In early July, the animal‑rights group DABA began addressing dog‑attack incidents while promoting pet adoption in Ciudad Juárez. By the end of the month, municipal police rescued a dog trapped in a railing and handed it to local animal‑welfare authorities. Tijuana’s animal‑protection officials also took part in the inaugural session of Baja California’s State Animal‑Welfare Committee in Ensenada, where measures such as an “Animal Abuse Meter,” free veterinary services, sterilisation, vaccination, de‑parasitisation campaigns, and facility upgrades were discussed. Later in July, resident Liz Blanco of Ciudad Juárez reported a neighbor’s dog bite that required over 2,000 pesos in medical care, accusing DABA of ignoring repeated complaints and noting limited legal assistance from the state prosecutor. In response, DABA announced a free sterilisation campaign for pets in Ciudad Juárez on 1–2 August 2026, offering the service at two community centres with health checks and owner identification requirements. Authorities in Altamira, Tamaulipas, opened a legal‑aid desk to help owners of at least 12 dogs that died from suspected poisoning file complaints and gather evidence.
