Since the beginning of Russia’s war in Ukraine, PETA Germany has been moving mountains to get help to those in need. In less than one month, the team has rescued nearly 1,000 animals, fed approximately 84,000 cats and dogs, and helped countless guardians flee the war-torn country with their animal companions in tow. For Bissy (below), who was rescued from a Ukraine shelter, and other animals like her who need loving guardians and a safe place to call home, PETA entities are helping to find permanent placements in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and elsewhere.

Animals don’t start wars, but like human victims, they suffer immensely during these conflicts.

PETA Germany’s lifesaving mission is an ongoing one. A train full of food, for example, recently delivered more provisions for cats and dogs in Ukraine.
