NAC Mission Statement: Nosara Animal Care provides health benefits to all animals
whether destitute or cared for. Homeless, injured or sick animals are rehabilitated and
found loving homes. Our emphasis is on the education of the community to reduce unwanted
animals by spay and neutering, to improve the care of those in low income homes by
providing low cost health care, and to promote compassion for all animals


Nosara Animal Care is a non-profit association in Costa Rica, who through donations, provides
health care for homeless animals and for animals living with low income families who cannot afford
the high costs of veterinary medicine. We believe that every animal equally deserves quality care
from skilled and gentle veterinarians. We have an adoption program to help find homes for
rehabilitated street animals and for unwanted litters of puppies and kittens.

In order to provide the best care for these animals we first need to eliminate the cycle of
continual breeding and unwanted litters.
There just aren't enough good homes for all of them,
leaving many homeless and hungry in the streets. Once they have been spayed or neutered we can
direct closer attention to each one without being overwhelmed with the common problems of over
population.

Parasites and disease can cause great discomfort, be transmitted to humans or other
animals, and significantly interfere with the relationship between people and their pets.
Disease, or the presence of parasites on an animal can cause family and community members to
distance themselves physically and emotionally from them. Educating ourselves to recognise early
symptoms of disease and parasitic infestations can play a very important role in controlling the
problem, putting an end to needless suffering, and closing the gap between humans and animals.

We offer educational classes to the local schools to teach the children about responsible pet
ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the basic needs of an animal including;
regular vet care, nutrition, exercise, socialization, and respect for all living creatures. Seminars
are made available to provide information about both large and small animals and to expand
relations between the community, veterinarians, SENASA, and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Our goal is to raise enough donations to keep expanding our program to serve and educate
more of the surrounding towns of Nosara.
We are in the process of opening a full time clinic
and adoption center in downtown Nosara.
