What We Do

About Guayabo Animal Rescue & Sanctuary

Guayabo Animal Rescue & Sanctuary saves and rehabilitates animals in need, supports local communities through spay/neuter and pet food programs, and inspires compassion through education and eco-tourism—all while protecting 300 acres of natural habitat in Costa Rica.

Our vision is that in Costa Rica, every animal is valued, protected, and given the chance to thrive. We envision a future where communities are empowered to care for animals responsibly, where spay and neuter programs humanely reduce overpopulation, ecosystems are preserved, and compassionate action creates lasting change for generations to come.
