Ukraine Updates
May 18, 2022
Since just days after the war in Ukraine started in February 2022, PETA Germany and its partners have been risking it all to save animals in need. From flooding to missile strikes, Global Compassion Fund–backed teams have risked it all to help Ukraine’s animals. Meet some of the beautiful souls who now have a second chance at life because of your support.
PETA Germany is building shelters in Hungary to host animals rescued from Ukraine.
Since the war broke out, PETA Germany has rescued over 1,300 cats and dogs from Ukraine. Now, to save even more animals, the group and others are building shelters in Hungary. These shelters, located near the border with Ukraine, will provide temporary accommodations for up to 300 animals at a time.
Tired and stressed after arduous journeys from all across Ukraine, these victims of war will soon be able to rest, recuperate, and receive lots of TLC from the staff in Hungary. Due to border regulations, cats and dogs rescued from Ukraine must often spend time in quarantine before they can travel to Germany or other EU countries. At these new shelters, Ukrainian animals will receive all the medical care, tests, and vaccinations they need in order to be adopted into permanent homes.
