I love this story!! Keep up the good work and thank you for your loving hearts. What a difference you are making in the lives of these extraordinary creatures. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi

It would be great to be able to see the dogs available on line. Do you have more photos. Cut dog on this page…

I live in Santa Rosa de Santa Cruz, and just lost my beloved German Shepherd, Gomer, to an idiot racing his 4X4 on the beach in Brasilito. I live alone and have 1500 meters of enclosed property, and have the willingness/ability to care for one-or-more of your residents. You can email me or call 2652-9017.

This is not a “no kill shelter”, please visit them often. and check their numbers. It is mathmatically impossible that they do what they claim. They are very profitable business and demand money for any animal brought to them. This is a shelter for profit, not for animal welfare. Please check them out before you leave a pet or an abandoned animal with them – the animals do not deserve to go to this ” shelter “. Please ask around.

That isn’t true they ask for a donation when you bring a dog to them. My uncle went and he didn’t have any money and they took the dog anyways. What they might do is let the dog back into the streets cause there are a lot of stray dogs in Costa Rica. I live near this animal shelter and I recently adopted a puppy.

we are looking for a baby cat tail white the mouth white white,paws white.rest of body black.brown or blue eyes.

hello,

Is there any possibility to work for some days in the animal Shelter?
I am in Costa Rica right now and really want to help the dogs!

Please write back soon!

My friend lost his beloved golden retriever/lab mix a while back. I am trying to help him find a similar dog to adopt. Any dogs like this available? We are in Puerto Viejo, but will travel.

Jan.11 2011.I have a beautiful loyal and very well manered 6 yr old American Stafford, gets along well with other dogs and people. He is up to date with his shots, and in great health I am leaving costa rica at the end of this month and would like a caring person to adopt him. write me at silkiejohnson2k@yahoo.com

I would like to say that I have adopted more than 10 animals from the animal shelter, and I have come to know Lilian Schmog very well and count her a friend. She has dedicated her life to helping animals and to educating the Costa Rican public who were and still are in many ways the most uncaring people when it come’s to caring for animals, with the use of herbacides for poisoning animals to die in agony, leaving animals to find food in the streets, leaving them to rot along the road when they are killed etc.

I challange anyone to find better vetranary care & or facilities in this country and at prices that bairly pay the wages of the employees. I have had dog’s poisoned several times and the people worked for hours to successfuly save them, I have had dog’s snake bit, run over on purpose by drivers that were sved at the clinic. I must say that I love animals mre than a lot of humans and I drive for an hour to go to the clinic and Lillian and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

I am the volunteer president of the AHPPA.
AHPPA has the animalshelter and an animal hospital on their facilites. This year we will be helping animals for 20 year. Our main go is to neuter the animals in Costa Rica there still are too many unwanted dogs/cats roaming the streets. Our hospital neuters appr. between 40 and 50 animals per day. In May we started doing our rural animal neuter poject. Thanks to Humane Society International and Linda Wallace.
We are very proud to say that we did from the end of May 2011until the end of July 2011 882 dogs/cats. Our neuter programs are in the distand comunity were there are no vets availabel. All our animals are neutered before adopted.
Our neuter programs are a no/lo cost. Anybody can have their animal fixed with or without paying. We have struggled for 20 years and we keep on fighting, we can help more with your help! No donation is too small! visit our website.

Hello,

My wife is looking for two dalmatian dogs she entrusted to a finca when we left Costa Rica two years ago. As the new owner remains rather vague about their whereabouts and condition, my wife is distressed the dogs may have been discarded and ended up at an animal shelter. Heredia is a distinct possibility. Knowing your reputation we sure would welcome it.
Sincere thanks for any information.
