Each week, we deliver fresh water and provide on-the-spot medical treatment for injured Underdogs. We believe that every dog is worth saving, regardless of age, breed, or location, and will continue to advocate for the voiceless dogs who deserve to enjoy loving families and safe forever homes.
The Underdogs are sweet and gentle animals who crave human attention. Please consider showing them how much they're loved by sending some delicious food from their wishlist. Rescuers Without Borders is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and all donations are fully tax-deductible.

There are over 1,000 stray dogs living in a landfill full of hazardous waste in the central Black Sea Region of Turkey.
"The Underdogs", as we call them, have no homes and no families and survive by feeding off the mounds of garbage that pile up at the landfill and serve as their sole source of nutrition.
Naturally, the Underdogs face a myriad of serious medical challenges, such as paralysis, cancer, and behavioral complications. Many of them would be best suited for hospice care but must struggle to survive on their own without medical treatment. Others are very adoptable dogs that sadly have been dumped to the landfill to perish.
Since our humble beginnings in 2017, we've been working directly with these landfill dogs, rescuing as many as possible, and providing them with veterinary care, medical treatment, and safe boarding. Ultimately, our goal is to get them ready for loving forever homes in the United States.
