The animal shelter in Kharkiv, with which we are in daily contact, is in a dramatic situation. Currently, about 600 dogs and cats are cared for at the shelter. Volunteers Luda, Tania, Olia, and Diana take care of the animals. The girls also collect dogs from the streets of Kharkiv whose owners have fled the city and taken care of them, putting themselves in mortal danger every day. A few days ago, a Russian missile hit the shelter and completely destroyed one of the buildings. Five dogs died under the rubble, and others are injured and needed intensive medical treatment. Some animals escaped in panic through the fence damaged by the explosion. The girls have nevertheless remained on-site, repairing the damage and trying, by all means, to provide food and shelter for their charges. The town is bombed every day. The animals are frightened. There is no electricity, no gas, no petrol, no medicine for animals or people, no food and no money to buy anything. It is an unimaginable tragedy that is happening there.
Thanks to your help, we have already sent two food deliveries to this shelter. Another shelter in the area has also contacted us asking for urgent help, there are even more dogs there. We need to act urgently because soon there will be no one left to help.
