Millions of people will see us on television and around 5th avenue on June 13, 2010, representing INKY BLUE SEA and MANOSPORPATAS in the #1 Parade of NYC, The Puerto Rican Parade!
A proud Puerto Rican and advocate for animals right everywhere, our goal is to recognize the “Satos” (mutts) from the island, promoting education towards sterilization of pets, general care such as vaccinations and rescues of pets in the Puerto Rican community.
