation box for us on site, so if you’re ever in the store and want to help out, you can drop a cash donation right there!

This time, we brought all the things:

🧁Baked goods
🐾Rescue merch
🐰Easter Bunny and Photo Ops
🐣A mini egg hunt + gift bags for the kiddos
✂️Andrew’s amazing nail trims and polish station, with every cent going to support the pups!

Together, we raised almost $800 in just one day!

So please — help us give Ren’s Pets Brantford some love!
Pop into the store, give their page a like and a share, and let them know that their continued support for local rescues doesn’t go unnoticed. If you need anything for your furry family members, they’ve got you covered with everything from food to toys to grooming supplies.

And if you missed the Easter event — don’t worry, we’ll be at Pet Valu on Market Street this Saturday, April 12th! Come by and say hi!

A week ago today, we would receive a message that would send shockwaves through our rescue, and completely debilitate us quite literally...

**Please don't come here to tell us what we've done wrong or what we could've done different. We are well aware - and we did check in, but unfortunately the updates were misleading.**

On Wednesday, we got a text message notifying that Skippy was in need of vet care. Nothing could prepare us for what we were about to witness the next day... Skippy was being returned to his original foster home - Flesherton Farmhouse: early Thursday morning. For the past six-months he was with his 'adoptive' family.

What happened in this home was,
❌️ neglect of care
❌️ complacency
❌️ ignorance
❌️ severe lack of communication

We can not fathom or grasp how his situation got this bad and were only notified two days prior... with the messages being so nonchalant.

When Skippy arrived, Katie was hit by a wall of necrotic flesh smell - so vulgar she struggled not to throw up. This once tiny little boy was now a stunning 90lbs + and although in great spirits mentally, his lower body showed a darker state.

With wheelchair appointments not being accommodated (for various reasons), Skippy was left to do all of his movements with the shear weight of his body on his torso and tail. Wear marks and complete disintegration of his tail, swollen hips, and immense callus build up.

From the moment he arrived, we were very honest with ourselves, and how bad this really was, kicking ourselves that we became 'okay' with the lack of communication... thinking he was happy and healthy, as nothing would suggest otherwise.

The grim reality is that this young dog was sentenced to death by individuals who couldn't ask for assistance when it was so desperately needed. Putting their egos and pride ahead of his needs? We aren't 100% positive as to the motives and why they waited so long to touch base. But, one thing we can promise is that we will be changing our protocols and procedures going forward.

After speaking with multiple vets on Skippy's condition + arranging an emergency vet visit on Friday morning with Fifth Avenue Veterinary Clinic - discussing ways to fix the damage done; palliative vs. surgical, we opted to do the selfless thing and let him cross the rainbow bridge. We as a team are confident in this decision, but it doesn't make it any less hard.

We love you, Skippy. We're sorry we failed you 💔🌈

----

We understand how upsetting this post is going to be for most people, and we are sorry. We wanted to do a post to consolidate our feelings and make sure we took the appropriate steps when dealing with this incredibly difficult situation.
