Compassion without Borders saving animals of mexico
![]()
Compassion Without Borders was founded in 2001 by Christi Payne and Juan Ramon Camblor . The focus of our organization is to alleviate the suffering of unwanted companion animals in Mexico and other low resource regions through a multifaceted approach which includes international rescue efforts, extensive spay/neuter campaigns, humane euthanasia and humane education.
Our board is made up of veterinarians and professional animal advocates with decades of experience from around the country. We are staffed by nearly 100% volunteer labor – which means 100% of all donations can go directly toward our work!
