We are located in Guanacaste, the west coast of Costa Rica; we started operations by helping local families to neuter and help their animals, and rescuing as many stray animals we could bring home and try to find forever families; but everyday there are more and more wandering souls in need of us. That's the reason we are creating the Pura Vida Sanctuary, a safe paradise for those animals that deserve a chance to be loved and the humans that will make them feel home while we try to relocate them with loving people.
