Ukraine that cares: why animal evacuation is our common cause
The war made us all witness stories of loss, danger and evacuation. We are used to thinking about the safety of people first and foremost.

Left to their own devices, animals often die of hunger, thirst, or injuries. Pets are especially vulnerable because they are used to human care and cannot find food or a safe place on their own, and thus cannot survive.
