Issue

As a result of hostilities, the situation with homeless, lost and abandoned animals in Ukraine has become nearly catastrophic. Out on the streets, animals are exposed to many negative factors, including: suffering from hunger, thirst and cold; death from disease; accident injuries; injuries during dog fights; ill-treatment by a person (poisoning, shooting, etc.). Animals in shelters that are surrounded and become hostages of war are often doomed to simply await their "final day". Today in Ukraine, efforts by numerous specialists and volunteers involved in animal rescue are not coordinated in any way. And people who find an animal in need of help very often simply do not know where to turn them to.

Solution

Project involves creation of all-Ukrainian service (center) for coordinating animal care to save animals from cruelty, help injured and distressed animals, reduce the number of homeless animals using humanly methods. Anyone who has found an animal injured or trapped in an unnatural and dangerous environment for him, has lost the parents of the cubs, abandoned pets, or has encountered cases of cruel treatment, should be able to contact the hotline. As such, will be provided professional advice on how to act in each specific case and will be directly connected with the necessary services. Also, the goal of the project is to establish partnerships with dozens of organizations in most major cities of Ukraine and Europe involved in helping animals, as well as with volunteers.
