Ukraine Updates
September 16, 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 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!
