Who We Are

On a trip to El Paso, Texas, we walked across the Mexican Border to Ciudad Juarez where we saw one of the saddest sights we had ever seen. Enormous numbers of dogs and cats appeared to be living on the streets in devastating conditions. We vowed to take action.

That was the beginning of Paws Across the Border, Inc., which has evolved into a series of spay/neuter clinics in Ciudad Juarez. Two were conducted in 2003 and a third occurred in March, 2004. Ciudad Juarez has an estimated 100,000 stray companion animals. No local spay/neuter programs have existed until now.
