It has been over 1,000 days since war broke out in Ukraine – and every day has meant unbelievable suffering and abject terror for the wild animals abandoned as missiles strike and bullets fly.

Countless animals have died and countless more still wander the frontlines, miraculously escaping death as their homes are blown up and their families killed.
Many of these wild animals were kept as “pets” before war broke out. Once the fighting began, they were either abandoned to die in their cages or released to fend for themselves.
Despite being left to starve to death or be slaughtered by Russian soldiers, many animals have managed to survive, scavenging what food they can from amidst the rubble and destruction. For these terrified wild animals, every day on the frontline could mean death.
We MUST keep up our search-and-rescue missions to save these forgotten animals – but we can’t do it without your help.
Every week, our team risks their lives to save desperate wild animals from the war zone.
As freezing winter sets in and enemy troops pour into Ukraine, we are fighting to save them all before it’s too late.

A bitter winter has Ukraine in an icy grip, leaving animals to freeze on top of ravenous hunger, debilitating injuries and constant terror.
Our partner in Ukraine, Wild Animal Rescue Center (WARC), needs to conduct critical rescue missions for animals on the frontline, but snowy conditions are making it extremely difficult to continue their life-saving work.
One of the most crucial needs is a set of specialized winter tires, to let its animal ambulance safely navigate the pot-holed, treacherously wet and icy roads.
Getting to the animals is only half the battle. When our team finds them, many are so badly injured, they need major medical intervention. And with below-freezing temperatures coupled with the constant threat of attack, treating animals on the side of the road can be deadly.
If we can get the snow tires and install an examination table in our partner’s animal ambulance, we will drastically improve the chances of survival for both the animals and our hard-working team.

Last but not least, we need to supply secure animal crates for transporting large animals like bears from the frontlines to the safety of the WARC sanctuary.
If we can raise $4,300 (approximately £3,400), we can equip our partner’s animal ambulance with everything it needs to continue saving defenseless animals in Ukraine.
We promised to help until the war is over, but we can only do it with your continued support.
