Guayabo Animal Rescue Every tour, stay, and donation helps us save lives and spread compassion. Here, we are more than just a sanctuary—we're a lifeline for animals in need.

Guayabo Animal Rescue is a 300-acre sanctuary in Guayabo de Bagaces, Costa Rica, saving animals through rescue, adoptions, spay/neuter, education, and community support. 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 r

ehomes 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 tough 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 more than an organization. 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.

What a wonderful few days with Melissa, David, Sara, and Jamie from Asheville, North Carolina! ❤️

They truly embraced everything Guayabo Animal Rescue has to offer — horseback riding, hiking the property, ATVs, loving on our rescue dogs, exploring, relaxing, and making themselves right at home.

Thank you, Melissa, David, Sara, and Jamie, for being such awesome guests and bringing such great energy.

Come back and see us soon! And everyone seeing this book your stay soon!🐴🐶🌿❤️

✨ A Happy Ending for Tiny Janrito ❤️🐾
When little Janrito first came to us, we weren’t sure he was going to survive.
His tiny body was weak, and his front paws were so severely bent that he couldn’t walk. Every day became a journey of hope—fluids, medications, vitamins, physical therapy, nutritious food, and, above all, endless love and patience.

Slowly, something incredible began to happen. Day by day, Janrito grew stronger. His little legs started supporting him. His playful personality emerged, and the frightened puppy we first met transformed into a happy, energetic little boy who finally had the chance to experience what every puppy deserves—a life filled with love.

Today, our hearts are overflowing with joy because Janrito has found his forever family! 🏡💙 A huge thank you to James, Dion, and Zac from Playa Tambor, Costa Rica, for opening your hearts and home to this very special little guy. We know Janrito’s future is bright, and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful family to continue his journey.

💓🐾💪🇨🇷
