Mexican authorities have rescued dozens of dogs in the last two years and are asking for community support to end the practice, which puts puppies in hot and uncomfortable situations.
TIJUANA — Inspectors overseeing the Mexican side of the San Ysidro Port of Entry have rescued at least 150 dogs in the last two years as part of an operation against illegal pet sales.
“The puppy was a little nervous and overheated,” Bringas recalled. “It seems outrageous to me how they keep them there at the border, they have them in bags and that’s how they carry them around when they are selling them.” Bringas thinks that sellers choose the border-crossing lanes due to their high concentration of people. Given that crossing to the United States can take hours, it is easier to approach people and try to make a sale.
De la Torre, with support from other public officials, looked for homes for the other five puppies. By Monday they all had homes. The community can report the illegal sale of pets through the WhatsApp number +52 616-3339, or on the. Authorities also recommend doing it directly with a Mexican inspector at the checkpoint if one is around.
