Chrissy Beckles - Giving New Life to Stray Dogs in Puerto Rico
Listen now
Description
The correlation between boxing and rescuing stray dogs isn’t one that’s clear at first glance. But for Chrissy Beckles, founder of the Sato Project, the connection is one she makes each and every day.  Since 2011, the Sato Project has rescued more than 8,000 dogs in Puerto Rico. With nearly half a million stray dogs roaming the island, there’s no one knockout solution. Chrissy sat down with host Jay Ruderman to talk about the long journey,  from gaining feral dogs’ trust, to finding funding, to weathering a category 5 hurricane.  Please fill out the Listener Feedback Form - Linked Here See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
