Urgent Appeal After Devastating Fire At Gorlovka Dog Shelter!

A  shelter that IFAW have been supporting in Gorlovka, Ukraine,  has suffered a devastating fire. The fire burnt out a house where the shelter workers and some dogs lived. One dog perished in fire. All supplies of medications, medical equipment and furniture were completely destroyed by the fire. The roof collapsed and windows burst. Only the brick walls remain.  And besides this the shelter’s generator was stolen during the fire. The shelter needs help to make new supplies of medications and to build new house for workers.

The dogs and staff are all now together in the part of the building that was saved from the fire. But they need to replace all the medicine and surgical tables. Your gift will be a lifeline to these dogs, and to the animals that rely on us for protection and care.

The shelter also urgently needs to repair its fence. Because the shelter sits in between two armies – literally on the front lines of the Ukraine war – it’s surrounded by explosions and gunfire.

Now the survivors need food, medical supplies, and a repaired fence to protect them from bullets and bombs. This is a life-and-death crisis.

With your gift, you can help us feed and care for the dogs, repair the fence, and keep the shelter running. And your gift will help us rescue, care for, and protect other animals IFAW is helping around the world.

The dogs, and the incredibly brave shelter workers, deserve whatever care and protection we can afford.
