Our Projects

Global Outreach Programs for Animal Welfare - México (GOPAW) aims to provide accessible veterinary care to vulnerable areas of Mexico through a comprehensive suite of services. Our objectives are as follows:

 

• • To administer complimentary sterilization procedures for cats and dogs in underserved communities, reducing overpopulation and improving animal welfare.

  • To deliver complimentary core vaccination services, safeguarding against common and preventable diseases among the local canine and feline populations.

  • To implement complimentary deworming and ectoparasite control programs, mitigating the spread of parasitic infections and enhancing overall animal health while minimizing zoonotic risk.

  • To offer accessible pet care education to community members, fostering understanding and compliance with veterinary recommendations, thereby positively impacting herd health and local animal welfare.

  • To facilitate permanent identification (such as microchipping or ear notching) of sterilized animals, enabling effective data collection for research purposes and long-term tracking.

  • To conduct comprehensive data collection on zoonotic diseases, including stool sample analysis to determine prevalence rates and identify common intestinal parasites among the studied animal population.

  • To gather data on prevalent ailments such as transmissible venereal tumors, heartworm disease, and miscellaneous injuries, providing insights into pressing veterinary needs in the target regions

​

​The overarching goal of this data collection effort is to raise awareness of public health risks and advocate for increased grant funding to support larger-scale projects aimed at improving the health and welfare of animal populations in underserved areas of Mexico.
