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.
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.
Every Single Day, Without Fail
Behind every rescue is a long journey. Here is what your donation makes possible:
Emergency Rescues
Street pickups of injured, sick, and abandoned animals — often in remote jungle terrain.
Veterinary Care
Full medical treatment including surgeries, blood tests, vaccines, and parasite control.
Spay & Neuter
Community castration clinics that address the root cause of overpopulation on the peninsula.
Foster Homes
Up to 10 animals at a time placed in loving foster care while they recover and await adoption.
International Adoptions
Coordinating flights and placements so rescued animals find forever homes around the world.
Rehabilitation
Extended recovery care — physical and behavioral — so each animal is truly ready for a new life.
