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.

It's FRIDAY!! And we are busy busy with puppies and medical cases. This week Elmer had a post op delay with his neuter and is on some antibiotics
Apollo went to the specialest again and his skin is doing SOOO much better with this new regime. His food is a small mortgage payment a month though 😨
I don't have a specific dog to direct funds to because they're all costing us an arm and a leg. However we do have sweet Spice starting her heartworm treatment in a few short weeks and that will be a few thousand dollars.
Every dollar sent our way helps us provide the best care for all of the dogs here at Sato Saved.
I cant say it enough how incredible our supporters are. Each and every one of you!!!
We truly couldn't keep doing this without your generous support. So thank you!!
If you can spare 5$ today- e transfers can be sent to [email protected]

Adoptable
Gnocchi (Noki)
11 months (tuns one Aug 16 2025)
Spayed female
Xl Bully
80lbs
This girl joined us as a puppy and she was placed into a foster to adopt home with one of my good friends and regular fosters.
Unfortunately due to reasons that have nothing to do with Gnocchi, it's not going to work out. She is looking for a different home that will meet her needs and has breed experience!
She has completed 2 levels of obedience class at ODS and is fully crate trained and house broken.
Has great recall.
She could use some work on her heeling on leash but overall is a very well mannered girl.
Gnocchi LOVES other dogs and is fantastic with puppies and plays very well with any dog she meets.
She's great with people, and children, however due to her size and her personality type, her best suited home is with older children (12 and up) or no kids. I am very firm on this so please do not apply if you have kids in the home under 12 or plan to have children in the near future.
She is a giant puppy and can be mouthy. She will mouth hands and arms if the person isn't firm with her. She takes advantage of little people and can be a bit of a bully with her body and size. She means no harm but can definitely play bite hard.
Gnocchi needs a home with plans to continue to socialize and train her. She needs to keep her mind busy or she looks for things to keep busy with. She enjoys a good bone or bully stick. She can have a sensitive tummy with some things and doesn't get fed people food
She's an AC kind of dog and isn't a fan of the hot days. She currently uses a doggy door and never has any accidents.
She would love to have another dog or 2 to play with. She is okay with small dogs but has not had any cat exposure so it would be a work in progress and dog savvy cats would be a must. Otherwise I'd suggest no cats.
Adoption fee is $850 which includes all of her Vaccines da2pp and lepto, rabies, spay, microchip and her parasite prevention is up to date(spectra)
If you want to adopt her please email an application to [email protected]
Luke and London
9 weeks old
Males (available separately)
Black lab x(possibly a tiny bit of something else in there)
Mom is a lab dad is unknown but guessed to be a lab mix
These 2 pups were born in rescue after we helped their mom who needed a c section. She has been returned to her family, spayed. We have these 2 boys and a sister (Freya- her post is coming) available for foster to adopt
Due to their age they are not fully vetted and will remain under the care of the rescue until around 16 weeks of age
Adopter must be available to return pups to Brantford once a month for supplies and vetting.
During their foster to adopt with their new forever families we will provide all food and supplies. Once the pups are completely vetted they can be officially adopted.
These boys are fantastic and have been exposed to kids, other dogs, and are started on crate training.
Adoption fee for all pups is $850 which includes their neuter and all shots, monthly parasite prevention and microchip.
Post adoption training is required with all puppy adoptions. This can be anywhere. We do have some low cost options available locally.
If you were interested in Ash but missed out, these boys would be a great option! They're super handsome and smart and willing to work for food anytime lol
He is emaciated and has sores all over his hind end
He also has a huge tumor on his testicle and his hip bones are calloused showing he's been this way a while.... he can't have surgery till he gains some weight
Hes only about 7 years old but has likely been used for breeding and then developed some health issues and was Discarded like trash
His true history we may never know.
Marcus is very critical and we need all the support we can get to help him get through this:(
This boy deserves a fighting chance and a real future on a couch with all the lovins ❤️
He will be looking for a foster to adopt after we can get him stable.
Please share !!

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.
