Since just days after the war in Ukraine started in February 2022, PETA Germany and its partners have been risking it all to save animals in need. From flooding to missile strikes, Global Compassion Fund–backed teams have risked it all to help Ukraine’s animals. Meet some of the beautiful souls who now have a second chance at life because of your support.
PETA-supported rescuers from Animal Rescue Kharkiv (ARK) rushed to the heavily battered city of Chasiv Yar, Ukraine, to evacuate eight dogs who’d miraculously survived ongoing attacks in the area. Watch the team work with compassionate locals to recover the animals:
The eleventh-hour rescue was accomplished at dusk, during the quietest time of the day. The rescuers recovered two dogs who had survived a direct hit on their home. Three other dogs were saved by a local woman, who protected them from being killed under fire. One local man led the team on a bicycle to recover a German shepherd found in a yard next to a burned-down house.
Thanks to ARK and other kind humans, these rescued animals are all safely recovering and will be put up for adoption.
