Ukraine Updates
March 17, 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.
More good news from the Polish border: PETA Germany has secured the safety of almost 100 more animals, including close to 80 dogs from an animal shelter in Kharkiv and 11 cats and 10 dogs from Kyiv. A group of veterinarians is swiftly treating any animals with injuries. Every day presents a new set of challenges, and this time, just crossing the border resulted in hours of delays. The group’s latest rescue trip from Poland to Lviv, Ukraine, and back took over 36 hours, but they were determined to help animals—many of whom had already traveled hundreds of miles and were exhausted.
PETA Germany also just acquired an extra van to rescue even more animals from Ukraine and bring them to safety in Poland.
This rescue team is working around the clock for animals in need. Thanks to their endless efforts, over 600 cats and dogs from Ukraine are safe and those who need to find new homes will soon be ready for adoption.
PETA Germany’s partners are also still at the Romanian border helping refugees obtain companion animal passports, vaccinations, collars, and food.
