PATA was founded in April 2019 and is run by Sally Ella Horn and Emma Martinelli.

 

Our organisation is an officially registered non-profit in Costa Rica. However we receive no Government funding and rely on your generous support to keep running. 

 

WHAT WE DO: 

 

- Run a dog refuge where abandoned, sick and neglected dogs are cared for and nursed back to health.

- Organize foster care for abandoned and sick cats and kittens.

- Arrange adoptions into responsible forever homes.

- Work with other rescue organisations to fly our dogs to their new homes in the US and Canada.

- Subsidize low cost spay and neuter opportunities.

- Trap, castrate and release street cats to help control the population.

- Report cases of neglect and abuse to the authorities.
