Ruda and Misieck have been through so much together. After the dogs escaped terrifying fighting in eastern Ukraine, the first stop on their long journey was a rescue center in Poland, where they were quarantined, examined, microchipped, and vaccinated while PETA Germany’s rescue team secured the necessary documents to take them into Germany.

They were overjoyed to be in a foster home, and once there, the pair’s strong bond became even more apparent. Ruda is outgoing, and Misieck finds comfort in being with her when he feels anxious. Their rescuers knew that kind of friendship was too important ever to be broken, so they’ll both be moving into a new home together, where they’ll finally experience a safe and carefree life far from the horrors of war.
