Every Life Matters —
You Can Be the Reason
They Survive

On the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, abandoned and injured animals face a daily battle to survive. No shelters. No government safety net. For most of them, Osa Rescue is their only chance.

The Hard Truth

Running This Rescue Costs Real Money

There are days when we have to say no — not because we don’t care, but because the resources simply aren’t there. Every week brings new emergencies, and every emergency has a cost.

$3,000
needed every single month

This covers the essentials that keep the rescue running:

  • Veterinary bills and emergency surgeries
  • 15+ spays & neuters in our monthly castration clinics
  • Food and daily care for 25+ animals
  • Medication and parasite treatments
  • Transport to clinics and adoption flights
  • Rescue Manager Yamilet’s salary
  • Shelter operating costs

There is no guaranteed funding. Everything depends on donations. Everything.
