We are a 501c3 non-profit dog rescue based in Tucson, AZ We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abused, abandoned, and neglected street dogs from Mexico. We believe in making the world a better place, one dog at a time.
Our primary rescue partner is Vidas Con Causa, based in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, which is currently is home to over 200 dogs. We work closely with the directors of this shelter to help provide veterinary care, food, and and a loving, safe place for abused, neglected, and abandoned dogs to heal. Although not all dogs are good candidates for adoption, for those who are, we actively work to find fosters for them in southern Arizona. For most of these dogs, this is the first time they have ever lived in a home, which means they can take longer to adjust and be ready for adoption. When they are ready, however, we work to find the perfect homes for them, which can be in Arizona or as far flung as Montreal, Canada!
We provide medical care and help special needs dogs
The life of a street dog is incredibly tough. Many animals are abused on the streets, and at Paws Without Borders, we will never look away from these animals, we will ALWAYS try to help them, even if the best thing is to humanely euthanize them to end their suffering. We have helped amputees, paralyzed dogs, pregnant moms who need c-sections to deliver, dogs who have been horrifically sexually abused and whose bodies are ravaged and souls crushed, dogs with transmissible venereal tumors (TVT), mange, severe malnutrition, poisoning victims...and the list goes on. We provide round-the-clock care until these dogs are healed and recovered. If appropriate, we work to find them forever families in Mexico, the US, or Canada.
We fund spay and neuter clinics
Did you know that 2 unaltered animals, over 6 years, can result in approximately 66,000 animals??!! There is NO WAY we are going to adopt ourselves out of the overpopulation of animals, which is why a major part of our work is funding and organizing spay and neuter clinics in the communities we help in Mexico. To date we have helped spay/neuter over 500 animals...and we hope to do much more of this in the future!
We are 100% volunteer based and rely on donations
