Ukraine Updates
June 13, 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.
At only a year old, sweet Daisy was alone in war-torn Ukraine and likely wouldn’t have lived much longer. Thanks to PETA Germany’s repeated efforts to enter a war zone, her life changed drastically for the better when rescuers scooped her up and transported her to safety in Poland, along with dozens of other cats and dogs.
After weeks of care, during which she received her vaccinations and clearance to travel, she embarked on another journey—this time to her permanent home in Belgium.
Daisy Has a Big New Family
Daisy’s new guardian describes her as smart and energetic. She loves people and is affectionate with everyone she meets. Now part of a big family, she lives with a canine brother and two sisters in her new home—and they all play and sleep together.
Her favorite pastimes are racing around the yard with her new pack (she’s fast!), tempting her new neighbor to give her treats through the fence, napping in her preferred armchair, paddling in the pond (and getting dried afterward), sleeping on her guardian’s bed with her canine brother, chewing on a squeaky pineapple toy with her puppy sister, and carrying around a fluffy yellow duck.
It’s hard to know or even imagine what she has been through, but this adorable and resilient little girl is now enjoying the life she’s always deserved.
Take Action for Animals in Ukraine
As Daisy starts this new chapter of her life with her furever family, many loving adoptable dogs like her are still waiting for a permanent home. Remember, every time someone buys a puppy or a kitten, they fuel the homeless-animal crisis and an animal in a shelter loses a chance at finding a home.
