The war in Ukraine recently passed the two-year mark, and more than 15,000 animals impacted by the war have been saved by PETA Germany and the Ukraine-based Animal Rescue Kharkiv (ARK).
Stories about Ukrainian zoo animals, such as these lions and this Asiatic black bear, have made it into the headlines over the course of the conflict, but thousands of other domesticated animals have been saved as well—sometimes out from under shelling.
ARK’s dedicated teams are providing upwards of 40 tons of food per month to cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, and other animals; offering free spay/neuter surgeries to 150 animals every month; and helping maintain refuges for animals in Kharkiv.
With their partners in Germany, many of these animals are getting second or third chances at life through international rescue programs. All the links below contain what may be considered tear-jerking or occasionally graphic scenes.
PETA is understandably proud of the work that ARK, whom they support, is doing, and posts regular updates anytime animals are saved. Many of their stories and videos—like this rescued pregnant dog and her 8 puppies—involve soldiers and civilians going out of their way in desperate times to care for and shelter animals abandoned during shelling or other violent flare-ups.
