Welcome to Guayabo Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Nestled in the serene province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Guayabo Animal Rescue and Sanctuary spans 300 acres of pristine wilderness. Our dedicated team rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes dogs, giving them a chance at a loving home. We also operate a pet food bank, providing essential support to families struggling to care for their pets during toug

h times. Our efforts extend beyond dogs; we rescue and care for horses, goats, and even have two adorable cows who have found safety and love with us. A cornerstone of our mission is our spay and neuter programs and medical support initiatives. These critical efforts help prevent overpopulation and ensure every animal receives the care they deserve. Additionally, we engage local school children through our educational programs, teaching them compassion and responsibility towards animals and the environment. Preserving our 300-acre sanctuary is crucial. It's not just a home for our animals but also a haven for wildlife, protected and cherished for generations to come. Guayabo Animal Rescue also offers eco-tourism opportunities for guests from around the world. Visitors can enjoy overnight stays in our spacious villa accommodations and explore our property on rescue horses, ATVs, or hiking trails. Be on the lookout for Howler monkeys, toucans, rare and beautiful butterflies, or even an elusive sloth. Guests will also be able to view stunning sunrises and sunsets from our wrap-around porches, alongside our free-roaming rescue dogs who can’t wait to love on you. We are a community, united by a shared passion to be the voice for the voiceless. Join us in our mission to save lives and make a lasting impact. Together, we can create a brighter future for animals in need and the people who love them. Guayabo Animal Rescue and Sanctuary: Where compassion meets action.

Mother's Day in Costa Rica, known locally as Día de la Madre, is a national holiday celebrated today! ❤️

This day is celebrated with great enthusiasm and love. It is a day to honor and appreciate mothers and mother figures for their love, care, and sacrifices.

Guayabo Animal Rescue can't let this day go by without thanking the behind-the-scenes ladies who help make it all happen - Ale & Mailyn. They are rarely in photos, but trust us when we say they are there helping with administrative tasks, photography, cleaning, and loving the animals. They live on the property, listen to the dogs bark daily (and still love them ALL), and cook wonderful meals to fuel the entire team.

Today and every day we thank you for the hard work and care you give your families to allow us to save lives.

Guayabo Animal Rescue experienced significant storm damage last week. Thankfully, no animals were injured, but one of our large animal barns was badly damaged. We are reaching out for your support to replace this vital structure.

This barn not only provides shelter and feeding areas, but it's also an ideal space for school groups to learn and for our regional veterinary school to teach.

Please consider helping us rebuild and continue providing a safe haven for our animals. Your generosity will make a huge difference.

For those interested, there is a barn naming opportunity available. Please contact Nicole at [email protected] for more details.

This loving and sweet old man was found lying by our fence, lifeless and in dire need of help. Emaciated, covered in ticks, and very ill, Juanki was scared and alone.

Last week, Guayabo Animal Rescue had the joy of welcoming students from Escuela San Isidro for a special educational day. Our mission is not just to rescue animals but also to educate our community, and these young minds had the chance to learn important lessons about pet care, the significance of spaying and neutering, and responsible animal ownership.

The students were eager and enthusiastic, and they had so much fun getting hands-on experience with our animals. Their smiles and curiosity were truly heartwarming, and it was wonderful to see them engage with our furry friends.

A huge thank you to Escuela San Isidro for visiting and to our incredible team for making this day such a memorable success. Together, we're fostering a community of responsible and compassionate animal caregivers, one student at a time.

Special thanks to Tails that Teach for the book donation!
