How can we help?

Providing the best care possible is our main priority

Animal Rescue

Respect for all forms of life is one of the most important pillars of society, although some lack this. We provide immediate attention to specific, urgent cases of animal cruelty, illegal breeding farms, and hoarding where the lives of animals are often at risk. Together with the country's government agencies, we protect more than 1,000 cases annually.

Veterinary Services

We provide veterinary care, consultations, x-rays, ultrasound, dental cleanings, vaccination, ultrasound, minor surgeries and major surgical procedures and individualized care according to the needs of your pet, which is our priority.

Shelter & Adoptions

Second chances. Each and every animal that has been violated, abused, and mistreated needs a second chance.... while we protect and care for these little ones... you and your family provide the second chances!!! Fill their hearts and give them the love and attention that was denied them in their past.

Spay & neuter

We put this..... low-cost castrations. Without a doubt, taking advantage of the low-cost neutralization packages is one of the advantages we offer you, in addition to the fact that with the surgery we avoid uterine infections, breast and prostate cancers, and a series of animals that would come to this world to suffer. Let us take responsibility for each pet and enjoy the years that they will accompany us without putting them at lethal risk or at unwanted or illegal pregnancies.

Asociación Humanitaria Para la Protección Animal (our animal shelter) is located in the mountains of San Rafael de Heredia, Costa Rica. Known locally as the Refugio, the shelter has been committed to helping animals in Costa Rica for over thirty years. Our mission is to better animals’ lives. We provide affordable services and resources to benefit Costa Rica’s animals. Thousands of companion animals are sterilized, vaccinated and helped every year and adoptions from AHPPA are now commonplace.

From our donors

"I met the great people at the animal shelter back in 2002. I have watched them give so much from themselves throughout the years that I decided to help them out by giving a monthly donation. I read the newsletter and feel that my donation helps achieve so much."

“Encontre un perro abandonado en la calle y con el ayudo medico de la buena gente en el refugio de animales pude darle el ayudo medico necesario y tambien darle comida y vacunarlo. Me ayudaron en los momentos dificiles y cuando puedo les visito para expresar mi agradicimiento."
“I simply believe that we should help great organizations that try to do good for animals, which cannot take care of themselves.
My small donation will go a long way and that makes me feel great. Keep up the good work AHPPA and you can count on my monthly donation!”
