ELSA
Elsa — the sweetest little shadow looking for her forever home
Meet Elsa, one of the gentle souls we found abandoned on the Cerro de la Muerte a few weeks ago. She’s a petite 7-kilo girl, around 10–12 months old, spayed, healthy, and fully up to date with vaccines and deworming.
Elsa is a soft, tender-hearted young dog who can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels safe she bonds quickly and becomes incredibly affectionate. With the people she trusts, she’s pure sweetness. She adores attention, loves cuddles, and is absolutely wonderful with children. Her calm nature makes her an easy companion for a family or someone looking for a gentle, loving little dog.
She’s house trained, well-behaved, and happiest when she can stay close to her humans.
Elsa is currently being fostered in Jacó and is ready to start the next chapter of her life. If you think this sweet girl might be the perfect match for your home, we’d love to hear from you.

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.

Unfortunately, we can't issue tax-deductible receipts for donations made to our Costa Rican Bank Account or PayPal.
However, we’re supported by Friends of Charlie’s Angels Costa Rica, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in the U.S. This allows U.S. donors to make tax-deductible contributions to support our rescue work in Costa Rica.
