What it says it does

Our mission is to spay and neuter as many dogs and cats as possible on the Baja California peninsula by bringing high-quality surgical teams and equipment into communities in need. Phase I of our 3-phase approach prioritizes underserved communities with populations of less than 15k people. Phase II will focus on population centers with 15-30k people, while continuing to provide assistance to the communities of Phase I. Phase III will address the spay and neuter needs of all the cities on the peninsula.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $97,815 spent. Since our founding in June 2024 weve done 5,887 no-cost spay and nueter surgeries in pop-up clinics across Baja California Sur. So far in 2026 weve done 2,190 surgeries and we have many more to go. From concept to reality, we launched the Ultra-Mobile clinic in just 6 short months. Since November 2025, weve completed 2,800 sterilizations (averaging 700 surgeries monthly) - an incredible pace of impact.
  2. As one of just three NGOs on Mulegs Pro Animal Committee, we hold a seat at the table in Mexicos largest municipality, driving meaningful change for animals at the highest local level. Weve partnered directly with the Secretaria de Salud on spay and neuter clinics- an exceptional collaboration that breaks barriers between public health and NGOs.
  3. We made history as presenters at the first-ever animal rights conference held in the municipality of Muleg, helping to spark a new conversation about animal welfare in our region. We created a coloring book for 4 to 7 year olds, helping them learn how to care for their pets in a fun and engaging way. We are currently in development for a book geared towards 8-12 year olds, with the intention of having it shared in classrooms statewide.
