JOANNA
Meet Joanna
Joanna is a 2 year old sweetheart weighing just 13 kg (29 lbs)—the perfect medium size for cuddles, car rides, and everything in between. She’s house trained, has great manners, and is a joy to have around.
She has a medium energy level, enjoys walks and playtime with other dogs, but is just as happy to settle in for snuggles and kisses. Joanna sleeps through the night in her dog bed, doesn’t chew on things, and shows no separation anxiety.
She’s learning basic commands and already knows “sit” and “stay.” She walks on leash with a little pulling (still learning!), and while she’s not a big barker, she’ll alert you if someone’s around. She also loves car rides and being close to her humans.
Joanna is a healthy, affectionate dog who’s ready for a loving home.
Her past? She came from a filthy backyard behind a car wash, where she was kept tied up and left in poor conditions. We rescued her just in time—right before she went into heat—and promised her a better life. Today, she’s thriving and fully ready for her forever family.

FAQ
Where are you located / Is there a shelter I can visit?
We are a foster-based rescue, which means we work without a shelter facility 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.

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?

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.
