“We would wish with your help, to support Ukrainian dogs and their courageous carers, who have stayed to care for and evacuate animals who are sadly in the middle of this atrocity.

"Shelters are being destroyed and for many dogs hopeful of evacuation across the border, they remain hungry, thirsty, and frightened whilst the bombs frequently fall around them.

“Your donation will be used to give vital support to the work of these brave dedicated rescue groups to assist them in the dark times and help the animals in war.”
