Over five million people have fled Ukraine since the beginning of the war.

Although a few refugees have been able to bring their pets along, there are still thousands of animals that have been abandoned. Moreover, many individuals fleeing Ukraine have had to surrender their pets to shelters due to travel constraints. This has added to the already substantial number of stray animals in the Ukrainian shelters and is an additional burden to an already stressed system. Most of the shelters are now at the brink of capacity.

This situation has led to a critical problem of starvation among these animals, particularly those on the streets and in shelters in bombarded cities with limited resources for animal rescue activities.

For example, a medium-sized dog requires 300 grams of dog food daily. With many shelters housing over 600 animals, they need more than 1,800 kg of dog food each day, or 5,4 tons per month, with a total monthly cost of EUR 15,600! This is a huge financial burden for the already-stressed animal rescue organizations in Ukraine.

To address this issue, we work with our partners to purchase and deliver pet food directly to those who need it most, including shelters and volunteers. To date, we have delivered more than 46 tons of pet food to Ukrainian animal shelters and one ton to Ukrainian refugees who arrived in Nice with their pets. Our efforts continue as we keep delivering food to animal shelters in Ukraine that urgently need it.

We also strive to purchase as many goods as possible in Ukraine to support the local economy and secure livelihoods for Ukrainians. However, we cannot do this alone and need your help to make a meaningful impact. Please consider supporting our cause to ensure that these animals receive the necessary care and nutrition they need to survive.

We want to do more, but we cannot do it without your help.
