Gracie

GRACIE - the gentle beauty

German Shepherd

female, spayed

About 5 years old

27 kg / 60 lbs

Vaccinated, dewormed, flea & tick prevention up to date

House trained

Friendly with dogs and people (cats can be tested if needed)

Doesn’t mind thunderstorms

Sweet-natured, playful with other dogs

Gracie was found wandering the streets, skinny, scruffy, and clearly neglected. She probably spent a lot of time on a chain and didn’t get enough to eat. With vet care, good food, and love, she has blossomed into the gorgeous, healthy dog she was meant to be.

She looks like a pure-bred German Shepherd of lighter color, with the most exquisite face that matches her kind personality.

Gracie walks nicely on leash, knows to sit and wait, and is fully house trained.

She loves playing with other dogs and would be happiest in a home with a playful dog friend. Because of her thick coat, she’d do best in a cooler area (not too hot or humid) and she needs a fenced yard, otherwise she may go exploring. She is fine with children, but her size and energy may be a bit much for toddlers.

Gracie’s elegant presence alone keeps strangers at bay, though she’s not a typical guard dog—she’s more likely to welcome people than scare them off.

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.

  • I found a stray dog / cat. Can you help me?

    For urgent cases, please refer to our Emergency Guidelines on the CONTACT PAGE.

    We are a small, volunteer-run organization with limited resources, but we do our best to help whenever possible. To report a stray animal or find more information, please visit our CONTACT PAGE.

  • I saw a dog / cat on social media up for adoption but can’t find it on the website.

    There are two possible reasons:

    1. We haven’t had time to upload the animal to the website, but it may still be available.

    2. The animal is in a foster-to-adopt trial or has already found a home. You’re still welcome to apply using our general adoption application. Then we can match you with a similar dog / cat.

  • Are you a officially registered non-profit organization?

    Yes! Charlies Angels Resque is officially registered under the legal name Asociación Charlie’s Angels CR, cédula jurídica 3-002-757592.

  • How are you funded?

    We rely entirely on donations from generous individuals and the occasional fundraising. Every contribution makes a big difference. For more informatiopn visit our DONATION PAGE

  • Are Donations Tax-Deductible?

    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.
