Our mission
Animal Rescue, Veterinary Care, Adoptions & Foster Homes
Halfway Home Animal Shelter is a volunteer-based non-profit based in Playa Matapalo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. We provide timely rescue, veterinary care, and shelter to wildlife, domestic, and livestock animals that have been abused, injured, or abandoned—and we work to give every rescue a path back to health and a loving home.
We operate with the intent to give our rescues the support to adjust back to their natural habitat or find placement in a new home with adequate care. Halfway Home began because so many homeless and abused animals were brought to the local clinic that overcrowding reached crisis levels—and something had to change.
Today we're run entirely by volunteers and supported by donors and partners who believe every animal deserves a second chance.
