I've been a supporter of this org for a number of years now and will continue to support them. The org seems to be run efficiently, they get a lot of deeply needed work done and seem very committed to continuing their work. I'm also a lucky companion to two super sweet dogs that I adopted through CWOB. Anytime I learn of anyone who is looking for a dog to add to their family I always recommend that they check with CWOB to learn when their next rescue trip will take place. Thanks CWOB, keep up the wonderful work.
I was fortunate enough to work with CWB on a business matter, and I got to know the staff well. I also toured their facility and became familiar with the work they do. These folks are the real deal when it comes to animal rescue. The founders have such great passion for their mission to rescue and rehome animals on both sides of our southern border. CWB takes on the truly challenging cases that a lot of rescues might not, and they succeed in reshaping the lives of the animals in their care. I cannot say enough good things about this group.
As a volunteer in the local humane society I saw first hand the wonderful work this rescue has done. Helping the local underserved community to get veterinary care and providing a safe place for unwanted and mistreated animals to land, The pictures and stories of their many before and after rescues are very heartwarming and give one a feeling of hope.
I was in california visiting and I was brought onto the property and got to visit with all of the puppies and they are so well taken care of and so very loved, you can tell that everyone work that works there has their whole heart in it. I am forever blessed and grateful. That I got to be a part of that organization for a day. Thank you lynn bowers for giving me a grand tour. You guys rock!!!!
I have been a volunteer for the better part of a decade and couldn’t be more impressed with this nonprofit. From the very top down, they are the best people doing the best work possible for animals.
I can't praise this shelter highly enough. For them, compassion truly has no borders. Simply said, they save lives and educate people in the process.
CWOB has been doing an amazing job teaching compassion for all living beings for years. Their work across borders has benefitted hundreds of animals and people alike through rescue work, veterinary care and education.
I started fostering for this organization seven months ago. I am truly impressed with the incredible care and love they give these animals. Their adoption policy is unbelievable as a animal can be returned at any time and Compassion without Borders will take it in and find it another home. They also do excellent job matching dog to its family.
Amazing rescue that truly cares about the animals they are saving. They don't just pass these animals along to the next person, they train them, make sure they're healthy and give them so much love.
I volunteered for many years and I am overwhelmed by all the wonderful things they do for people that love their pets. People are willing to spend several hours outside in the cold to get quality care for their pets. They provide everything to keep pet’s healthy, happy. I drive over an hour to give support to an organization that does so much for people that don’t have much but love their pets.
Compassion Without Borders transforms the lives of thousands and thousands of dogs, literally rescuing and saving dogs that are injured, suffering, hungry and homeless, and dying on the streets— to lives that are healthy, thriving, free of pain, and happy. Their work is full of human commitment, hard work, with the most committed people ever that never give up. I have watched these dogs’ lives transform, one by one, before my eyes, as I am a volunteer. These Committed people work very hard to find loving forever homes for each and every dog, fulfilling the circle of compassion.
In spring of 2021 I was finally in a situation where I could bring a dog into my life. I zeroed in on Compassion Without Borders because I love their mission, commitment to the communities they serve, and the pure love each and every employee and volunteer shares with the pups they rescue.
I can’t even imagine my life without Sawyer, who would not be with me if not for Compassion Without Borders ❤️
Compassion tells a story. Not everyone can show compassion for injured, abandoned or broken animals. The fact that many dogs are in the condition they are in emphasizes this point. Compassion Without Borders take these beautiful creatures and heals them. Builds up their trust again in people and let's them become the dog they were meant to be. CWOB gives unconditionally and the reward is unconditional love back.
Compassion Without Borders is truly an amazing organization!! They make miracles happen for animals in Mexico and here in the US. Their compassion knows no borders. Many animals would continue suffering if it wasn’t for this amazing organization!
CWOB is the most compassionate, dedicated, caring and committed organization I have ever been associated with. They live their values and it is obvious in the animals they rescue and in the people that work and volunteer there. Such heart!
Compassion without borders and a great organization. They have helped me many times with my dogs. They make a big difference in every community they enter. Their compassion has no borders. I am very thankful and grateful to have them in my life!

Dr Camblor and her family and crew of volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of many animals and people.
This is a wonderful organization. They run Clinica La Esperanza, here in Puerto Peñasco, MX. This clinic gets sick dogs and cats, off of the streets, treats them, sterilizes them and get them healthy enough for adoption to their forever families. They also sterilize and vet animals brought in by the residents of Peñasco, so these animals can live better lives. Their compassion for animals of all kinds is inspirational. It is through this clinic and with the help of one of their volunteers, that we adopted our puppy, Dinga, who is now three years of age and the joy of our lives. We will be forever grateful to this organization for all of the endless work they do, to help our community with its problem of homeless, sick and medically untreated animals.
Just an amazing team of angels!! So many animals rescued off the streets and now living the lives they were meant to love fur-ever. ❤️
I have been blessed with an amazing dog that was recused from the meat market in China. If not for Compassion Without Borders, my sweet boy would not be alive today. He became a little brother to our Border Collie, who missed her recently departed bubba, Wyatt. CWOB does such great work saving as many dogs in crisis they can. I am honored to support their work. By donating to them, you can see where every dollar goes, unlike most charities. We can see the results of their work on each grateful face they rescue. In my opinion, there is no better way too spend your money. The CWOB people are some of the finest humans on this planet. 5 stars is not nearly enough!!
This organization sets a gold standard for generosity and compassion. Their caring proves that all lives are precious.
Helping pets and their people on both sides of the border with free and low cost medical help and spay/neuter services.
Compassion Without Borders is a team of passionate, dedicated staff and volunteers who are making a change for the better in the world of the animal welfare.
Compassion Without Borders (CWOB) Rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes dogs (and sometimes cats or other species) from some of the most impoverished places in the Americas.
They implemented humane euthanasia for the dogs that could not be saved. They established a free spay and neuter clinic in Mexico, and treat and vaccinate hundreds of dogs a year. They set up a nursery for nursing mothers and puppies to keep them safely off the streets.
CWOB also provides low cost veterinarian care to low income residents in Sonoma. They work with partner organizations in California, and are instrumental in rescuing unwanted chihuahuas from the Central Valley and transporting them to Minneapolis, where they are in high demand because of their small size and adaptability to apartment living.
Over the years, I have fostered many of their dogs. I adopted one that I had fostered with special needs. The minute he was brought to my home, I knew he was going to stay. I had excellent support from them during his treatment
My life, as well as the animals they rescue, has been enriched by them.
I volunteer with several animal rescue groups, and I am so impressed with CWOB's commitment, caring, and compassion for both the animals and people they help. Their team goes above and beyond to help people understand how they can properly care for the animals they love, the importance of spay/neuter, and how vet care can be within reach in emergencies. All without judgement of any kind. Even as they take in strays with no homes, they help spread the message that if people see an animal in need, they can stop and get help for that animal instead of ignoring it. I adopted a lovely CWOB dog, and also foster moms and puppies, and the CWOB team has assisted with every question and concern, even organizing events so we adopters can "show off" our precious pups.
This is one of the Best nonprofits that help animals. Their rescue stories are heart-rending and inspiring . They never quit.
I live in Fresno California. Compassion without Borders has saved so many of our dogs! They are non stop relentless rescuers. I have seen them take dogs with the worst medical conditions you can imagine. Months later, they post a picture after the dog has been medically treated and fostered and they look beautiful, happy and loved. Amazing rescue!
Compassion without Boarders is exactly what its name says it is. Rescuing dogs in Mexico and from high kill shelters in California, providing free or low cost spay and neuter clinics , free mobile clinics to our most underserved communities, visiting homeless encampments offering kindness, food and medical attention to our unsheltered community. Their work reminds me to always bring compassion rather than judgement. Because compassion is the answer.
I adopted a kind of unknown medical nine month old pup from CWOB. They were great every step of the way and also supported us Emotionally and logistically through my adopted dogs diagnosis of sharpei fever, two heart conditions, and severe allergies. They were always determined to help me be able to keep Claudia in her forever home with me. A year and a half later we are still in touch and I have done afternoon fosters with my pup And CWoB dogs who are still waiting for their homes. It is an awesome organization that deeply cares about their animals and the humans who care for them. Their Covid safety protocol Has been strict and well thought out and shared with volunteers every step of the way to remain transparent. Overall a stellar group of humans rescuing very special dogs. I couldn’t have imagined a better rescue to support.
Every time I see the photos of animals in such dire conditions, I break down in tears, my heart breaks. And then I read that COMPASSION WITHOUT BORDERS is there to the rescue and I rejoice. They go beyond efforts imaginable to get these little helpless creatures all the help they need to have a decent life and to live with love in a safe home. I love them for that. I wish I was a millionaire so I could contribute lots to their efforts.
We got our sweet Lulu from CWOB. She was surrendered to them with puppies and a hurt eye. CWOB took them all in and healed Lulu’s eye. Lulu is the sweetest dog and we love being her forever family. CWOB is taking action and giving all these dogs a chance at a wonderful life! Thank you CWOB! You guys are all hero’s!
I adopted a special case rescue from Mexico. He is the most wonderful dog and fantastic family dog ever. He loves our other family dogs, is always happy to go along with me no matter what the situation is. It has been amazing to see his progress since I rescued him. Everyone loves him and admired how committed he is to my family. We couldn’t be happier and hope to get many more family members from compassion without boarders.
Compassion without borders is a light during these chaotic times.. their unwavering support and unconditional love towards animals and their human companions is such a gift to us all.
Compassion is their touchstone and is such a rarity but so very important for all to witness and to learn.
I love love love Compassion Without Borders! My mom was in need of a companion so we got little Loki through the Humane Society (by way of CWOB) Loki was the perfect fit and a well adjusted healthy boy! He became quick best friends with our dog Charlie and had play dates daily. My mom passed away last year so Loki now lives with my brothers family and is still the happy loving dog he always has been.
What CWOB is doing is what the world needs. They live up to the name through and through!
Here’s a picture of Loki (the lighter color guy) and Charlie snuggling
Amazing organization doing such important work! Out of all the places I’ve volunteered and fostered for they are the most organized.
These people are Saints. Totally devoted to helping all dogs and probably cats also. Great human beings
I adopted both of my dogs from CWOB, about a year and a half apart. The first one, Beau, was adopted after I found out that my senior dog had lymphoma and only had a few months to live. The adoption process went smoothly, even though I didn’t know whether or not I was truly ready for another dog. After my senior dog passed away, Beau had a hard time coping with being an only child but was not well mannered enough for me to get another rescue for about a year. When I applied to adopt Sully, my second rescue, the rules for adoption had changed and I suddenly lived too far away to adopt, but they made an exception for me since I had been a successful adopter in the past. Each time I visited CWOB I had a wonderful experience, even when I came to meet a dog who I didn’t end up taking home with me. Everyone was kind and understanding, and my two rescues are deeply bonded and so happy. They were both well adjusted, considering their upbringing before rescue, and are just wonderful to have around. I am so glad I came across this rescue and recommend them often. While both my dogs are still young, I can’t imagine looking elsewhere in the future.
Compassion without Borders is an amazing organization with incredible empathy for animals in need. The team in Santa Rosa (in partnership with their facility in Mexico) is thoroughly mission-driven and totally dedicated to the rehabilitation, nurturing, healing, and proper forever home placement of the rescued "Meximutts" (and some Central Valley rescues, too). I've had the privilege of working with the team on some team-building and ended up adopting a sweet and beautiful 6-year old chihuahua mix named Turbo! The process (especially using pandemic safety protocols) was well-planned, well-communicated, easy, exciting, effective, and efficient. We love Turbo and he has enhanced our life immensely (as I hope we continue to enhance his!). Keep up the awesome work, CWOB!
Compassion Without Borders is an amazing organization that provides a very necessary, critical service to the animals and people of a small town in Mexico. The animals they help are badly injured or abused and were it not for CWOB they would die horrible deaths. I cannot say enough good things about this organization. Their compassion and relentless work makes a huge difference in the lives of soooo many animals. To see some of their rescues in their forever homes warms up my heart and restores my faith in humanity: there are still people with true, incredible active compassion.

I have followed this organization's work for several years now, donated when able and been in awe at the work they do. The work they do both sides of the border, but particularly in Mexico whereit is so badly needed is unparalleled; they have saved so many lives and helped many people keep and care for their pets. The spay and neuter is a much needed programme which will contribute to control the animal over population in Mexico. I think their education programme will make a difference in the cultural attitude towards animals, preventing the cruelty and indifference so prevalent in Mexico.
These are really good people doing hard work. No one else is going to pick up the slack, so please support them.
I wasn't ready for a dog yet, after Lucy died. But then came Babette. She's a senior. Tossed into a Fresno shelter after her use as a breeder expired. She is a cuddle bug who has not given up on humans even after they gave up on her. CWOB connected me with Babbs and I am forever grateful.
I adopted a dog three years ago
from CWOB. I love their mission and compassion for all they dogs they rescue. They heal them, make them whole again and find a human match so that each dog finds their forever home.
Compassion Without Borders does extraordinary and outstanding work in the field of dog rescue and rehabilitation. CWOB co-founders, Dr. Christi Camblor and her husband Moncho Camblor and their young son Diego are the heart and soul of this organization, based in Santa Rosa, California. They are totally hands on, and extremely hard working - as are the rest of the staff and a very loyal and enthusiastic band of volunteers. CWOB rescues dogs from impoverished neighborhoods across the border in Mexico, and also from the central valley of California. Every couple of months they make a journey from Santa Rosa CA to their facility in Mexico, which includes a clinic as well as special kennels for moms with pups. Here dogs that were rescued in dire condition have been brought back to good health, given a full set of shots and are then transported to the USA sometimes for further rehab and surgery, but ultimately for adoption. These dogs are extremely popular, being typically small to medium sized and very sociable and friendly, despite their ordeals. From the California Central Valley, they specialize in medical cases that local rescue agencies cannot take care of. Every dog that is brought to Santa Rosa is given the very best of care and the vast majority go on to happy forever homes. Another aspect of the work is spay/neuter and community clinics both in Mexico and under served districts of Santa Rosa, including for the pets (dogs and cats) of homeless people. Spay/neuter is especially important as it helps break the cycle of so many neglected animals. I am proud to support CWOB as a monthly donor. I feel that every one of my donation dollars does the work of two dollars elsewhere.
In desperate need of puppy love after losing my dogs, I did a short volunteer stint at CWOB. You can see the stories on Facebook but when you get up close, the dedication shown by everyone involved was amazingly intense and joyful. The hardest, most heartbreaking, cases are taken in and a miracle occurs with each dog saved. The compassion and dedication to people and dogs is undeniable.
The dogs they rescue from all over California and from a rescue in Mexico are all wonderful pups. Rescue, Rehab and Rehome is what they do best.
Compassion knows no Borders!
I have adopted 2 dogs from this organization and it has been nothing short of wonderful. I am a monthly donor as well, after experiencing the magic of CWOB. Their staff is small but mighty and they make a huge dent in helping homeless animals and in their community.
Adopted our sweet girl, “Mandy”, from CWOB! They are the kindest and most caring non-profit! Their love and compassion for dogs is amazing and unending! They are the best!
My partner and I were looking to adopt and knew we wanted a rescue. We found Compassion Without Borders and we found our dog! They were friendly and professional from the very start, and we got to learn about all Asher had been through to get to us. He’s a wonderful dog with so much love to give and we are forever grateful to CWOB for bringing him to us!
I live with 32 dogs and 7 cats in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I've bee following cwob for a long time and continously feel inspired and moved by all they do for furry friends. I wish I could do a little bit of Ali they do to inspire, support and educate (with their actions). They really are a great inspiration for this world in desperate need of love, compassion and kindness in action.
I took a trip to Mexico several years ago with Compassion Without Borders, and it was amazing. I’ve continued to follow their work, and if I didn’t live so far away, I’d be there every week to volunteer:-)
Absolutely the most worthy nonprofit organization in my book. I have adopted two dogs from them, and I recommend them to everyone I know that mentions wanting a dog. They scooped up my tripod Dachshund, Duncan, from a high kill shelter in Fresno. At that time, he still had his mangled, untreated, and useless front leg dangling from his body. He was a very undesirable dog and would have been euthanized had he remained there. They got him the surgery he needed, and he became a beautiful and vibrant member of our family. They rescued our terrier mix, Finnegan, from the streets of Mexico, where he was anemic and hairless from Mange. After their loving care, he became our happy, healthy, hairy bundle of fun! They make a difference in the lives of so many neglected, abused, and forgotten dogs, giving them a second chance at a happy life in forever homes. I am so grateful they exist as a positive force of kindness and compassion for these creatures with no voice of their own.
We rescued our sweet Chihuahua mix from Compassion Without Borders and it was the best decision we have ever made! It was our first family dog, and while we were initially hesitant to get a rescue, after much research and a few visits we new she was the one for us! All the staff was beyond friendly and accommodating and we could really tell they truly have a passion for this work. Since our adoption we have even been fosters for new dogs they bring in until they find their forever home!
Dr. Camblor and her team have a wonderful dog rescue program. In addition, they support underserved communities with free veterinary wellness and spay/neuter clinics. We have been members of the foster team as well as happy to adopt one of our fosters from Mexico.
Great organization, team and service!
I have not adopted from CWB but I have been to their facility. I know Dr. Christy from when she was a vet a Sonoma humane society. I took in old cats and she was amazing. I won’t go into the numerous cats I took in and she took the time with every old cat like it was her own. I was heartbroken when she left but the reason she left was to do even more good than she was at the humane society? The facility they have now is amazing. The dogs they have rescued, too many to count. I would trust her with the lives of my own animals more than anyone I have ever met. There is no bounds for her compassion and love for what she does. Her whole family is involved with her efforts. All angels. The volunteers that help there are just as kind. I love what she stands for and am proud to say I know her..just a wonderful person.❤️❤️
Compassion Without Borders, IS exactly what a great rescue should be. I began an interest in this rescue at a time when I was not able to adopt. While looking at all the wonderful work they do , I saw a photo of a dog who caught my eye. I couldn't get her face out of my head and knew that she has in need of rescuing. So, even though I wasn't ready for another dog, I kept going back to her photo. There were others who also showed interest in her, but I decided she needed to be part of our family. We adopted Matilda, two years ago. I hope we have wiped out the sad memories of her days on the streets of Mexico, because she is such a blessing to us. I continue to support CWOB because their humanity and caring is outstanding.
We adopted a little shy guy named Luka (Peanut) We visited him at the CWOB facility in Santa Rosa Ca during the start of the shelter in place due to COVID. They were very professional and followed all social distancing rules, while still providing this amazing service to the animals they help. We could not be happier with the adoption service, or our happy little guy Luka. Thank you for all you do CWOB
My rescue dog came from the Sonoma Humane Society via CWOB prior to them having their (wonderful) current space. I was curious as to my dog’s history and contacted CWOB to see if they remembered my dog. I was put in touch with Christy who was very helpful. I was then intrigued with CWOB and signed up to become a volunteer.
I can tell you first hand that as an organization, they live by their beliefs, every single day! They are wholly committed to “compassion.” Each and every dog is treated with care, respect, and dignity until placed in their forever homes.
Please don’t hesitate to donate to this wonderful organization!
My family has supported CWOB for more than 10 years with a monthly donation. They have grown so much and impacted so many dogs and families and made their lives better. Amazing people, amazing work, amazing organization.
Compassion Without Borders is wonderful. If it wasn’t for them, my dog Olive and so many others would not be around anymore or have the good lives they have now. Olive was severely attacked on the streets in Mexico and CWOB’s clinic treated her and got her fixed up. I was able to adopt her up here in California, and she’s a member of the family now. It is so heartwarming to hear the stories of the dogs they save from Mexico and from the US, in dire need of help and loving homes. I’m very grateful for them!
CWOB is a great organization! They gave me my best friend, Pepper. He's helped me through so much and I am so happy to be his mom! We needed each other, they understand his unique situation and help with so much to make him comfortable. It helps me knowing he will be alright in their care. I would highly suggest adopting a dog from them and donating to help save more.
My family has had the pleasure to adopt two wonderful pups from CWOB. We love the care and compassion they show all the animals they rescue. Not only does CWOB help pups in their care, but after these animals are placed with their forever family they continue to support them emotionally and medically. I am proud to write this review and look forward to reading/seeing/hearing more success stories from them.
CWOB.org is the most amazing dog rescue organization I have ever come across. A chance meeting with some foster parents led us to adopt our beautiful girl Willow.
Willow had a very tough start, with being burned over 50% of her body as a new puppy. CWOB took her in, fostered her in Mexico and then got her to their place in Santa Rosa where she was fostered by an amazing family until it was time for her to be adopted. We were the lucky ones and now we have the pleasure of being Willow’s forever home. She has the best temperament and is a loving and confident 7 month old. I know for sure, that without all the Devotion from CWOB’s volunteers she would not have made it
Compassion Without Borders is an amazing organization! I wanted to volunteer in the local community for animals and signed up for several volunteer days with them. They are very organized, truly caring and conscientious with all pets and their owners. The services they provide locally to the low income and homeless pet owners is top notch and they do it from their hearts. They also travel to Mexico, hosting spay/neuter clinics which also include vaccinations, examines and just about anything a pet will need. Central California has a high shelter kill rate and Compassion Without Borders is helping with rescues there as well. Thank you for all your hard work!
I've been a donor and have volunteered with CWOB. I can't think of a more dedicated group of people, that go above and beyond for animals in CA and Central America. They help low income families, the homeless and animals that would suffer on the streets. They do life saving work. I adore this organization and their generous spirit!

As a donor and volunteer, I can't begin to express my love and admiration that I have for this grass roots (almost solely) volunteer run nonprofit. They provide essential medical care for people that are underserved, but want the best for their pets. As if the FREE clinics are not enough, they also rescue animals at high kill shelters and even travel to Mexico offering veterinary services.
Knowing several people involved with this organization, I can honesty say they are some of the kindest people I've ever met! They give countless hours to making the world a better place for both animals & people.
Absolutely incredible work is done by this organization. Just a few minutes browsing through their site shows the true compassion they all share for animals. The name says it all. I am happy to support such a well run and organized charity.
The care and support that CWOB gives to people's pets is incredibly appreciated by their owners. As a forever volunteer, I see how grateful these owners are to have vaccines, check- ups, spay/neuter services provided to them for no cost or a small fee. CWOB serves such a great need to the low-income undeserved communities. It's my pleasure to help these wonderful pets get a better chance at a healthy life.
Thank you Christi and Moncho!!

If I had to pick a NPO, this will be it! They provide, help, medical care, love, donate medicine, shelter, their time, they take difficult cases and help them, but they also teach communities to help themselves and their pets.
I know that if I donate to Compassion without borders, the help will reach the needy, and I know it because it shows. Keep the wonderful work CWOB!!!
Compassion Without Borders could also be called Compassion Without Limits! This grassroots organization has made free/low cost veterinary care available to those who need it most, thus changing the lives of countless animals and the people who love them. Their partnerships with other animal welfare organizations has saved the lives of thousands of animals. I have the highest regard for CWOB !~ Thank you!!!
This organization has impressed me with the work they do and the spirit they share. Wonderful work that deserves support.
This organization is one of the best!! They truly care for the people amd their companions. Every time that I can I donate because I know their work.

This is an amazing organization, everything a frequent contributor to animal rescue organizations and other not-for-profits looks for when we think about where and how to contribute financially and in other ways to people/orgs doing great work. The organization is very focused with a clear mission of helping animals and helping people who love them but might not always have the resources and opportunities to give them the health care they need. It is creative: Who else would have thought of rescuing Chihuahuas in California, where they are commonplace and sadly often unwanted, and partnering with another rescue group in Minnesota, where they are relatively rare and people adopt and LOVE them! Its activities are well-planned, well-run and effective. The principals are extremely passionate, dedicated and competent. I wish every group I gave money used it as wisely as this one.
Service=compassion= love
This group is a example of both and has all the qualities a rescue needs, to give animals a healing chance,at a heart filled life.

I live in Canada and I rescued two dogs from a over crowded shelter in California. I did this because of this organization and Maya and Lenard still fill our house with love to this day!
I have followed this charity for several years now and am amazed at the depth and breadth of their work. In particular, I like the "dog lifts" and also their work with charities in Eastern Europe.
Compassion Without Borders provides support for a variety of animal groups that would get help no where else.
I love everything about this organization. I first heard about Christi and Moncho and their work over 10 years ago when I adopted one of their rescues. He was an incredible friend to me for over 8 years and I am forever grateful to CWOB for bringing him into my life. Over the years I have followed their mission and their work, and they truly represent all that is good. I share their passion for animals and am happy to have donated (and will continue to donate) over the years to support their work in bringing healthcare to animals whose parents might not otherwise be able to afford care, humane euthanasia outreach and education, their spay and neuter project, and giving many sweet animals a chance at new and happy lives. Thank you Christi, Moncho and everyone at CWOB for all that you do!
I have volunteered and donated to this non profit and can say that what they do is wonderful and truly making a difference!
I am a supporter of many charities but have rarely come across one as inspirational and dynamic as Compassion Without Borders.Their gutsy mission to save a starved and beaten working horse from his miserable existence on the streets of Mexico was truly remarkable ,In my experience it is outstanding to see such an unswerving determination to rachieve the seemingly undoable and just ask why not
I am a monthly donor and have been for several years. I have the highest admiration for Christ & Moncho Camblor. They and their volunteers work with the most neglected and unwanted animals in impoverished areas here in CA and south of the border. They give medical attention and find creative solutions to give these animals a second chance at a happy life.
I have had the honor for some years now both to donate to the outstanding organization Compassion Without Borders, and to help when Dr. Christi and her wonderful husband Moncho, bring 20 or so "Mexi-Mutts" from Mexico to Sonoma Humane, where they will be adopted and enter a new life of being loved and cared for. Christi is one of my heroes (Moncho, too). Her dedication, and yes--compassion--to help dogs is beyond outstanding. She has done SO much for dogs who would otherwise die from neglect that I feel privileged to know her, and to help in any way I can. I know there's only one Dr. Christi Camblor, but I wish we could clone her
This charity goes where most rescues do not, and everything is documented on Facebook with videos and photos. They do an amazing amount of good for some of the most needy of dogs.
Best non-profit organization by far! Co-Founders Christi & Moncho are by far the most caring people. They have taught so much compassion for all people and their pets, I will never be able to thank them enough!
Compassion Without Borders fulfills a needed place among all the nonprofits that try to save dogs which have been abandoned with out hope.
It is different because it helps dogs from Mexico which have absolutely no chance to survive.
in this respect I believe it also extends a friendly helping hand across our border.
In this way it promotes friendship with our good neighbors to the South.
It does so at a time when too much negativity is aimed at the people of Mexico.
I've been a volunteer for CWOB for a couple years now. They do endless compassionate things for animals. I love them!

This is the best non-profit organization I have ever known. They do such amazing things for people who can't afford medical care for their animals! Plus CWOB goes to Mexico to not only rescue animals, but they teach compassion and proper ways to care for animals. CWOB has changed laws in Mexico as to where instead of euthanizing by electrocution, they now do it humanely with the shot. I adopted one of he dogs and they rescued from Mexico and he is the sweetest dog and I am beyond grateful to have him. Thank you CWOB for everything you do! You are so inspirational!
I have been donating to CWOB for about 10 years. I am totally amazed how so much can be done for the animals in Mexico, Central Valley, Sonoma and Napa, just to name a few locations, with such limited funds. Dr. Christi, to me, is the "Mother Teresa" of animals. Her tireless efforts just amaze me. Please take a few moments to learn all that this organization does and you will also be amazed.
Compassion Without Borders is the "Mother Teresa" of Dog Rescues. I quit traveling to my beloved Mexico due to the sad and often horrific state of the animals that roam the streets throughout the cities and countryside. When I heard of this wonderful organization and their endless wonderful work they became my favorite rescue to support. I look forward to sponsoring a sweet pup every time they head south to help our neighbors who are so overwhelmed but working with CWB to develop more humane care for their animal population.
Me encantan todos los perros!

I used to own and operate a travel company specializing in travel to Mexico and Costa Rica. Over the years I found it more and more difficult to visit Mexico due to the sad deplorable condition of the animals living on the street.
I was so thrilled to discover Compassion Without Borders and their work traveling to areas and bringing such care and attention to animals in unfortunate situations.
I am a consistent donor to their organization due to the consistent care and devotion they bring to so many pets and their owners as well as so many abandoned animals in need.
Of all the non-profits I've supported over the years Compassion Without Borders is by far the most effective at truly making a difference. They make the most of every dollar and manage to do SO much for needy animals. Through their free spay/neuter and vet clinics, their Mexi-Mutt rescues, and their innovative ways of finding homes for animals without hope, they have saved countless lives. On every front they are creative at finding solutions. I'm a huge fan of CWOB.

I have been a monthly donor to CWOB for several years now and I've never regretted it. They work tirelessly to save animals not only here in our local communities but also throughout California and south of the border. My donation is directed to where the need is the greatest and they manage to save many lives on a shoestring. They cover so many bases; rescue/re-home, spay/neuter, and life-saving care, to name a few. This is by far the most effective animal rescue organization I've known and I'm proud to be a donor.
Compassion Without Borders is a model non-profit organization, serving animals in need and without an alternative hope. I volunteer my time and donate monthly to this amazing and inspiring group.
Great organization. Money goes to helping animals and when they ask for funds for a cause, they always send out an update afterwards.
I've been a supporter of this group for many years and have volunteered at a spay/neuter clinic in Juarez and adopted two meximutts from them. This is an amazing organization that does incredible work. I give them my highest recommendation.
This organization does such important work! Strays in Mexico have very little hope, and they are saving lives left and right. They can do so much with just a small donation!
An amazing grass-roots (and by that I mean a shoe-string budget!) organization that does remarkable things on both sides of the border. Monthly rescues from over-crowded Central Valley shelters, with small dogs air-lifted to Minneapolis where they are welcomes with open arms. Rescues of street dogs from Mexico,a spay-neuter/animal clinic established in Mexico, regular wellness clinics and now spay-neuter clinics in poor Santa Rosa neighborhoods...they are always there for the animals. Founders Dr. Christie and Moncho Camblor are wonder workers!

This organization is wonderful and they do wonderful work for animals on both sides of the California/Mexico border on a shoestring budget. founded by Dr. Christi Camblor and herHusband Moncho, CWOB provides rescues for dogs living under horrible conditions in Mexico and California...but doesn't stop there. they work with animal shelters to teach them how to do humane euthanasia and provide them with resources and support. In California, they rescue dogs from the Central Valley and transport them to other parts of the country where they can find homes, But best of all, they offer low to no cost vet clinics for under-served populations including the large Latino population of Sonoma County,,,these clinics are often the first time that some animals have ever seen a vet....low to no-cost services, education about caring for their pets, and compassion from a Spanish speaking vet...a wonderful combination
CWOB is without a question the most fabulous animal rescue org. that we have ever been involved with. We have adopted 2 Meximutts and are so in love with them. We support the efforts of Christi, Moncho and all the wonderful volunteers that lead the cause both here and over the border. The work they have done is phenomenal including stopping electrocution of the poor animals is Juarez, Mexico. No one has done more to stop animal cruelty, provide education, spay and neuter clinics +++ with such little resources. They need all the help they can get to do more in California and in Mexico. There is never enough to save them all.. And of course we want to!
I have adopted two dogs from Compassion Without Borders. Tey have an extensive medical protocol to assure tat each dog is fit and healthy. They are excellent at picking perfect temperaments.
I have been donating to Compassion without Borders for several years now and have participated in many of their drives to save Chihuahuas from Mexico and overcrowded shelters in the state. The work they do is inspiring and as an owner of two rescued Chihuahuas thank them for helping these wonderful companions find homes and loving families.
I have volunteered and provide some support and matching company donations.
I am so proud of this group who turn their donations directly toward helping animals in desperate need with sustainable programs that address the root cause of the suffering.
Take a look at CWOB...They warm the soul of cynics and supporters alike.
I support CWOB monthly with a small donation. If I could give them $100 a month, or more, I would! They are the epitome of a well-run, grass roots organization. The work they do for animals also does a lot for people, not just locally, but also in Mexico. Just the work they do to help implement humane euthansia at shelters in Mexico justifies the high rating I give them. The methods used in Mexico are awful, and I'm sure they are awful for the humans as well. I love that CWB has clinics locally for low-income communities. This reduces the numbers of dogs that will end up as strays or surrendered to shelters. A person who loves their animal, but cannot afford care, must be so relieved and happy to get help from CWB to keep their animal healthy. It surely means the world to them and that is seen by the long lines of people and animals waiting to be seen at their FREE clinics. I can't say enough about CWB, every email I get from them is POSITIVE. It's not necessary to horrify people to get them to donate. I love donating to CWB because I see the positive outcomes. I'm sure there are animals they cannot help, and have to leave behind, but they process that pain and keep on going! Another wonderful thing they do, here in California, is take dogs from high-kill shelters and transfer them to shelters where they will get adopted - even flying them to out-of-state shelters! I think CWB is pretty much the #1 small, grass-roots, non-profit I could possibly support. I hope someday, when I can have my own dog, I'll be able to adopt a Meximutt from CWB. I just love what they do so much!
Compassion without Borders is like David and Goliath. They may be small but they are making an impact in our local community. They reach out to those underserved populations and offering immunizations, education, spay and neuter and more. CWOB also has partnered with a shelter in the Central Valley of California, rescuing many dogs that are on the euthanasia list. Those dogs are then flown to Minnesota where they are eagerly adopted. CWOB does not limit its impact just on California but also rescues dogs from Mexico that have never known the love and care of a family. These dogs are fondly called Meximutts. The Sonoma Humane Society then partners with CWOB to get all these pooches adopted.
I started volunteering with CWOB as a veterinary student over 8 years ago and haven't looked back in my support of them since!! The founders of CWOB and the work that they do is beyond incredible in the difference they are making - not only in the animals' lives but in their people companion lives as well. I am a better person, veterinarian and pet guardian because of this incredible group of people!!

I first volunteered with this organization in 2007 on a spay/neuter/wellness trip to Chihuahua, Mexico when I was veterinary student (I also adopted my dog Mi'ja on this trip). It was the most amazing experience and has motivated me to be the change that I want to see in the world. I have continued to volunteer with this organization both in Mexico and in California at wellness clinics, S/N clinics and starting a chihuahua/small dog transport program from central CA to Minneapolis. The work that I have done with this organization are some of my proudest moments and greatest achievements. I look forward to continuing to volunteer with them and being a part of all of the incredible work that they are doing!
Compassion Without Borders is an amazing organization! They not only rescue animals they also educate many people regarding pet care and ownership. They are so compassionate to all!
CWOB is an incredible organization. Powered by the vision of its two co-founders (who receive negligible monetary compensation for their close-to-40-hour work weeks!), they go where the need is, always expanding to help more animals. From spay/neuter and wellness clinics for pets of underserved populations to rescues from areas with many, many unwanted animals, CWOB is there. Having worked in the arena of rescue, wellness and humane education for many years and on a very limited budget, CWOB knows how to run programs efficiently and cost-effectively while maintaining a very high quality.
The people involved in this organization put the cause absolutely first. They are tireless in their efforts to not only save lives, but also improve the lives of animals into the future by educating, and building clinics. To me, this is what a charity should do.
Compassion Without Borders and Dr. Christi are an amazing group of rescuers. She is tireless with helping as many animals as possible. Beside working at the Humane Society two days a week now (was working full time) she rescues dogs/puppies in the Central Valley & also in Mexico. I feel they go above & beyond to care for animals on a daily basis.
CWOB is one of my most-beloved nonprofits. CWOB passionately and tirelessly cares for animals and the people who love them....and in the communities who are woefully underserved. CWOB invites us to partner with them, in whatever way we can, to truly make the world a better, more compassionate, and deeply loving place.
Amazing people dedicated to helping the animals and the people that love them by providing care, spaying and neutering, education and love in areas where it is not available. This organization makes a difference in so many lives where ever it is needed. I have witnessed this difference and will continue to support the great work they do.
The selfless work that is done by this group is incredible. I work with one of the rescues that teams up with CWOB to send chis to Minnesota every month. These dogs would otherwise not have a chance in our valley since they are the second most euthanized breed. The people at CWOB restore my faith in humanity!
In my limited time of following Compassion Without Borders I've read and seen amazing deeds that have been preformed by the dedicated people of this organization. With that said they can only do this if we do are part and provide the funding that is so desperately needed for these deserving animals.
I first learned about Compassion Without Borders when I was trying to start a similar program in my area. Since then, I have stayed involved and engaged with this organization. After being in the field for more than 15 years, I can say that Compassion Without Borders does more than with less... and keeps growing. They stick by their mission and I am so proud to be affiliated with them. They are truly making a difference on both sides of the border, and making a positive impact on every dog they touch.
Our dog Sophie has been such a wonderful addition to our home. When the kids are gone and the last dog has died you think you are finally free and I was reluctant to adopt again. she is queen of the house and we are willing servants. If she wants the car windows down in the rain and wind what is a little water? i am so grateful to Compassion Without Borders for bringing us together. Brenda Conkling
CWOB is the bonb! I am a board member, volunteer, supporter, and very happy recipient of one of the first dogs rescued from Mexico City. This group embodies the ideal of compassion not just to the animals but to the people involved also. It just make me smile from ear to ear everytime I am with this wonderful group of people. CWOB has never met an animal or a person who is not a friend and who would not be helped without a moment's hesitation. Even my dog has contributed to the cause.
Compassion without Borders is a truly wonderful charity. The work undertaken to rescue so many dogs who otherwise would either die or have miserable lives cannot be underestimated. I live in England but support this charity by donation whenever I can. To rescue dogs and save unwanted litters by the neutering programmes is very important. Thankfully the staff and volunteers are so dedicated that I know good people are there to care and act for the good of many unfortunate animals. Keep up the good work!!!
I have been involved in dog/cat rescue efforts for over 20 years. My efforts have been with the SF SPCA, Redwood Coast Humane, Sonoma Humane, Bearded Collie Rescue, Compassion Without Borders, and many more organizations. NEVER have I seen more positive results for the dogs than through CWB. This group goes where I wish I could, to do what I wish I could, for dogs who have absolutely no chance of living a healthy, well loved life. I am deeply grateful for Christi, Moncho, and their group of volunteers. CWB makes a difference in reducing suffering of innocent animals, and their education of the underserved public makes a difference for all.
I volunteer with CWOB in the wellness clinics and spay/neuter clinics. It is great to help so many animals and get the word out for fixing animals. It has been very rewarding for me. Janet
Compassion Without Borders is a wonderful organization that truly helps those in need. Mostly volunteer run the amount this non-profit is able to accomplish is simply amazing. Chaging the lives of animals that would otherwise go without veterinary medical treatment due to economical and cultural barriers. Taking the time to focus on those who simply don't have the resources to care for their beloved pets. Amazing work, amazing organization serving nearly 100 animals in Sonoma County alone each month through their free wellness clinics for underserved communities. In my book they get a gold medal and 5 stars. The passion and willingness to step out of bounds and help at any cost. Thats what lifes about, loving, helping and giving.

There are people in life that just make you thankful they exist. I feel this exact way about the fabulous couple who founded and started Compassion Without Borders from the ground up. I could not praise them and their organization high enough. The programs and services they offer are mind blowing. How can two people be so amazingly wonderful? They are nearly 100% volunteer based. I myself included have volunteered at many free wellness clinics. They truly care about each and every animal they come into contact with, Determined to make a difference. They do so much with so little. This organization is truly a blessing. The animals are so lucky. I am so lucky, each time I volunteer I am reminded of the importance of their existence.
I am happy to support Compassion Without Borders in their work rescuing animals. I have a trusted friend who recommended them to me, and I have never been disappointed in their work with low-income communities in Mexico and California, and with dogs in distress.
I have been volunteering with Compassion Without Borders for almost a year now. The number of animals lives who have been touched by this wonderful organization is extremely impressive! Each CWOB team member has a heart of gold. This non-profit is truly making a difference to save & improve the lives of animals in need. They go where no one else is going and save the animals that need the most help. They provide wellness to animals to keep them in their existing homes. They provide spay/neuter efforts to help reduce overpopulation and keep animals well. They provide both of these services here in Northern California & in Mexico. They also travel down to Fresno once a month to rescue dogs from high-kill, overcrowded shelters bringing some back to Northern California and others to MN to find homes. Their results are staggering!! I really love volunteering with this organization! Christi & Moncho are truly amazing people!

I first met Dr. Christi Camblor while volunteering for another organization - her spirit, compassion and energy is absolutely inspiring. When I became a volunteer with CWOB, I was amazed by the work her and her husband, Moncho do to help animals. From promoting education about wellness, training equipment (such as a sensation harness compared to prong collars, etc.), & spay/neuter importance, to traveling to Central Valley to rescue Chihuahuas, to traveling to Mexico to educate and save animals, to holding free spay/neuter & wellness clinics locally, CWOB is working to keep companion animals out of the shelters and into loving homes. They are really making a difference, one animal and one person at a time. They naturally know how to reach people and help them to help animals, because they are truly genuinely good human beings. They both come from the heart, they both come from a place of working tirelessly to ensure they are doing all that they can to help.
Dr Christi and team are incredible. They do local clinics for animals including spa and neuter and chipping as well as trips to the California central valley rescuing hundreds of pups that are flown out to new forever homes or taken to animal shelters who have waiting adopters. They also go to Mexico and do the same. CWOB is a great nonprofit! You can visit them at CWOB.org. Why go to Mexico: Dr Christi sums it up by saying: Their suffering knows no borders and neither does our compassion. It’s as simple as that.
this is a great organization! these people have heats of gold! free supplies every month at each of their clinics. i have volunteered for five of these clinics, so far. i know first hand how much is being provided to the animals by compassion without borders. and this is only one of the many helpful services offered to the underserved pet owners of sonoma and napa counties.
I learned about this organization this year and I am at awe of the caring nature by their staff! Not only do they help animals in need they also contribute to the communities around them.
I have been a supporter of Christi's for many years and plan on many more. The main reason why is that they don't put bandaids on a problem, but get to the root cause and work to correct the underlying issue to bring lasting change. They have a focus on education and changing attitudes in underserved communities, have vision, and evolve to meet the needs of these communities. Their rescue work continues to save countless animals from untold suffering and give them a chance at a new life. They see many horrific situations in their work, but continue to forge on with hope and a smile and an eye on how they can affect necessary change.
I recently adopted a dog brought up to Minnesota by compassion without borders. Desperado(previously Brian) has quickly become the center of my life and I cannot thank compassion without Borders enough. He was transported halfway across the country, and I stumbled upon him at a shelter here. Knowing nothing about his background, I brought him home and I can't imagine having any other dog. Within a few daysof desi's adoption, someone with compassion without borders called me to check on desi and ask how he was doing so she could tell the vet who knew him back in CA. I got an email that night with a bit more information about his background, and ttis has all made me incredibly thankful to the organization for the help they gave Desi and how personable their contact with me was.
I volunteer for many years to compassion without borders
The work they do is so desperately needed
They do really make a difference for so many animal in need
I have volunteered for this organization for over ten years and have been continually amazed by the scope, depth, and impact of their work for the animals.
I adopted my little pup, Rosie, from the Marin Humane Society in Novato. I was told she was brought to the states by Compassion without Borders. She is a wonderful dog for me… maybe Havanese/Maltese/Poodle mix…. adorable. I love her so much and she loves me. She sleeps next to me at night and wakes me up at exactly 7:30 AM each morning by nuzzling into my neck for a belly rub. She only barks when someone comes to the door, which I like a lot since I am a widow and live alone. I house broke her in less than a week…. and she loves to eat cooked chicken along with her kibbles. I feel so fortunate to have Rosie at this stage in my life… I couldn't ask for a more perfect dog.
They are helping people help their sweet animals. They are reaching out to low income, and under served parts of the community. So many animals have been saved from horrible lives or immediate deaths. They transport animals to other parts of the country where they will be appreciated and loved. They are keeping people safe from unvaccinated animals and helping with population control. I hope they can continue this amazing journey because we need animals for companionship but not everyone can afford their care. They are educating us on behalf of those without human words.
I worked with the doctors and nurses at a spay and neuter clinic in Puerto Penasco, Mexico where we helped 92 cats and dogs. They were very professional, friendly and spent time with the families that were concerned for their pets. They even helped a sea gull with a wing problem that someone brought in! They did this on only a few hours sleep after a clinic in a another town took longer than expected and they drove all through the night to get to us. It was a long, hot and dirty day, but they helped so many people that otherwise wouldn't of been able to have these procedures done for their pets!! They are the best!! Did I mention they also have a great sense of humor!
I adopted my Sophie who was rescued from Mexico by these wonderful folks and brought to Santa Rosa. Drove all the way from LA once I saw her little face on Face Book. A happy ending for all involved.

CWOB has done so much good through hard work persistence, creativity, and most of all compassion. They have improved the lives of dogs in Mexico and the US. The work they do really creates change. Through spay/neuter programs and humane education and free veterinary clinics and rescues, they make life better for pets and their owners/guardians. I love their motto 'Rescue. Rehome. Repeat.'
I could go on for hours about this wonderful charity. I have had 2 dogs that I have adopted from them and they have been the sweetest most wonderful pets ever ! The group does so much good for people and animals alike. They have devoted their lives to serving those in the most need here in the states and in Mexico. I think Christi and Mancho are true Saints on earth !

I live in Mexico and although they operate primarily in the US. They have provided free spay and neuter clinics here in Puerto Penasco. The unwanted pet problems in Mexico is horrifying. Thank God for them and their organization.
I found Christi and Compassion Without Borders at the Bay Area Pet Fair and Adoptathon several years ago. I was so impressed by their mission and their ability to accomplish it with a 100 percent volunteer run organization. Every penny donated goes directly to help the animals. I became a supporter and a mouthpiece for them immediately and then recently started volunteering at vaccination clinics and fundraisers. Christi and her group are tireless advocates for underserved populations of both humans and pets. They make a real and lasting positive difference in the lives of all they serve. It's such a satisfying feeling to walk away from a day of volunteering with CWOB and KNOW I have contributed directly to particular animals and their guardians. Really a good feeling to be able to help
I met Moncho and Christi since their first rescue in mexico and they are always trying not just to save or rescue. The impact of education they had provided to hundreds of mexicans about animals is wonderful.
In the name of the hundred of rescued animals thanks for your commitment and inconditional love!
This organization does so much not only for animals here in California but also in Mexico. Thank you for caring for those animals across the border who many times suffer horrendous acts due to lack of education. This organization rocks!!
I volunteer with this organization, and i am so glad that I did . I got to meet the most compassionate people. They help a lot of animals, and also low income families that can't afford going to the vet. This is a great organization and I feel so lucky to know that I help them spread the compassion.
This group does a lot of wonderful work. I have been following their group for years. They help a lot of animals in Mexico and Northern/Central California.
I found out about CWOB when I got to know Christi better and I am so glad that I did. This is a wonderful organization and idea, which is put into action by even more wonderful people. I cannot think of anyone who is better suited to run an organization like this! They truly care for every animal that comes in and want what is best for them in the future. They are excellent at choosing even tempered dogs that will fit in lovely with families of all kinds. I can't say enough about this organization and all they do for these underprivileged animals, but I wanted to share with everyone how highly I think of them. Nobody else could pull off what CWOB does and in the time period in which they accomplish all that they do.
I have adopted out 200 dogs that Compassion Without Borders selected to come to California. They do an excellent job in selecting candidates that will be perfect family pets, and the medical care they provide is fabulous.
We've been donors, volunteers and adopters for CWOB. They put their hearts into what they do. They show and teach compassion. They help alleviate suffering. Our Meximutt that we adopted from them was starving in the streets of Juarez, and now she's a cherished member of our family. They are a grassroots organization that I will continue to support.
I am passionate about dog rescue. This particular group is absolutely my favorite. Even though I live in Texas, I somehow got wind of their good deeds. I have been a huge fan ever since. I have made a few meager donations when possible, and I am confident they have used my money wisely. I proudly display their bumper sticker, and spread the word of their work as much as I can. If I lived in CA, I would volunteer and most likely adopt from them. I have only been to Mexico once and was so saddened by the poor conditions of the dogs, i have not returned. Compassion Without Borders is making a big difference that I care about, and they are changing the lives of people, dogs, and future generations of both in that country. So needed!!!
Compassion Without Borders serves one of the most underserved populations on the planet - street dogs in Mexico. I am amazed at what this small organization has accomplished with limited human and financial resources. CWOB literally saves lives and ends suffering. Whether it is picking up sick,starving dogs off dusty roads; teaching animal control staff how to humanely euthanize dogs; organizing and conducting spay & neuter clinics, CWOB's work is comprehensive, professional and successful.
I have volunteered many times for this organization. The passion of the founders, the ways they not only put a band aid on the problems but try to create change in a situation that is difficult to change is impressive. They address more than just the basics via spay, education and lobbying for legal changes. At the events I have volunteered for and attended i am constantly impressed by the stories of the people who had their lives forever changed by the rescue work they do and animals they brought into their lives. I am also very impressed by the fact they bring clothing, food and education to the people in the communities they serve. Its one of the first groups I really do see trying to change things for the better all around and truly taking in the entire issue to do so.
Compassion without Borders is a fantastic, incredibly hard working non-profit that has really been able to achieve some amazing things for the animals of Mexico on a shoestring budget with nearly 100% volunteer labor. Their goal of humane reform is being realized daily through a wide variety of projects and humane education programs.
In 2006, I was looking for a special dog to call my own. A co-worker told me about a rescue organization that got most of their dogs from CWOB. After reading the Mission Statement of CWOB, I knew this is where my special dog would come from. I think back to the day that I got Zoey and brought her home. When I first saw her and she gave me a “please take me home with you” look, I fell in love. How could I resist? She is the sweetest, and most grateful little critter. Since that day, I have gotten to know Christi Payne and Juan Ramon Camblor, the founders of CWOB. Their hard work, compassion and commitment to saving animals on a volunteer basis is totally amazing. I am proud and grateful to say that I have connected with this organization.
I volunteer in animal rescue, and have followed CWOB for years. They clearly do wonderful work, and they do it in especially needy locations.
I have never seen a NP do so much with every dollar donated and so responsibly. With every dollar donated, I feel that they match it 100x with their own blood, sweat, tears, and passion for our furry amigos south of the border that depend on us for a voice. I will never stop being in awe, utterly grateful, and humbly inspired but what CWOB has done, is doing, and will do.
I have volunteered at three of Compassion Without Borders Spay Camps. This organization is truly amazing. The spay and neuter hundreds of animals at these camps and everyone is dedicated and hard-working. The animals they help as the most needy you can imagine and they accomplish miracles with limited funds and resources. Every animal is treated as an individual, and with utmost compassion. All my experiences with CWOB have been positive, this group has really made changing the way animals are treated in Mexico their life's work, and its working! Please support them!
My wife and I run our own non-profit and have been working with CWOB to help adopt out the dogs they bring up from Mexico for 10 years now. The work CWOB does has been truly inspiring as we have seen them cause enormous changes to happen in multiple locations around Mexico. They have spayed or neutered thousands of dogs and caused several states to outlaw inhumane methods of euthanasia (Like electrocution) in their so-called "shelters" in Mexico. They have delivered tons and tons of medical supplies, trained local vets, and built a network of volunteers who help further the work down there... and they have done it all on a shoestring budget. In terms of what they have accomplished vs. the resources they have, these guys have truly worked miracles. CWOB deserves the support of everyone who cares about animal welfare!
