“For me, rescuing animals is not a hobby, it’s not a fad, its a lifestyle. My purpose for living is to change the lives of animals in need —to give them hope, to give them love, to give them care— to give them the family they so deserve.”
– Karin Hoad, Founder of Animales de Asis Santuario
“When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul”
– Anthony Douglas Wilkens.

About us
ANIMALES DE ASIS IN COSTA RICA
Animales de Asis – Costa Rica is a private no kill sanctuary founded in 2000 with the capacity to shelter up to 200 dogs and cats, many of whom have been victims of animal abuse or cruelty, are senior animals or have special needs.
Ways to Help
Donate
We invite you to partner with us in our belief that every animal’s life matters. Your generous donation means the sanctuary can say “yes” when the phone rings telling them that another animal needs rescue and support. Thank you so much for your kindness!
Sponsor
Sponsorship is a unique opportunity to contribute to the well-being of a special needs or senior animal. Your monthly contribution will pay for such things as medical expenses, rehabilitative care, wheelchairs, medication, vet visits, food, and lodging….
Adopt
If you want to transform an animals life by giving it the gift of your love, your attention and a forever home, then adoption is for you . We host weekly adoption events at Combai Mall in Escazu and other locations.
Volunteer
We have many local volunteers who visit the sanctuary to lend a hand. Volunteers come individually and in groups as well. Schools, church groups, civic organizations, animal advocacy groups are frequent visitors to the shelter and their contributions are truly appreciated.
