About this animal protector
Centro de Rescate y Santuario Las Pumas cares for rescued wildlife near Cañas. Operated by Fundación Hagnauer, it separates rehabilitation for animals that may return to the wild from lifelong sanctuary care for those that cannot.
Services and ways to connect
The rescue process begins with an admission history and veterinary examination, followed by treatment, quarantine or specialized care for young animals. Animals preparing for release move to isolated forest enclosures where they regain essential survival behaviours with minimal human contact. This rehabilitation area is closed to visitors. The sanctuary instead provides long-term care and environmental enrichment, with educational visits explaining the residents' rescue stories. Its environmental education program combines an introductory talk, a guided visit and participatory activities. For group arrangements, contact laspumascr@gmail.com or +506 8479-7025 with the requested date, group size and visit time. The site is 4.5 km from Cañas toward Liberia.
