The Shelter was created on 2010 to help any wild life animal in need, over the years, our non profit organization grew and in 2023 finished building  a beautiful housing volunteer option.

House Ewa; it is a modern construction where volunteers will find a beautiful space to live throughout their Volunteer Experience in the Shelter premises.

The project offers the opportunity to learn and help make a positive impact on the animals under our care. Lots of orphan babies come in daily, and they need lots of cares, and time to grow; animals like baby sloths take several months to be ready to go back into the wild, and it is in tasks like this where we need your help and hands. The rescue center is not the only place that needs help, as we also have more than 250 animals that for health reasons can not go back to the wild, and that deserve the best cares and love; this are our Ambassadors of Education in our Guided Tour through the shelter trails.

The organization also built a Veterinary Clinic and a Restaurant, all in the same property, making this a very complete project and a great option to learn and help a truly great mission, to save animals and free them back where they belong. 

We speak English and Spanish.

J’ai passé 1 semaine incroyable au sein du Refugio Animal de Costa Rica. Tout d’abord, nous sommes au plus près des animaux. Les tâches sont variées car nous sommes en petit comité. Nous pouvons prendre soin d’un grand nombre d’animaux, comme par exemple nourrir des paresseux, des ...

You can take care for rehabilitated wild animals, including sloths, common potoos, roadside hawks, toucans, macaws, deer, capuchin monkeys, iguanas, and more. Each species requires a unique nutrition combination, and I was fascinated by the diverse needs of these ...

Volunteering at the shelter really exceeded all my expectations. A couple of things worth highlighting: 1) People (employees of the shelter) - super friendly and helpful, but most importantly very commtted to their work and the animals, which really inspires. Care about every animal and really know ...
