About Halfway Home Animal Rescue

Halfway Home is a grassroots animal rescue and veterinary clinic in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, working to contain the dog and cat overpopulation crisis in a country with roughly one million homeless dogs. They run adoption, foster, and volunteer programs alongside a full veterinary operation — all sustained by volunteers, donors, and kennel sponsors. Small operation, enormous impact.

The engagement
01

What we run

KC manages the website and the adoption application platform end-to-end — making sure every animal currently in the shelter shows up accurately on the site, and that adoption, foster, and volunteer applications flow cleanly into the team's day-to-day operations. The goal is simple: remove every ounce of friction between someone ready to help and the animal who needs them.

02

Why it matters to us

Our cat Tica came home from Halfway Home. She's the reason we started, and the reason we'll keep running the platform for them as long as they need it.

How you can help

Halfway Home survives on volunteers, foster families, adopters, and kennel sponsors. If you're in Costa Rica, visit — they're open every day, 8am–5pm. If you're not, a 6-month ($1,200) or 1-year ($2,500) kennel sponsorship keeps a rescue fed, vaccinated, and cared for until they find a home.
