Tijuana Paws and Whiskers Rescue

Animal rescue in National City, CA

HI, I'm Wendy and I am the founder of Tijuana Paws n Whiskers Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue. I alone rescue dogs and cats on both sides of the border, focusing on the streets of Tijuana, Mexico where animals are often abandoned, sick, injured and starving. All my rescues are given the medical attention and love that they need to be ready for their forever homes in the United States. I moved from California to Tijuana with a dream of opening a shelter. I hope to make that dream a reality one day! As a small rescue, I am always in need of fosters and donations. I am in the process of creating a website for my rescue, but in the meantime you can also email me at tjpawrescue@yahoo.com. You can also find me on Instagram at @tijuanapawsnwhiskersrescue. Thank you so much for choosing adoption and saving a life!

Additional adoption info

If the pet you choose to meet has been rescued in Mexico, I will always come up across the border so that you can meet them in the US (and take them home). All my rescues that I list as adoptable are fully vetted, socialized and ready for their forever families.
