WHO WE ARE
Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue CR is an animal rescue project in Costa Rica founded by four women with one thing in common: an unconditional love of animals. They met one day while volunteering at a local spay & neuter clinic in a small mountain

village and, because of their common concern for abandoned and neglected animals, decided to form the organization. Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue CR offers temporary care and residence for abandoned dogs and cats, that are often in an extreme physical condition or victims of abuse. Once the recovery is complete, the animal will be given up for adoption, only after being vaccinated, spayed or neutered by our organization. Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue CR survives thanks to the contribution of volunteers and donors, who care about abandoned, abused or neglected animals. Some volunteers provide their professional assistance in areas such as fundraising, educational workshops, spay and neuter clinics etc. Others simply provide affection and love to the dogs by taking care of their daily needs. Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue CR has no financial partners or fixed income. Every day we work hard to try to get the necessary funds together in order to continue on our mission. HOW DOES CHARLIE’S ANGELS WORK? Charlie’s Angels is a foster home based rescue organisation for dogs and cats, who are often victims of extreme cases of abuse and neglect, in need of temporary shelter and rehabilitation. All the animals taken in by our organization are given a complete health check, before moving into foster homes. Once the animal is fully recovered and re-socialized, it will be given up for responsible adoption within Costa Rica, or possibly in the USA and Canada. THE 3 CHARLIE’S ANGELS PROGRAMS:​​


1. Spay & neuter clinics

These campaigns are carried out regularly in the rural neighborhood and also in surrounding villages. We offer the community the possibility to have their dogs and cats (male and female) fixed at a reduced cost, offering discounts to pet owners with low incomes. The price includes post-operative drugs and care. All surgeries are performed by a veterinarian who is licensed by the Costa Rican Professional Veterinary Association. The vets are trained and authorized to safely perform these operations.



2. Foster care homes

This program consists of placing neglected and abused animals in the temporary shelter of a foster family, if we have an overflow in our rescue centre. Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue CR offers the volunteering families in this program a monthly package of food, de-worming pills and other required medical attention. A dog bed or crate is also supplied to make the animal feel comfortable and at home. A volunteer from Charlie’s Angels regularly visits the foster home to give support, supervision, and assistance.

3. Final adoption

Thanks to our constant social media presence and international networking, Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue CR finds permanent homes for our rescued dogs throughout Costa Rica and also in the United States and Canada. All animals that are put up for adoption are spayed / neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and in good general health. We take the adoption process very seriously and only give our animals to people who are willing to fill out our adoption questionnaire, share photos of themselves and their home and have no issue with paying an adoption fee. Our adoption fee helps to recover veterinary and food costs incurred by each rescue case and assures us that the adopter is serious and has the financial means to maintain a dog. Our organization would not be able to survive on donations alone. HOW CAN YOU BECOME AN "Angel for CHARLIE”? Contact us to join our team of foster parents. You can assist at workshops or neutering / spaying clinics. You can donate materials, food, and funds to help towards our programs and you can help us by being a flight - or transportation volunteer. You can also help us by promoting us and our dogs by sharing our posts on social media. PURA VIDA * LOVE * COMPASSION!

We are heartbroken for Mocho 💔

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the crushing news with you: we have not yet found a home for sweet Mocho - not even a temporary foster home. 😔

Mocho still lives chained up in that small and wet dog house in a field, far away from the warmth and love he deserves.

His owner feeds him, but his current situation falls far short of the basic needs every dog needs to thrive.

Nevertheless, Mocho's spirit still shines. He is a loving and playful one-year-old, 22lbs (10kg)

- Great with kids
- friendly with other dogs
- good with cats
- Well behaved off the lead / excellent recall
- Full of playful energy and affection
- Neutered, vaccinated and de-wormed - ready for his new life!

We have done everything we can to prepare him for a better future. We took him for walks and arranged some play dates, and each time his sweet, grateful nature melted our hearts.
But it breaks our hearts to put him back on his chain after every walk and every cuddle…

Mocho needs a family or a foster home where he can finally be part of a home - where he can run, play and soak up the love he craves.

Please help us give Mocho the life he deserves. If you've ever thought about fostering or adopting him, now is the time. If you can't take him in, please share his story with someone who might be able to.

Mocho is currently in Rivas, Pérez Zeledón, but we are happy to help organise transport.

Let's free Mocho from his chain and get him to a home where he belongs…

Can you give him the chance he's always dreamed of?

Contact us us here today to find out more or to arrange a meeting with this awesome little guy.

💌 Please share - every bit of help counts! 💌

Apollo is still looking for a home!

APOLLO 🐾

- Age: Approximately 5+ years old

- Weight: 60 lbs / 27 kg

- Health: Neutered, vaccinated, and dental cleaned. Up to date on everything.

- Location: Rivas / Perez Zeledon (transport options available)

Apollo is the largest and calmest dog in our care. This gentle giant has a teddy bear demeanor and soulful amber eyes that will melt your heart.

Apollo's owner sadly passed away, leaving no family in Costa Rica to adopt him.

We are looking a loving home where Apollo will be loved and cherished like he was before.

Apollo is incredibly friendly and gentle with every human he meets. Our vet, Dra Adriana, was impressed with how cooperative Apollo was during his visit. He tolerated the examination and injections without lifting an eye brow.

We visit him regularly in his currentl foster home, and he is always happy to see us and grateful for the bones we bring.

Apollo's fosterer takes him for walks twice a day, he very calm on walks and stays close to his side. Although he has encountered many dogs without issues, Apollo can react to other dogs. An incident with his previous owner led to a fight, which didn’t end well for the other dog, so Apollo needs a home without other dogs.

Apollo is house-trained, doesn't chew on things, loves to relax in a cozy dog bed. An excellent indoor companion.

* Outdoor Space: A fenced yard or garden is essential for Apollo to enjoy being outside off-lead

* Handler: Apollo needs a strong and experienced handler who can manage him on walks and handle possible encounters with other dogs appropriately. Should never be let off the lead outside.

Sweet Apollo needs a home that will provide him with the love and stability he deserves. If you can offer Apollo the home he needs, please contact us. Apollo is ready to bring joy and companionship to his new family.

Contact us to arrange a meeting and see if Paloma is the perfect addition to your family. She is currently fostered in Perez Zeledon, but we can help you organise transport.

Just rescued ♥️ ROSIE

This little young dog was limping around the hospital in San Isidro looking for food.

A nurse working there noticed that the dog was pregnant.

She asked us if we would take on the case.... and even though we have sooo many dogs and puppies… and how could we say no…

So the nurse took her to our vet to have her examined.

It is a young and friendly female, probably a year old. It could be her first pregnancy.

She weighs about 15 pounds and is VERY pregnant.

Thankfully the limp was caused by a broken nail, so nothing serious.

We urgently need a foster home for the little mamacita where she can give birth in safety and take care of her puppies.

Our organization provides everything you need: guidance athroughout the process, a kennel, puppy enclosure, vet care, food and anything else needed.

Please contact us if you can imagine being a part of something so special!

🐾 Meet Paloma! 🐾

Paloma is a sweet 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, weighing about 15 kg. She’s spayed, fully house-trained, and ready to find her forever home! ❤️

Paloma and her sister Rosita were sadly left behind when their owner, an expat, moved to the beach. For weeks, they lived at a construction site where kind workers fed them.

Thankfully, we were able to place Paloma in a loving foster home where she has been for several weeks now, and she’s thriving!

She’s a super relaxed, chilled dog who gets along wonderfully with the seven other dogs she lives with. She’s a dream indoors—no chewing, no accidents, and she absolutely loves lounging in her dog bed. She can be trusted off-leash, always staying close to her human.

Paloma is calm, super affectionate and well-mannered, she would make a great companion for anyone looking for an easy-going, medium size dog. She’s ready to bring her laid-back vibes to a loving forever home!

Contact us to arrange a meeting and see if Paloma is the perfect addition to your family. She is currently fostered in Perez Zeledon, but we can help you organise transport.

female, 3-4 years old · 5.5 kg / 12 lbs · vet checked · vaccinated · will be spayed Nov 17th · playful · potty trained · well behaved indoors · calm and submissive

Fostered near Rivas / PZ

Meet Maya, the Sweet and Loyal Companion!

Maya and her puppy Chloe were rescued from an abandoned house in Rivas, where both were underweight and neglected. Thanks to a loving foster home, they’re now healthy, happy, and ready for their forever families!

Maya is a petite, gentle lady who would be a wonderful companion in almost any setting.

Though she’s about 3-4 years old, she still has a playful spirit and an adorable “booty shake” that she shows off every time she sees her favorite people!

Here’s a bit more about Maya:

* Super sweet and affectionate; loves being petted
* Good on and off leash; enjoys exploring but stays close
* Potty trained and well-behaved indoors
* Small enough to fit in a cabin carrier for air travel
* Sleeps through the night, usually on a cozy blanket by the bed (not much of a bed sleeper herself)

Maya is generally relaxed but can be a bit anxious, especially with new people. She does best with calm, gentle humans who let her come to them. She’s okay with people she trusts petting her, though it helps if she can see you coming—she sometimes startles if touched unexpectedly, like when sleeping.

She’s been good with meeting other dogs and loves her daily walks. With her calm and friendly demeanor, Maya is the ideal dog for anyone who wants a small, loving, and well-behaved companion who’s happy simply being by your side.

Note: Maya’s perfect home would be with adults or families with gentle, older children, as she can be sensitive around young kids who might not understand her boundaries.

If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a gentle heart and a happy wiggle, Maya could be the perfect match for you! 🐾

Please contact us or send us your adoption application if you would like to meet little Maya.

She is in a foster home in the Chirripo Mountains, but we can help with transportation to bring her to you.

We have a free ride to San Jose this Wednesday!

TOBY 💕🐾

* 8 kilos (17,6 lbs)
* adult weight about 9 kg / 19 lbs
* about 8-9 months old
* neutered
* UTD on vaccines and deworming
* house trained
* super playful
* crate trained
* can be left at home for a few hours
* great with cats & dogs
* perfect second dog

📍 - fostered in Rivas (PZ)

Toby was found with his mom, Nova (who has already found a home- yay!), at an abandoned construction site down in Uvita. We’re not sure how long they’d been living there or if Toby was born there, but it was a challenge to catch them and bring them both to safety.

Once Toby settled into a loving foster home, he gradually began to trust people. His friendship and playful personality with other dogs has helped him build confidence, though he still has some quirks and triggers that can scare him. These fears are slowly fading, but he’ll need continued support.

Toby would thrive in a home with another playful dog and a human who understands his past and is committed to helping him feel secure.

Toby is incredibly sweet; he just needs guidance to help him let go of some difficult memories. When he gets scared, he freezes, but he’s completely gentle—there’s not a nippy bone in his body!

With his small stature and lovable personality, Toby is a unique find for the right family. He’s a cuddle bug, fantastic in his crate, food-motivated, and incredibly intelligent.
After surviving on the streets with his mom, Toby’s keen awareness of his surroundings makes him a truly special guy. 🥰
He needs a home with another playful dog! 🐾

Please contact us or send us your adoption application if you would like to meet little Toby.

He is in a foster home in Rivas, but we can help with transportation to bring him to you.

We have a free ride to San Jose this Wednesday (tomorrow!)!

Loki 💕🐾

female, 5-6 months old · 5.5 kg / 12 lbs · vet checked · vaccinated · will be spayed Nov 17th · playful · outgoing · loves her crate · does well with potty training -

- Loki’s adult weight more or less 15 kg / 30 lbs.

📍 Fostered near Rivas / PZ

This adorable girl was found by two German sisters on vacation in Costa Rica. They discovered the skinny, neglected puppy by the beach in Uvita and brought her to a vet for a check-up, deworming, and a blood test to make she was healthy (Yay for people like you, girls!)
As they were road-tripping through Costa Rica, they decided to take little Loki along, even though they knew they couldn’t take her back to Germany.
They reached out to our organization once they were in Quepos, planning to continue further north.

Luckily, we were able to find a foster home here in Rivas, so the girls drove all the way back, adjusting their travel plans to bring Loki to a safe and loving place.

The girls were heartbroken to say goodbye to their little gem, but knowing Loki would be close to Charlie’s Angels in a good foster home gave them peace of mind.

Loki has been in her foster home since Friday. She’s already super happy, loves her crate, and has almost no accidents indoors!
She has a great appetite and foster mum is spoiling her with home made dog food!

This is what foster mum Aux'na teold us about Loki:

"I’ve only spent 3 days with Loki, but it feels like so much longer. After being neglected and on her own for who knows how long, the amount of love she has to give is nothing less than humbling, and the purity of her trust, so heart warming. She is joyful, charismatic, and curious .. not to mention a great listener! She is noticeably very smart and easily responding to commands, she also gets along well with the animals (after the cat setting her boundaries once or twice 😆) ... it’s been so lovely having this sweet girl in our home, and I just know she is going to bring so much joy into another families."

This week, she’ll be vaccinated, and next Sunday, we’ll have her spayed.

We estimate Loki to be about 5-6 months old. She currently weighs around 5.5 kg / 12 lbs, though she’s still very skinny.

We estimate Loki’s adult weight to be more or less 15 kg / 33 lbs.

Please comntact us or send us your adoption application if you would like to meet little Loki.

She is in a foster home in the Chirripo Mountains, but we can help with transportation to bring her to you.

We have a free ride to San Jose this Wednesday!

Meet Onix, ♥️🐾

This handsome black lab mix, about 10 months old, was reported to us by a local woman who found him on the street in a lot of pain.
Onix could barely walk, had difficulty sitting, and wasn't interested in eating.

We agreed to take on his case as it was obvious in how much pain he was. we had him brought to Corral del Sol Vet Clinic in San Isidro.

X-rays showed a fracture on the left side of his hip, along with a partially displaced femoral head, though thankfully it hasn’t completely dislocated.🙏🏼

Onix has now been at the clinic for 12 days, receiving muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories for the first few days.

When we visited him last week, we couldn’t believe the progress he’d made!
The pup greeted us with so much joy and is already walking with barely a limp—and that without painkillers.

With continued rest and TLC, we’re hopeful he can heal fully without needing surgery.

Onix is a super friendly, gorgeous young pup, weighing around 40 lbs. We’ll have him neutered soon, after which he’ll be ready for his forever home.

Although Onix didn’t need surgery, his vet costs—including X-rays, medications, vaccinations, and boarding fees—have already reached about $250.

Our funds are really tight right now, and we’re struggling to cover all the bills. We have so many new cases, some long term, others requiring costly surgeries.

If you’re able to spare a little, please consider sending a donation.

Your support will make a big difference and help us continue our work. Thank you for being there for the animals!

Meet little princess Chloe 🐾
The sweetest puppy with the fluffiest ears and the biggest eyes!
We rescued Chloe together with her adorable mum Maya (who is also up for adoption, see last photo) from an abandoned house in Rivas.

Luckily we found a great foster home for both of them where they are thriving. They play all day and are very cuddly with their foster parents.

But now it's time for Chloe to start her own life. She is a beautiful little puppy with a very strong personality.

We believe they may be a cross with a Papillon. Chloe will be spayed on November 17.

Please send us your adoption application if you would like to meet little Chloe.

She is in a foster home in the Chirripo Mountains, but we can help with transportation to bring her to you.

This is the difference we can make in a dog’s life! Lulu was a dog we freed from her sad life chained up to a tiny dog house… now look at her 😍

Please help us to change the life of Mocho too who is tied up on a chain to this tiny dog house which gets soaking wet when it rains and boiling hot under the sun…

Even if you can take Mocho only temporary into foster care that would already be so helpful!

It would mean the world to him…🙏🏼

Mocho is a small dog of 10kg / 22lbs, up to date with vaccinations etc and neutered.
Super social and he absolutely loves to play with other dogs!

He is currently in Rivas / PZ, probably soaking wet in his little dog house… waiting for someone yo get him out of there.

Could that be you?

BENJI 🐾🧡

Male • about 1-1.5 years old • 10kg / 22 lbs · neutered and up to date with shots and deworming · rarely barks · calm energy · no prey drive · very friendly to people and dogs · trusting · well behaved indoors · house trained · walks well on leash · great recall · non shedding

📍 Fostered in RIVAS PZ

We are often asked how dogs end up in your care? Well, in Benji's case, it was because he was in the right place at the right time.
When Federica and I went to check on the 5 puppies in Pueblo Nuevo, the village where our rescue center used to be, we stopped at the property and nostalgically looked over the fence…. We still miss the days when all the dogs ran around and played in this beautiful garden...

On our way back, as we passed there again, we noticed a dog curled up in the dirt, under the bench at the bus stop opposite the former shelter entrance. We stopped the car and approached the dog. When he saw us, he greeted us super friendly. We assume people had left him there because they thought the shelter was still open. We asked around and the neighbours told us that the dog had been abandoned there a few days earlier.

His coat was matted and he was covered in fleas, underweight and not neutered.
We brought him home in our car and he moved into Federica's house. From the very first second, Benji, as we named him, was just the perfect dog.
With his calm and friendly disposition, Benji steals the heart of anybody who meets him, without fail.
His sweet, easygoing personality makes him ideal for first-time dog owners or anyone looking for a low-maintenance, well-mannered companion.
Benji has a calm energy and is wonderfully polite around the house - he doesn’t jump on furniture and is perfectly house trained. With great leash manners and an excellent off-leash recall, he’s a joy to walk, and his low-prey drive and quiet nature mean he’s unlikely to cause any trouble. Benji rarely barks and would be happy as an only dog or as part of a pack.

He’s trusting, friendly with everyone, and has minimal shedding, which may make him a good fit for allergy sufferers.

Benji is truly the perfect companion, and we can’t wait for him to find the loving home he deserves!

Contact us to arrange a meeting and see if Benji is the perfect addition to your family. He is currently fostered in Perez Zeledon, but we can help you organise transport.

We just returned from our trip to take little Tilda to the neurologist in San Jose!

Thank you to everyone who donated to make this possible 🙏🏼

Tilda was a star throughout the adventurous drive over the Cerro de la Muerte during big storms on both days of the trip. It was gnarly 😰

But Tilda was just relaxing in her crate. She is such a sweet little puppy, so happy and well behaved! We stayed overnight with friends in San Jose and everyone was smitten by her charm 🐾

The doctor did a brain scan and we will know the results in a few days.

What we already know for sure is that Tilda is completely deaf.

Soon we will know more about her eyesight and the causes of her special condition.

Tilda is now reunited with little foster brother Ollie, who is her very best friend!

More on Tilda soon!

Stay tuned… 🐾♥️🐾

Update on Carlitos... the adorable senior we found with an injured back leg. ❤️‍🩹💔

Initially, we thought Carlitos might not need surgery, as he was still managing to walk and play on three legs. However, it soon became clear he was in pain, and we decided surgery was necessary.

The night before his operation, we received an unexpected message from Carlitos' owner, explaining that their family had been searching for him and were relieved he’d been rescued and was safe.
They told us Carlitos (originally named Porky) had been a family member for 13 years, and that his injury had been caused by an attack from a large neighborhood dog about a month ago.

We let the family know he was scheduled for surgery the next day and asked if they’d like us to proceed.
We offered to cover the costs but asked if they could contribute and take steps to make sure their home environment would be safer for Carlitos so he would stay out of trouble.
They agreed to all our requests and even offered to pick him up as soon as he was discharged from the clinic.

Sadly, we haven’t heard back from them since. After a few days had passed and Carlitos was at the vet waiting to be picked up, a family member informed us that they had decided not to take him back. 😢
It was so disappointing.., we didn’t even receive a thank-you or apology from the family let alone any kind of finacial contribution…

However, good news is, Carlitos is now happily settled in a foster home, playing beautifully with his two small foster siblings (both Charlies Angels alumnis), loves to go for walks and getting along great with cats. He’s truly thriving!

Carlitos' vet bill came to 128,750 CRC, about 250 dollars. Please, if anyone can contribute, it would be a great help, especially now in our difficult financial situation. Thank you very much!

Carlitos is ready to be adopted! He is happy, social and only weighs 12 pounds! A fenced yard would be great for this little guy so he is safe and secure at all times!

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS:

We have the following transportation planned for some other rescued animals who have found a home. We could include the pup in one of these transports and you will only have to pay for part of the journey.

This 5-month-old puppy was found abandoned on the side of the road.... Tiny and scared, she was about 3 months old, disoriented, and only able to walk in circles with her head tilted to one side.

We don’t know how long Tilda was out there or what caused her condition, but we’re so grateful to the kind people who rescued her and reached out to us.

Thanks to a loving foster home, Tilda is making progress and has been under consistent veterinary care since she was found.

Her treatment with Prednisone has helped her greatly, she’s now playful and loves to run around in the garden with her foster brother, Ollie. However, her head tilt remains, and we suspect she may be deaf.
She also initially struggled with eating but is improving daily.

Despite these positive changes, Tilda still needs specialized care. Our vet recommends a visit to a neurologist in San José to better understand her condition, and we’ve scheduled an appointment for Wednesday.

We urgently need your support to cover her specialized treatment costs. The consultation alone is $100, plus transportation (it’s a 7 hours round trip by car) expenses and any tests required.

Unfortunately we are struggling with funds... we don't have the funds for the consultation, so we are asking for your help.
Please consider making a donation to help Tilda get the answers and treatment she needs to live a happy, healthy life.

We thank you SO MUCH 🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼

Mocho 🐾🧡

Male, approx. 1 year old, 10 kg / neutered / up-to-date on vaccinations, etc. / loves children / gets on well with other dogs / stays close even off the lead / playful energy / affectionate / very grateful for any affection and attention

Please help us get Mocho off his chain‼️‼️

This adorable young dog, about a year old, is currently living chained to a small doghouse in a field, a distance from his family’s home.
While he’s getting fed, his situation lacks the basics that every dog deserves.

With the family’s understanding, we’ve started the rehoming process to find Mocho a caring environment that better suits his needs.
We’ve made sure Mocho is fully prepared for his new life: he’s been vet cheked, neutered, vaccinated and dewormed.

We’ve taken him on walks, given him playdates with other dogs, and he’s shown us what a wonderful, affectionate companion he can be. Since a foster home has yet to be found, it’s heartbreaking to return him to his current setup after each outing.

Mocho has an incredibly sweet nature, is great with children, and gets along well with other dogs. He’s intelligent, easy to train, and full of energy. Off-leash, he shines—his recall is excellent, and he loves to stay close by. With a bit more leash training, he’ll make an ideal walking companion, too.

For now, Mocho is still waiting for the chance to be a true family member. We hope to find him either a foster or forever home where he can finally experience the companionship, comfort, and love he so deserves.

Contact us to arrange a meeting and see if Mocho is the perfect addition to your family. He is currently in Rivas, Perez Zeledon, but we can help you organise transport.

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS:

We have the following transportation planned for some other rescued animals who have found a home. We could include the pup in one of these transports and you will only have to pay for part of the journey.

URGENT! PLEASE SHARE! Little Carlos Needs a Home or Temporary Foster! Carlos was living on the streets of Guadalupe de Rivas, and we saw him nearly hit by a car twice in just one hour during our spay and neuter clinic 😬. One of his hind legs is already broken, and he walks on three legs, so we took him in before it was too late. We’re so glad we did! ABOUT CARLITOS: This sweet senior is small (6 kg / 13 lbs), super friendly, and playful with other dogs, despite his age and injury. He loves his fluffy dog bed and is always full of joy! We've dewormed, vaccinated, and treated him for fleas and ticks. He’s even had a dental cleaning, with some bad teeth removed, so he’s feeling much better. Next week, we’ll do X-rays to determine if his broken leg should be amputated, as it’s an old injury that has already healed incorrectly. But we urgently need a foster or forever home! His current foster can’t keep him much longer due to travel. Carlos is easygoing, affectionate, and ready for a safe and happy home. He’s already neutered and all set to start his new chapter! 📍 Currently fostered in Rivas / PZ CONTACT: 📞 WhatsApp: 8383 252514 ✉️ Email: [email protected]

Tested for ringworm, parvo, Guardia Had First puppy vaccination - booster due Oct 16th 📍Fostered in Matapalo (near Domi) These two babies were found being abandoned and neglected by the beach.

Both had skin infections caused by fleas but their fur is growing back nicely and the lesions are getting less every day. 🙏🏼 They have quickly responded to food and love and seem to have totally forgotten their rough start. 🙏🏼 Max and his sister Ziggy spend all day every day in a cycle of play, eat, sleep repeat. The 10 year old son of the foster family is super excited to have them around, so they get plenty of kid action as well as love. Clare, the foster mum tells us that potty training is going really well, they are starting to come when they are called. They both love cuddles, Ziggy likes to try to sleep on human feet or in a warm lap whenever she can. She has the most beautiful face. Max is fluffier than his sister and is brilliant at coming when he's called. Contact us to arrange a meeting and see Ziggy or Max are the pups you were waiting for.

Your decision to foster can change a life for the better overnight!

We finally found a foster home for mom and puppy! YAY! The momma dog, who we named Penny, was tied in the dirt to a motorcycle, right next to a chained non-stop barking pit bull, and had to care for her puppy under very difficult and stressful circumstances. Thanks to Sami-Te, who agreed to take Penny and her little puppy in, we were able to get them out of there. 🙌🏼 So yesterday, during a heavy thunderstorm, we picked up both girls and brought them to Sami-Te’s warm home. Scout, the little pup, was the first to come out of the crate, but Penny was very wary of the new situation and so shy… It took forever for her to finally come out of the crate. But after a few rounds of hand feeding, Penny slowly warmed up and eventually sat on Sami-te’s lap. 🙏🏼 This morning Penny and Scout started playing with each other and we are so happy to see that!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Soon the two ladies will be up for adoption! Stay tuned! Please get in touch if you have the opportunity to take on a foster dog or cat. Your decision can change a life for the better overnight! #adoptdontshop #fostersaveslives #wecanallbeangels

Foster home needed 🙏🏼
Foster home needed 🙏🏼

Hello community! This is an urgent appeal! We need a foster home for this small size mama dog and her 6 week old puppy in Pérez Zeledon. Mum is starving and currently tied up on a motorcycle in the dirt. The petit mama weighs only 10 pounds and the 6 week old puppy girl about 3 pounds. We have already had them vet checked and dewormed. The mother and her puppy now need a safe place to land until they are ready for adoption. Our organization will provide everything you need: a puppy enclosure, kennel, food, bowls, blankets, we will cover all medical expenses, etc. etc. Please get in touch if you would like to be the solution for this starving mom and her puppy 🙏🏼 Many thanks !🙏🏼 Tania / Charlies Angels Animal Rescue WhatsApp 8325 2514

Something else that happened this week is a real miracle...Do you remember that 2 weeks ago we asked for help because we needed a foster home for Nadia who was unable to walk in a drainage pipe?All the tests the vet had done were inconclusive (apart from a slight anaemia probably caused by starvation) and the x-rays showed nothing either.Fortunately, our best man at Charlie's Angels, Don Licho, and his partner Doña Thais agreed to look after Nadia and practise walking with her every day. Nothing happened on the first few days, Nadia continued to crawl on all fours and we had almost lost hope...But then, 3 days ago... THAT HAPPENED!!! When we saw the first video of Nadia sitting, we had tears in our eyes. She is now even standing up on her own, walking unassisted and going longer distances.We will continue with the steroids for a little longer and keep giving her good food (including chicken liver) and above all lots of love and care!Even the vets are completely astonished by Nadia's remarkable recovery! None of us would have thought it would happen so quickly. You GO NADIA!!! Thank you Thais and Licho, you are fantastic!!!
