PETA Germany and its partners have rescued hundreds of dogs in and around Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city and a focal point during recent fighting.

Perlinka is one of them. The chaos of war – the barrage of noises from air raid sirens and the thud of explosions – has taken a heavy toll on her, leaving her traumatized and understandably fearful.

A partner shelter in Budapest that specializes in helping dogs like Perlinka recover emotionally has been working with her around the clock so that she can eventually be placed in a loving home. Although she still cowers when other dogs play around her, she’s already come a long way, thanks to her rehabilitation. She’s even begun to joyfully accept treats from human hands!
