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!

PLEASE SHARE! 🐾💗

Here they are — all 7 of Kira’s beautiful girl puppies in one collage.

Aren’t they absolutely adorable?

These girls are expected to grow into medium- to large-sized dogs. They are healthy, happy, playful, and very social, and they are now looking for their forever families.

They were born on August 16, 2026 and have already received their first puppy vaccination.

And because it’s rainy season and we currently have so many puppies looking for homes, we are offering a special adoption fee of ₡25,000 for everyone — Ticos and expats alike.

If one of these girls catches your eye, please fill out our adoption application first:

Hey, I am Kater 🩵🩵🩵 !

Kater is one of 11 puppies we rescued together with their mom Kira.

The puppies were born on August 16, 2026, and have been in the best hands ever since.

They are all chubby, healthy, happy, and very social.

They have already received their first puppy vaccination, and we expect them to grow into medium- to large-sized dogs, probably around 20–25 kg.

Whoever adopts one of these puppies agrees to continue the full puppy vaccination and immunization program and, once the puppy is old enough, neutering is mandatory as part of our adoption commitment.

We can discuss the costs for the neutering individually and figure out what works best. Just get in touch with us so we can talk through the details.

If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out our adoption application first. We have one application for expats and one for Ticos.
And because rainy season is always especially difficult for rescues, we currently have a Rainy Season Special: all adoptions are ₡25,000, whether you are Tico or expat.

Meet Kai 🧸

Kai is one of the handsome little boys from Kira’s litter, and he honestly looks like a tiny teddy bear.

He is almost 7 weeks old incredibly sweet, playful, affectionate, and simply a lovable little puppy.

We expect Kai to grow into a medium-large dog of around 20–25 kg / 44–55 lbs as an adult.

Kai has already received his first puppy vaccination, is super healthy, and has the most beautiful shiny coat.

📍 Fostered in Lagunas, close to Dominical

Whoever adopts Kai agrees to continue his complete puppy vaccination and immunization program and, once he is old enough, to have him neutered. This is part of our adoption commitment. (costs can be disused with our rescue)

Kai is ready to start meeting potential families and can’t wait to meet you 💕

If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out our adoption application first. We have one application for expats and one for Ticos.

MALAKI NEEDS A NEW HOME OR Temporary FOSTER UNTI MID November

His owner has to leave the country unexpectedly due to family emergency

Malaki is a sweet, loving 3-year-old tuxedo cat who is healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and completely up to date on all of his shots.

He is a very calm, easygoing cat who gets along well with other animals. He is curious and affectionate, loves having his head rubbed, and enjoys being picked up and cuddled.

He’s happy to sleep with you or curl up on his own and do his own thing. He sleeps a lot, but he also has a playful side and loves exploring his surroundings.

He is very well behaved, doesn’t destroy things, uses his litter box, and is a quiet cat who rarely meows. He’s a wonderful family cat and would be happy in a home where he can feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

He will come with his toys and food.

Meet Kat aka Caterpillar :))

- born Aug 16th
- 3 kilos at 6 weeks old
- adult weight around 25 kg
- had first puppy vaccination
📍 fostered in Santa Elena (Perez Zeledon)

Little chubby Kat is definitely the most Shar-Pei-looking puppy in Kira’s litter.

Of course, without a DNA test we can’t know for sure, but Kat and Kiki definitely show some very strong Shar-Pei traits... and there happens to be an un-neutered Shar-Pei living in the neighborhood where Kira came from.

And here’s something many people don’t realize: puppies from the same litter can actually have different fathers. If a female dog mates with several males during her fertile period, more than one male can father puppies in the same litter.

Kat and Kiki also have quite the confident, strong little personalities.

Because of their Shar-Pei-type features, we would especially love to see them adopted somewhere in a cooler part of Costa Rica, ideally at a higher elevation.

Dogs with this type of skin and coat can be more prone to skin problems in very hot and humid conditions, so a cooler climate would be a great fit.

Hopefully that is exactly where Kat — and maybe Kiki too — will end up. ❤️

If you are interested in adopting Kat, Kiki, or one of their siblings, -> everybody has to fill out our adoption application first.

This is mandatory for every adoption and helps us make sure each puppy goes to the right home.

And because it is rainy season and we currently have so many puppies looking for homes, we are offering a special rainy-season adoption fee of ₡25,000**.
If you are an expat and the regular expat adoption fee is difficult for you right now, **₡25,000 is absolutely fine**. What matters most to us is finding responsible, loving, permanent homes for these puppies.

As always, spaying/neutering at the appropriate age is part of the adoption commitment. (we can helo with costs!)

🐾 KIRA’S PUPPIES ARE READY FOR ADOPTION APPLICATIONS🐾

11 ADORABLE MEDIUM to LARGE SIZE PUPPIES

📍📍📍 FOSTERED near SAN ISIDRO & DOMINICAL

This weekend we visited both foster homes where Kira’s puppies have been growing up, and what an absolute delight it was to see them all.🩷🩷🩷

Born on August 16, they are now exactly 6 weeks old.

All 11 puppies are beautiful, chubby, fluffy, social, playful, wonderfully goofy, and simply a joy to be around.
They all have fantastic appetites and are now completely weaned and eating puppy food on their own.

Their current weights range from 2.3 kg to 3.4 kg (5.1–7.5 lbs). Based on their size and build, we expect them to grow into medium-to-large dogs, roughly 18–28 kg / 40–62 lbs as adults (of course this is only an estimate.)

They have all received their first vaccination, and the vet was VERY happy to see how healthy and well-developed they are. 🙏🏼

Everyone also had their little nails trimmed, and we are officially ready to start receiving adoption applications.

By the time applications are reviewed, adopters are selected, and everything is organized, the puppies will be ready to leave the nest... YAY!

🌧️ **RAINY SEASON SPECIAL: If you are an expat living in Costa Rica and would like to adopt one of these puppies but the regular adoption fee is difficult for you right now, please talk to us. For these puppies, we are happy to offer the Tico adoption rate of ₡25,000.

Please also keep in mind that adopting a puppy comes with some important responsibilities.
Once the puppy is old enough, spaying / neutering is mandatory, Charlie’s Angels can help with the cost.

Adopters must also continue the puppy’s deworming and vaccination program until the full puppy vaccination series has been completed and proper immunity has been established.

**Adoption application links are below.**

These babies will grow into substantial dogs and need families ready for training, exercise, veterinary care, patience, and many years of love.

A very special shout-out to their wonderful foster moms, Melanie and Sandra, who have done an exceptional job raising these babies. Many people cannot imagine just how much work goes into bottle-feeding puppies, successfully weaning them, constantly cleaning up after an entire litter, and feeding them four times every single day. We are incredibly grateful for all the time, patience, care, and love they have poured into these little ones.

MEET LIZZIE 🤍💕

Female | About 2 years old | 7 kg / 15 lbs | Spayed | Fully vet checked | Low-energy | Dog-friendly | Crate trained | Rarely barks | Excellent on leash | no separation anxiety

📍 Fostered in RIVAS / Perez Zeledon (we can assist with transport logistics to you)

More about Lizzy and adoption application: https://www.charlies-angels-rescue.org/dogs-for-adoption/lizzie

LIZZIE’s STORY:

Lizzie was dropped off with her puppies at a pet shop in downtown San Isidro, where they were sitting crammed in a cage, essentially up for grabs. :(
Her puppies were taken quickly, but mama was left behind and ended up spending her days chained outside, waiting for someone to notice her.
We noticed.

She wasn’t spayed or vet checked and was very scared, with no idea what was happening.

We moved her into a loving foster home, where Lizzie has completely blossomed. She is deeply devoted to her person, gentle, affectionate, calm and incredibly sweet.

She loves her walks, enrichment games, snuffle mats and little food puzzles. She is very smart, so this kind of mental stimulation is especially important for her.

Lizzie loves her crate — it is her safe space, and she will often simply retreat there and relax.

She has no separation anxiety and can comfortably be left alone for several hours.

Lizzie can be a little shy when first meeting new dogs, but once she feels comfortable, she becomes very playful and social.

IDEAL HOME:
We can imagine Lizzie being absolutely perfect for someone looking for a peaceful, deeply devoted companion — perhaps even an older person or couple who enjoys walks, nature and a quieter lifestyle. We would especially love to see her in a home with a calm, confident dog she can look up to.

She is sensitive and does best with gentle handling and a calmer environment rather than a busy city.

Lizzie has already come such a long way.

Now she just needs the right person — and ideally the right canine friend — to give her the safe, loving home she deserves.

📍 Located in Rivas, Pérez Zeledón

We can help coordinate transport.

Please complete our non-binding adoption application if you would like to give Billie the safe and happy life she deserves.

MORE ON ROSA + ADOPTION APPLICATION:
https://www.charlies-angels-rescue.org/dogs-for-adoption/rosa

Rosa appeared completely out of nowhere at a super remote home high in the mountains above Rivas. It get’s freezing cold up there at night…
We have no idea who she got there, but she had found herself a little hiding place underneath the house…

The family living at the house gave her time and patience, slowly allowing her to become comfortable enough for them to get closer to her.
Rosa is a little shy girl…not aggressive at all... she is simply a sensitive girl who needs a little time to feel safe.

With their help, we were eventually able to bring her into foster care before the family moved away. It was really last minute, she was about to get into heat.

Since then, Rosa has come such a long way….🌸
She loves her foster home, has become very attached to her foster mom, and absolutely adores Penny, another Charlie’s Angels rescue dog staying in the same home.

She enjoys playing with Penny and the other dogs and, according to her foster mom, she especially loves sleeping in the bed.

Rosa is a sweet, independent little dog who gets along well with both dogs and cats. (We do not yet know how she is with children.)

She can still be a little shy with new people, so her future adopter should be patient and give her the time she needs to settle in and build trust.

A securely fenced property is important for Rosa.

She is now ready for a loving, stable home where she can continue gaining confidence and become part of a family of her own.
