Helping Animals

Meet Our Animals

Guayabo Animal Rescue began out of a love to help animals in need and the people who love them. When resources in an area are non-existent…someone needs to step-up with a helping hand. We decided to be that organization to provide hope to the beautiful people in this area, and the animals that deserve a chance to thrive.
Currently, at Guayabo Animal Rescue & Sanctuary we have (which changes almost daily):
  • 35 adoptable dogs, as well as 6 dogs that are long-term sanctuary residents
  • 14 goats, 8 horses, 2 cows, and 17 hens that are all long-term residents

Meet Our Dogs

 

Dogs come to us by either one of our partner veterinarians / rescues learn of abuse or neglect, a Good Samaritan calls us asking our team to investigate a situation, or we learn of an owner who can’t afford to care for their pet any longer. Animals that come to us have no other hope and this is why we now ask for your help! Please visit our adoption page to learn more and meet our dogs, keeping in mind a visit to see them ALL is best as not all are on the website due to this changes frequently. 

Meet Our Goats

 

Goats come to us from a number of reasons. Either a goat is abandoned and has no one to care for it, or is facing severe neglect or abuse. Once they come to us they become  long-term residents, living their life safe, happy, and loved. 

Meet Our Horses

 

Horses come to us due to neglect, abuse, or they are left with no one able to provide a loving home, complete with all the proper nutrition and medical needs to thrive. Costa Rican horses most often are ‘work’ animals, providing gardening services, trail rides, carriage rides, or for sport. They come to our rescue and those who can provide guests with low key calm (walking) trail rides. As you can imagine caring for a horse is expensive so your support is greatly appreciated! Hope you can meet these beauties soon! 

Our future is bright — because you care!
