Compassion Without Borders

Funded 2017, 2023, 2024

Compassion Without Borders brings brighter futures to animals in need. They rescue homeless dogs in Mexico; operate a rescue facility, Muttopia, in Northern California; and provide free veterinary, wellness, and spay/neuter clinics in underserved communities on both sides of the border. They serve communities with high poverty rates where people and animals are most at risk. By addressing the needs of animals and people through sheltering and mobile clinics, they keep pets with their loving guardians and prevent dogs from being surrendered to shelters.

Chocolata is a beautiful girl who came to Compassion Without Borders with a severely fractured front leg. The pain was constant for this 10-year-old terrier mix, and she couldn't use her leg at all. She underwent surgery to remove the leg and did amazingly well under the careful watch of the medical team. Quickly, Chocolata was up and moving around like a champ, preparing to find her forever home. Compassion Without Borders will use this grant to help more senior dogs like Chocolata get adopted by providing medical and dental care, waiving adoption fees, promoting available senior dogs on social media, and assisting adopters with ongoing preventative care for their new best friends.
