10 Ukrainian Pets Saved from the Battle Zones That Need Your Support
Shelters across Ukraine are filling up with animals that have been injured, abandoned, or left homeless because of the ongoing conflict.
We’re talking about cats and dogs of every age getting caught up in the chaos and desperately needing assistance.
Thanks to the support they’ve received so far, they’ve been able to provide essentials like pet food, warm blankets, dog kennels, and medical care to these animals.
But here’s the reality: the need for these supplies is still increasing by the day.
As the battle lines change, more pets find themselves in danger. Brave volunteers are stepping up to save them from the hardest-hit areas in Kherson and Sumy, Ukraine. These places, under heavy attack, are where you’ll find lost pets scavenging for food and shelter.
Animal shelters, already stretched thin in resources, are now accommodating an influx of evacuated pets. They’re in urgent need of assistance to provide food and care for these animals.
Here are ten pets rescued from conflict zones, looking forward to your support.
