Rescue Under Fire: Saving Dogs and Cats from Pokrovsk

If you’ve been following our work, you know we’ve been working closely with the Dnipro team to rescue dogs from the village of Pokrovsk.

Once a lively village, Pokrovsk now has only a handful of residents left—most of them elderly people with nowhere else to go. Many pets have been abandoned, left to fend for themselves.

For the latest rescue mission, we rented a large van and filled it with food to leave behind, along with crates to bring dogs and cats to safety. During the operation, a powerful blast nearby sent a shockwave that ripped one of the van’s doors completely off.

The team left all the food behind and was able to bring back 12 dogs and cats in the damaged van. While it may not seem like a lot, every rescue makes a difference, and every life counts!

When it’s safe, we'll continue the rescue mission. A huge thank you to everyone who has made this work possible! We truly couldn’t do this without you.
