Overview

Mission

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

What it reported doing in 2025

We made history as presenters at the first-ever animal rights conference held in the municipality of Muleg, helping to spark a new conversation about animal welfare in our region. We created a coloring book for 4 to 7 year olds, helping them learn how to care for their pets in a fun and engaging way. We are currently in development for a book geared towards 8-12 year olds, with the intention of having it shared in classrooms statewide.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - Revenue comfortably covers expenses and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
