Ukraine Animal Crisis

The need is urgent – by the day and now, by the hour. More than 100,000 dogs, cats and other pets are in urgent need of food, water, medicine, and veterinary help.

The flood has made things even worse.

We have partnerships with the three animal humanitarian agencies that can get the basics to where they are needed the most, including 700 Ukraine animal shelters and 1,200 drop-off points for food delivery where animals are sheltering with their human companions.

Your generous donation will help save animals in crisis and will provide the necessary relief for their carers who are desperately trying to source food, water, and medicine while under fire and under the threat of death.

Your donation is deeply valued. Thank you for providing some help and some hope.

* U.S. Donors please go here to receive a qualified tax receipt. Thank you!

In the EXTRAORDINARY event that the amount raised exceeds the need in this area, your gift will go to the next highest priority.
