  • Growing Together, Giving Together

    Since our start in 2004, our mission has been to rescue, rehabilitate, and release Costa Rica’s wildlife. As a grassroots, charity-funded organization that started on our founder’s porch, we have grown so much in such a short time.

  • GIVE for #GivingTuesday 2021

    We care for over 200 animals and nearly 50 species of wildlife. That means we have to feed all of the animals constantly. What do the animals love the most? Papaya, of course! Toucan Rescue Ranch goes through nearly 1-ton of papaya in JUST one week. This doesn’t include the various fruits and vegetables that we also provide in our diversified animal diets. Did you know that Toucan Rescue Ranch spends $42,000 each year on JUST papaya?! How wild is that?
