The SATOS Act of 2025 creates a program to fund animal care facilities in rural areas, improving the welfare of domestic animals. This is important because many rural communities lack the resources to care for animals properly.
1. This bill provides grants and loans for building and improving animal care facilities in rural areas. 2. Eligible entities can receive funding for shelters, veterinary clinics, and spay/neuter clinics. 3. The program aims to enhance animal welfare and public health in underserved communities. 4. Grants can cover up to 75% of the costs for developing these facilities. 5. Technical assistance and training will be available to help manage these facilities effectively.
Rural communities, animal shelters, and nonprofit organizations focused on animal welfare.
