About the work
"Dogs Without Borders" is a unique project that delivers a scalable solution to two long-standing issues — abandoned dogs left to die and remote communities without basic diagnostics." — Dr. Carla Ismael, CEO
The project trains rescue dogs to diagnose breast cancer — giving people living in remote communities access to diagnostics. In its first year, this project diagnosed hundreds of women in remote areas across three continents.
