Health & vaccinations
Before travel, each dog receives the vaccinations and veterinary health checks required for entry through our partner Hospital Cavallini.
Travel & paperwork
We prepare the health certificate and export documents your country requires and help coordinate safe travel—including with pet-travel partners.
A smooth handoff
We stay in touch through arrival, so you and your new companion are set up for success.
How it works
1. Choose a dog—or tell us what you're looking for—and submit an adoption application.
2. We complete the vaccinations, health check, and travel documents.
3. Together we arrange the flight—with a travel partner, or as your in-cabin companion.
4. Welcome your rescue home.
Costs
The adoption fee is a donation toward the animal's prior veterinary care. International travel costs—flights, a travel crate, and export paperwork—vary by destination and airline. Contact us and we'll give you a current estimate for your city.
For U.S. supporters
Donations from the United States can be made tax-deductibly through our partner, Amigos of Costa Rica.
