Come stay with us in Uvita, Costa Rica, and make a positive impact on the lives of animals who need your care and compassion. With our Volunteer in Residence program you will stay in a modern room on the beautiful shelter grounds, help with the animals, and have one of the most transformative experiences of your life.

We’re looking for people with a love for cats and dogs; and, whether you’re a dog-person or cat-person, an open mind and a caring spirit are what matter most. Between working and playing with the spunky dogs and affectionate felines, you will have plenty of time to enjoy fun activities and the bountiful natural wonders close-by.
You can truly make a difference and have the best time of your life.
As a Volunteer in Residence you will work with an inspiring team of local and international volunteers who love and care for the animals as they wait for forever homes.
