Mission
Friends of Humane Services in Tijuana was founded in August of 2007. Our mission is to support organizations and individuals who work to improve the conditions in the US and Mexican communities that border the Tijuana, Mexico area, by promoting programs of humane treatment of animals; in particular, spay and neutering programs, parasite control programs, street rescues, prevention of international smuggling of animals through awareness and public education, and general public education to inculcate a culture of humane treatment of animals.
Program accomplishments
- For the fiscal year ending on 30 June 2025, FHSTJ was able to exceed its goals due to the generosity of our donors. We provided 1,114 free spay/neuter surgeries for rescuers and people with limited resources. 1,650 low cost spay/neuter for those able to contribute to the cost of materials.402 free veterinary medical/surgical treatments for animals of rescuers, placed 54 dogs in forever homes in the San Diego area, and facilitated 80 cat and dog adoptions in Mexico. We distributed 25,000 pounds of pet food. The vast majority of FHSTJ support is via event-based funding to cover the expenses of grassroots rescue groups that staff mass free spay/ neuter clinics in the poorest areas of Tijuana. FHSTJ also provides medications and materials to volunteers doing free mange and parasite treatment at street events for pets as well as street animals located in the most distressed areas of the greater Tijuana area. Individual veterinary treatments were provided to animals of rescuers via a certificate program that facilitates immediate veterinary care. The aforementioned programs also provide public education through both formal public sessions and informal one-on-one counseling.With the continued and loyal support of donors, especially our sustaining donors, we were able to help a record number of animals by providing financial support to 5 volunteer Mexican rescue groups that desperately need financial assistance to grow and thrive. These groups work in the poorest communities of the greater Tijuana area. They staff mass spay/neuter clinics, street clinics and do rescues. FHSTJs mission is to help them as well as individuals doing street rescues. We are unlike many organizations who do work in Mexico. Rather than run a shelter that can only accommodate a limited number of animals or take on a project and return to the USA when finished, we have a presence in Mexico 24/7 and are helping Mexican rescuers daily. This is cost effective and efficient. It makes the best use of donations. It also provides a better environment for rescued animals.Expenses $75,559
