Mission: Our mission is to end the daily killing of 11,000 dogs and cats in the U.S., and end the cycle of suffering for the 1 billion homeless strays that are born each year (to the 600 million stray dogs and 100 million stray cats around the world) - by developing species specific, permanent birth control dog and cat food - which is safe for the animals, safe for people and safe for the environment - food that will only need to be eaten one time to produce infertility.

As a volunteer, what amazes me about this organization is how they're turning the idea of 'food as medicine' into hope for millions of stray animals.
Instead of building more shelters or clinics, they're creating something as simple as a cookie that could change animal welfare forever.
It's refreshing to see a charity think so differently about solving such a huge problem.
The fact that they're working on something that could help animals even in places without vets makes me optimistic about the future.
This is exactly the kind of creative thinking we need to help animals worldwide.

Courageous. Extremely dedicated to ending cruelty to animals. Highly motivated. Hard-working. Willing to fight against the odds. Good-natured in spite of how painful this work can be. These are just a few of the qualities that Alex Pacheco has shown again and again as he continues decades of work to help animals.

Volunteering for 600 has been more difficult work than any job I have ever had. As a long-time volunteer and donor, I have seen firsthand how incredibly hard Alex and his team are working to achieve their ambitious, creative, very challenging goal of helping massive numbers of animals. They are doing this in spite of having very limited funds—a situation I hope will soon change, with support from people who care deeply about animals.

I support Alex and his team 100%. I am leaving them money in my will, in addition to giving what I can right now. Animals are suffering. Time is of the essence!

So many innocent animals around the world are being disposed of like trash, simply because people consider them pests. To stop this, 600 Million Dogs has taken on the incredibly difficult task of developing Better Birth Control for Animals. It is an unusual approach for an animal protection nonprofit group. But 600’s founder and president Alex Pacheco is a courageous pioneer of the animal rights movement who continues to forge ahead without a map, with an unwavering determination to save animals.

Being a long-time volunteer for 600 is the most difficult thing I have ever done. But I have the privilege of being part of the extremely hard-working team that is carrying out this challenging work on very limited funds. As a donor, I am giving as much money as I can afford each year, and I have included 600 Million Dogs in my will. I hope more people will join this effort so that the animals will benefit sooner, not later!

Discovering 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You through a close friend has truly opened my eyes to a revolutionary approach aimed at tackling the crisis of stray animal overpopulation. From the moment I delved into the organization's mission, I felt an undeniable urge to contribute in any capacity possible.

This initiative is a beacon of hope whose significance cannot be overstated. Not only does it promise to make a transformative impact on the lives of countless stray dogs and cats, but its ripple effect could extend to benefiting a myriad of other vulnerable animal species. The days of resorting to euthanasia as a means to address the issue of animal overpopulation could be replaced by an era of compassion, education, and sustainable solutions.

What resonates deeply with me is the sheer brilliance behind this idea. It's a comprehensive approach that not only addresses the immediate concerns of stray animals but also acknowledges the interconnectedness of all living beings in our ecosystem. It's a testament to human ingenuity and empathy that we can proactively address a crisis of this magnitude.

600 Million Stray Dogs Need You has tapped into an idea whose time has undeniably arrived. It's a refreshing departure from traditional methods, and it envisions a future where the well-being of animals is intricately woven into the fabric of our society. As I take my first steps in contributing to this cause, I am filled with hope and optimism that together, we can reshape the trajectory of animal welfare and forge a path toward a more harmonious coexistence.

I have followed the work and activism of Alex Pacheco, Founder,
600 Million Stray Dogs Need You, and believe deeply in their vision and commitment to helping stray animals everywhere. Our nonprofit GAIA and online magazine BeMagazine.org made the decision to underwrite a billboard to share this incredibly important work. Never before has there been such an opportunity to change and save animals' lives in this situation, but through the diligence of their work and research, they will do just that with (once fully developed and completed) Cookies (a pill basically) capable of spaying and neutering a dog or cat – without surgery.

We support this work, which is why we made the decision to sponsor a billboard to share the message and hopefully get other people and organizations to give, volunteer and share the story of how we can all make a difference for stray animals. Thank you Alex and everyone at 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You. Their website at 600Million.Org has the facts, but I'll share a few, because this issue affects us all... "Inhumane killing methods include:
beating to death, poisoning, hanging, electrocution, crushing dogs to death in garbage trucks, feeding dogs food laced with broken glass, causing the dogs to bleed to death . Painful human deaths from rabies and the suffering of stray dogs are directly connected.
The World Health Organization reports:
Globally, over 90% of all people who die from rabies receive the fatal infections from infected stray dogs. Every 15 minutes a child dies from rabies. Every month over 1 million people are treated for rabies. Every year at least 59,000 people, about half of whom are children, die from rabies."

Alex has been given the highest awards and recognition for his work, dedication and success by some of the most notable organizations, which include:
ALEX PACHECO
Founder, 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You
Animal Rights Hall of Fame, Inductee
Adopt A Pet, Co-Founder
PETA Co-Founder, Chairman (1980-2000)
Sea Shepherd , Crew Member of the Year
Peace Abbey, Courage of Conscience Award...And, I'm sure the list will continue...
We are grateful for his work and the work of 600 Million Dogs, and will continue to support them in any way we can. --Missy Crutchfield, Co-Founder / Co-Editor, BeMagazine.Org

I have seen first hand the misery of homeless dogs in India, Asia, Europe, North Africa and Mexico. THE BEST solution is the permanent birth control pill/food. It is a genius solution. It will even help the shelters by replacing the costlier and more invasive spay neuter surgeries currently used. I can hardly wait for it to be ready. I wholeheartedly support this organization.

It’s a good thing my idea of fun is crashing on the couch in front of the TV, because that’s all I have energy for after a long day of volunteering for 600 Million Dogs!

But I've always loved animals, and helping them is my life’s ambition. That’s why several years ago, I sought out the most remarkable animal activist I had ever met--600 Million Dogs president Alex Pacheco—and offered to volunteer. (My exact words were, “I’m not a COMPLETE idiot.”)

I’ve never looked back. Becoming a 600 volunteer and donor has been the most unique and rewarding experience of my life.

It’s my privilege to play some small role in this creative and ambitious mission to save stray animals by developing an oral, permanent alternative to spay/neuter surgery. I mean, it’s major surgery. Can’t we do better than this, for the animals’ sake? I think we can. I think 600 can.

Over 40 years ago, 600’s Alex Pacheco took the world by storm with his courageous, selfless, groundbreaking work for animals. I’ll never forget it. He continues to work incredibly hard, despite all obstacles. I hope many others will lend a hand so that 600 can accomplish its mission sooner rather than later.

I'm incredibly proud to be a volunteer and donor for 600 Million Dogs because it's led by one of the most effective animal activists of all time: Alex Pacheco. He has had GLOBAL IMPACT.

I first saw him in action helping animals years ago. He had many chances to choose an easy life. Again and again, he chose to help suffering animals instead. Through courage, tenacity, and selflessness, he succeeded where others never even tried.

Today, he continues to smash the rulebook. He's attacking a decades-old problem—companion animal overpopulation—in a new, creative way: by developing better birth control for stray dogs and cats. It's difficult because scientific work is very expensive, but if anyone can drive this critical project forward, it's Alex Pacheco.

This is just my opinion, but this is why I'm especially enthusiastic about this effort. I think most people hope for maximum lifespan (about 100 years), minimum pain and suffering, ending with a painless death. Dying prematurely is a bad thing. Some people say it has the benefit of reducing the population, but that's just an obsolete rationalization. Nobody wants to be the one who dies young of starvation. There is now a much more humane way of keeping population at sustainable levels: birth control. We just need to use it.

Human overpopulation results in suffering and premature death due to preventable disease, untreated injury, war, and starvation, among other problems. I believe birth control is an incredibly useful tool that could prevent a lot of this misery. Safe, reliable, inexpensive birth control should be available for anyone who wants it.

Unfortunately, human birth control hasn't progressed much since the revolutionary invention of the Pill about 60 years ago. It could be vastly improved, but some people fear that it will work too well. I believe these fears can be addressed by enforcing laws that prevent birth control from being used on people against their will. But if people refuse to improve human birth control, we can still improve animal birth control.

Stray animals die prematurely from many of the same things that people do: preventable disease, untreated injury, mass killings, and starvation. People have far fewer concerns about birth control for animals, so spay/neuter has caught on for dogs and cats, and it has been tremendously helpful in controlling the pet population in the U.S., where people can afford it.

But for strays around the world, surgical spay/neuter isn't making a dent. Catching and surgically spaying and neutering strays is labor-intensive, expensive, and requires the services of veterinarians. Development of a permanent, safe, inexpensive, easy-to-administer birth control product for dogs and cats is desperately needed, and that's what Pacheco is determined to do. It's an honor to be a part of this project.

600 Million Dogs is my number one nonprofit to which I donate monthly. They work
continuously to relieve lifelong suffering that the world's stray dogs and cat endure
24/7. 600 asks member to email, write letters, make phone calls and use
social media to contact those responsible for perpetrating harm to our fellow 4 legged friends.
I cannot imagine a more forward thinking nonprofit than 600 Million Dogs.

You know, if you never get around to doing a will, all your money will go to your family when you die—not to your friends, not a penny to animal protection groups, and you'd better have talked to a friend about taking in your 15 rescued iguanas. I never thought that paying a fancy estate lawyer to write up my will could make me happy, but it did. Before, I had a do-it-yourself will, but why leave something so important to chance? I wouldn't do that with plumbing or electric work on my house! I don't mean to sound like an ad for expensive lawyers, but now I'm confident that when I die, if I have any money left over, the percentage that I chose will go to my favorite animal groups. Number one on that list is 600 Million Dogs, founded and run by the phenomenal animal activist Alex Pacheco.

I tend to donate to groups that I've volunteered for, because I know and trust the people involved, and I've had the unforgettable experience of volunteering for 600 Million Dogs. Its team consists of intelligent, practical, resourceful people doing their best, day after day, to help animals in an unconventional and creative way, something few would attempt but makes perfect sense: using advances in medicine and technology to help animals. It's uncharted territory, but that is something Pacheco excels at, tenaciously plowing ahead without a road map, despite all obstacles.

This year, 2020, as COVID-19 ravages the human population, what do most people place their hopes on, aside from eating right and getting plenty of exercise? A vaccine and a treatment. We not only HOPE that medical science will end this tragedy, we EXPECT it. We're counting on it. Billions of dollars are being poured into scientific research to help us deal with this terrible disease.

In contrast, although pills, patches and other nonsurgical methods of birth control for humans have been around for decades, funding is really hard to come by when the goal is an inexpensive, nonsurgical, permanent form of birth control that's easy to administer to animals. Stray animals are suffering and dying around the world, and humans aren't even doing this on purpose. The animals are just innocent victims of uncontrolled overpopulation. So I think this is an area ripe for change. I wish I had a billion dollars to donate to 600 Million Dogs TODAY because, sadly, Alex Pacheco won't be around forever to lead the way.

I know people don't like to think about dying. But honestly, if I die tomorrow, I'll die happy knowing my affairs are in order and 600 Million Dogs will get at least some of the funding they need to complete the Spay/Neuter Cookie. It's not enough, but if others do the same, we just might win this battle for the animals.

That is one of the main reasons why 600 Million Dogs have my devoted support. Having known Alex Pacheco personally for many years I can attest to his integrity and devotion to his mission. He's like the snapping turtle that won't let go.

I’m a longtime volunteer and donor to 600 Million Dogs, and it’s absolutely my favorite, if-I-ever-win-the-lottery-my-money-is-going-to-you group. Why? Number one: 600’s leader, Alex Pacheco. In my book, he’s the guy who made the animal rights movement go viral. After that, he risked his safety and freedom for animals again and again, and it paid off: he changed the world for the better. If history has any sense, history will remember Alex Pacheco.
Number two: 60 years ago, oral birth control was shocking. People couldn’t believe it worked. Now it’s taken for granted. For animals, permanent birth control is what’s needed, but progress has been slow for economic reasons. True to form, Alex has seen a critical problem and focused on it, regardless of the odds, regardless of the consequences. It’s bad enough that people kill animals intentionally, for selfish reasons, but dogs and cats, supposedly the most beloved animals on earth, being killed in crude, painful ways, often just for getting in people’s way? Or left to suffer, starving, on the streets? We have to do better. How do you tackle such a huge problem without feeling overwhelmed? “Baby steps,” he says. He’s done it before. He has a way of creating order out of chaos--through innovation, determination, and hard work.
It would be easy to share our progress if we were a rescue or advocacy group. But we’re not, and we need to keep some information confidential until a final product is ready. Then we can roll out the cameras. Until then, I hope you’ll understand that we need to raise funds to pay scientists to do this work and that scientific advancement takes time. I hope you’ll have faith in Alex’s integrity so that in the long run, the animals will benefit, not big drug companies. And I hope you’ll remember that money doesn’t grow on trees and fundraising is not a crime. If you have $100 and you need $1,000 to pay the vet to save your dog, you need to raise the money somehow. It’s as simple as that.
I’m working harder for 600 than I ever worked for money, and it’s the experience of a lifetime. I hope you’ll check out what we can disclose about our science at https://www.600milliondogs.org/science-update and read about Alex’s accomplishments at https://www.600milliondogs.org/about-us Thanks!

As an employee of this incredible organization, I can attest to the fact that we are indeed working hard and making progress. As with all science based projects, it takes time but we are all dedicated to our cause, working hard to create a solution that will end the suffering.

In regards to the comment "no fool" made: I am hurt to see these uneducated comments. For instance, you cant "follow" an organization for 15 years that has only been around for 8. Instead of typing away your negativity about a person who has a 40 year track record for helping animals and his organization that is working tirelessly to bring an end of suffering of millions of dogs, perhaps you should do some research. Or better yet, maybe YOU can do something to make a difference.

I believe this is a scam. I have been following them for over 15 years, and they have come up with nothing. They send out news letters that say, "We're close to a formula." "We expect to have our cookie out in 18 months." "We have a formula that will work in just three doses." But then they have absolutely nothing. They do absolutely nothing. Dont be fooled, this is just about collecting donations to line their pockets. They have been making claims for many years and have not saved any animals at all.

Such amazing and groundbreaking work on behalf of the dog population on our planet. 600 Million Dogs and it’s founder, Alex Pacheco, are working tirelessly on a breakthrough solution to the overpopulation problem.

I fully support the life changing endeavor the 600MillionDogs.org is working on.

Developing a one dose birth control cookie to address the horrible crisis of overpopulation is the solution to this worldwide problem.

Based on Alex’s track record of historical victories for animals, I have full confidence that he will find the breakthrough and develop the compound in the form of a cookie that will END the suffering of millions of animals.

Please support this bold initiative to combat the heartbreaking suffering that so many dogs (and cats) endure.

With 40 years of experience in the animal rights movement, Alex has demonstrated passion and commitment that is unparalleled. I believe that he and his devoted team of scientists will uncover the complicated task of developing a spay/neuter formula that will be life changing.

More shelters are not the solution to the stray dog situation. Permanent birth control is. I believe that Pacheco is on to something big. Global. Lifesaving.

As an animal-lover, for some time now my philanthropy has been focused on www.600milliondogs.org. This group, the head of which co-founded PETA back in 1980, is putting together a biscuit which once consumed will immediately, permanently, and safely spay/neuter. Dogs and ultimately cats as well. One look at the You Tube videos of horrific animal suffering coming out of Romania and Greece and China and India and the Philippines and even first world countries can only convince that efficient spay/neuter is the ONLY solution to relentless breeding. Mother Nature is just too good at what she does.

Thank you - a solution is at hand!

600 Millions founder, Alex Pacheco, has been at the forefront of Big Ideas for decades - the Silver Spring monkey undercover expose, co-founding PETA. Now, with 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You he's there again. It may take time and some may dismiss the idea - but when the day comes that a simple pill can prevent reproduction and cause overpopulation to crash, countless dogs and cats will avoid a life of misery scavenging to survive (and those that profit off of expensive spay-neuter surgeries and others who make a buck "euthanizing" strays (11,000 a DAY in the US alone) will be forced to find a way news ways of making a living rather than off the backs of innocent animals.

I donate and volunteer to this group because I believe they have THE CURE for pet overpopulation. Founder, Alex Pacheco is a visionary who is fighting the good fight, every single day - relentlessly. This effort deserves far more support that it gets in my opinion. So many others stand to lose surgery fees, drug fees & future revenues when (not if) this effort succeeds, it's no wonder they are NOT supporting non-surgical sterilization. Instead this group seeks the cure, not for profit, but for the animals, to stop the suffering, to stop the needless deaths. No other motive. I hope advocates see this opportunity and help this group progress quickly, because every day is another day of suffering and death for animals worldwide, and the cure for that is so badly needed. The 600 team is beyond tenacious, and the cause is beyond worthy, I applaud them and help them every chance I get.

Millions of dogs suffer terribly because they are unwanted and homeless. They are euthanized in "shelters" and beaten in the streets. All this, because there are just too many of them-there aren't enough loving homes to handle the ever increasing populations, especially in rural locations where there aren't facilities or funds for spay/neuter. THE PROBLEM IS OVERWHELMING UNLESS IT IS STOPPED AT IT'S CORE. I'VE FELT SO HELPLESS FOR SO LONG BECAUSE I CAN'T HELP THEM ALL--600 MILLION IS A WAY TO DO JUST THAT. IT WILL STOP THE SUFFERING BEFORE IT BEGINS--THE ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!

600 Million Stray Dogs is a wonderful organization. Hopefully, thanks to their efforts, many fewer innocent animals will suffer horrible fates. Please support them generously.

I donate my time to 600 Million Dogs whenever I have the opportunity. Developing birth control dog food is a no brainer!

Upon learning about animal overpopulation all over the world, and the methods used to try to control it, I really like the humane solution that 600 Million has come up with. Not only can this be used to control stray colonies, it can also be in the shelters to replace costly sterilization surgery.

Having personally witnessed animal overpopulation issues first hand in many corners of the world there is no question in my mind about how critical a progressive solution like 600 Million is trying to implement really is to the problem. Traditional methods of population control simply don't work. 600 Million is working to prevent a massive amount of suffering and change the world for the better.

I found out about 600 million through my friend who volunteers for them. The more I follow the progress of the 600 mission, the more impressed I am. Solving the problem of the worldwide stray dog, and ultimately hopefully the feral cat population, has to start at the root of the issue which is reproduction. The plan to administer this birthcontrol through food is such a good solution. Creating and administering life long birth control /sterilization for strays will have a tremendous impact on reducing the feral population thereby reducing a huge amount of animal and human suffering. With each generation, the population should gradually decrease. Ongoing monitoring, awareness and education will hopefully essentially eradicate the cruel and ineffective measures currently being used. Alex Pacheco and his team of all volunteers are to be applauded for their vision and dedication to solving such a huge and heartbreaking world problem.

I volunteer for 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You because I firmly believe in it's mission to complete dog food formulas that will sterilize stray dogs. It's about saving the next generation of homeless dogs from suffering and from being killed. The team of volunteers is committed and I am confident in Alex Pacheco's ability to make this happen.

I have travelled around the world a lot and I was and still am very disturbed to see so many dogs and cats homeless. Being often emaciated and in bad health they live miserable lives on the streets. There are so many of them that the problem is out of control. The only answer to reduce their misery is to control their numbers and the only way to do this is to have a non surgical, cheap and safe way to sterilize the dogs and cats. When I found out about 600 I knew I found my calling. I have always wanted to do more for the street dogs after having rescued one myself off the beach in Aruba. This dog is one of 600 million! I am determined to help them out. I now volunteer for 600 and work with some very fine and hardworking animal lovers who are also all volunteers. Many hours are put into this project. The only thing I'm regretting is that the development of the sterilization formula isn't going fast enough. It takes time and money to make it happen. The more we have the faster we can move!

In my experience there are a lot of organizations that claim to be dedicated to improving the lives of animals but are often little more than PR machines designed to collect donations to support their high paid execs and needlessly expensive office space. 600 Million Stray Dogs actually has a workable plan that can end more unneeded suffering by animals than any other organization that I'm aware of. I'm also impressed by the fact that 600 is run by people with a genuine passion for ending the suffering of animals. All of the volunteers that I have met or spoken with have made great sacrifices to help make their plans a reality. If you are making a donation based on the bigger organizations that you may have sen in the news, find out what they are really doing and what they have done to help end the suffering of animals. Sadly, many of them have not done much other than cash your checks.

My husband and I think what 600 Million Dogs is doing for animals is fantastic and long overdue. Far too many dogs and cats are suffering needlessly and traditional methods of population control cannot keep up with reproduction. This is brilliant.

I've worked with them as a volunteer for over a year and find the work, the project and the people involved, to be very positive, exciting, and cost effective .... to say the least!
