Profile

Crossing Guardians is a nonprofit animal rescue and charitable organization. The purpose of our organization is to save and improve the lives of abused, neglected, and homeless animals suffering and struggling to survive along the California-Mexico border. By striving to remain consistent with our mission, Crossing Guardians provides rescuing, providing vet care, transporting, fostering, and placing homeless animals who roam aimlessly along the United States-Mexico border areas ("border strays"), with an emphasis on the greater Tijuana area. The plight of border strays - abuse, neglect, homelessness, starvation, injury, illness and disease, loneliness and despair - does not exist in a vacuum. It is brought about by the underlying impoverished conditions and culture of the community. It is a viciously cruel cycle. Reducing pet over-population is a major step in improving the health and welfare of animals in this region. As such Crossing Guardians encourages adopting rescued animals and

Through donations received, Crossing Guardians most accomplished service was providing much needed, life-altering, veterinarian care to severely abused, neglected and homeless animals suffering, This also includes spaying and neutering these homeless animals once they are well enough. The end goal is to get them fully vetted, crossed over to the United States, and placed in homes. We were able to help approximately 200 abused, neglected and homeless animals.-$62,205
