SATOS Act of 2025
Rural Animal Shelter Grants and Loans
The SATOS Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Agriculture for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While animal welfare is often a popular topic, this bill currently lacks bipartisan support and has a very small budget, making it a low priority for the current Congress.
Key Points
- This bill creates a new federal program to help rural towns build or fix up animal shelters, vet clinics, and spay and neuter centers.
- Local governments, Tribal groups, and nonprofit organizations in areas with fewer than 50,000 people would be eligible to apply for these grants and loans.
- The government would cover up to 75 percent of the project costs, with the most help going to the smallest or lowest-income communities.
- The program provides up to 10 million dollars in grants each year to buy equipment, vehicles, and technology needed to care for pets like dogs, cats, and birds.
- It also includes money for training and planning to help local groups manage their facilities and find more ways to fund their work.
