Forever in our corner

In Loving Memory of Barbara Slifka

The Sato Project mourns the loss of our dedicated supporter, Barbara Slifka. From her many years of advocating for The Sato Project and several other animal welfare organizations, it was clear she was a person determined to use her resources to help animals in need. Through her philanthropy and unconditional love for dogs, Barbara directly enabled The Sato Project to grow into the haven for Puerto Rican strays it is today, always stepping up with grace and compassion whenever we needed her most. She will be deeply missed by the entire #SatoStrong community.
