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.

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.

Chiquitín

Left behind when his owners moved away, this cute little nugget is healthy, sweet, and so very smart.

Pájaro

Found chained to a fence, this small, sweet boy is now healthy and fun. Pájaro barely sheds and gets along with dogs, kids, and adults.

Lili

This sweet one year old little girl will steal your heart with her loving and playful demeanor. She came to us after being found apparently falling out of a moving vehicle and no one stopping.

Chimichurri

This little girl is nine months old and what a sweet little girl she is. Found with her brother alone and with a severe respiratory infection. Today Chimichurri is happy and healthy and fully recovered.

Vanilla

Vanilla is a playful six-month-old who loves cuddles and the other dogs. She should stay small to medium size.

Nikki

This sweet little two-year-old came to us after being found running on the streets with her puppy, Nick. They were starting to death and we go them just in time.

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!

Meet Our Goats & Cows

Goats and Cows come to us from a number of reasons. Either they are 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.
