Anita
small but mighty
Anita
Anita is a petite, soulful girl of about 2–3 years old, weighing around 5 kg (11 lbs) (she arrived a bit underweight and happily filled out with good care).
She has a beautiful balance of energy — medium to high when it’s time to play or explore, and perfectly content to relax and chill when her surroundings are calm.
She is extremely affectionate and forms a deep bond with her person, the kind of dog who wants to be close and connected.
Anita is also highly intelligent, with excellent recall, walks very nicely on leash, and is exceptional off leash. She is crate trained and comfortable spending the entire night on her own.
Earlier in her journey, Anita suffered a leg injury, and amputation was once considered. We are incredibly grateful we didn’t go that route — her leg healed beautifully. Today, Anita runs, plays, and jumps without limitations, living a full and happy life.
Anita would thrive in a home that appreciates her intelligence, loyalty, and loving nature, and that can offer calm guidance during new situations. She is a truly special little dog with so much devotion to give — ready to find her person and her forever home. 🐾✨
Did you know, we offer a Foster-to-Adopt Program
You can welcome Anita into your home for a 14–21 day trial period. If it’s a match, the adoption becomes official. If not, he returns safely to foster care.

FAQ
Where are you located / Is there a shelter I can visit?
We are a foster-based rescue, which means we operate without a shelter or office. Every animal we help is cared for in a foster home. Most of our fosters and volunteers are located in and around San Isidro de El General, Pérez Zeledón, in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica.
Can I visit the animals available for adoption?
Yes! Once your application is approved, we’ll coordinate a meet-and-greet with the foster home.
