International Dog Rescue

Since 2001, Compassion Without Borders, has been coordinating an international rescue from Mexico to Northern California. To date, we have saved the lives of hundreds of dogs. The rescue is a collaborative effort between Compassion without Borders and our partner organizations.

The rescue began from the Refugio Fransicano, a large no-kill shelter in Mexico City that houses approximately 2,000 animals. Since then, we have expended the effort to include dogs from animal control centers in Juarez, Mexico - where Compassion without Borders is currently working on citywide humane reform.

We select friendly, adoptable dogs from these locations and hen bring them back to California for a temporary quarantine at Animal Place, a local sanctuary, before they are adopted out into safe, loving, permanent homes via various rescue organizations and local shelters.
