When a missile exploded in Chasiv Yar, Ukraine, Amur’s hiding place caught fire. Fortunately, a kind civilian helped this dog escape the flames unscathed, except for some burnt fur. His rescuer provided him with affection and a safe place to recover while he waited for additional help. When a PETA-backed team from Animal Rescue Kharkiv arrived, the canine—who had grown attached to his rescuers—was wary, but he soon warmed up to his new friends.

See how Amur’s life has changed for the better since the team arrived to help him and other animals:

Now Amur and other animals rescued from the war zone are safe in Animal Rescue Kharkiv’s shelter, where they receive veterinary care and enjoy walks and lots of affection.
