The call was DEEPLY DEPRESSING - 24 highly-trained service dogs were locked
in their enclosures and slowly starving to death...We MUST get them food -
or they will die. We WILL get them food. And we will feed as many street
dogs in the area as possible too.

We MUST get them food - or they will die. We
WILL get them food. And we will feed as many street dogs in the area as
possible too. But we need your help, please!
Please donate now
A few days ago, our team in Ukraine received a
deeply distressing call from a prison manager near Kharkiv, begging for our
help. According to the manager, the prison’s service dogs are no longer
being fed. These skin-and-bone animals are locked in their enclosures and
literally starving to death. Of course, our team immediately alerted us, and
we have promised to do everything we can to help.
No one knows exactly why these service dogs
are not being fed, but the most likely explanation is that state funding has
either dried up or that organizations on the ground which once fed them may
have stopped operating. This is a war zone, and not only are animals at the
bottom of everyone’s priority list (except ours, and yours!), but some
organizations are tragically no longer even in existence. What has happened
to them doesn’t even bear thinking about.
While there are a lot of unanswered questions,
one thing IS clear: the dogs desperately need to be fed and we are the only
ones who can do it. We MUST get them food, and we must do it immediately.
The service dogs are STARVING.
Please will you help by donating NOW?

Network for Animals has received hundreds of
pleas for help from shelters and organizations across Ukraine begging for
help in feeding their animals. Pet food supplies have all but dried up and
it’s far too dangerous for people to travel to find food for their animals,
or to venture out to feed the unfortunate dogs and cats living on the
streets.
Vladimir, can you believe that some street
animals have managed to survive two months of war? We can’t even begin to
imagine the physical and emotional state they must be in, having spent
months dodging bullets and bombs to find tiny scraps of food, feed their
litters and just stay alive.
Thank goodness for our partnership with pet
food manufacturer Vetmarket Pluriton!
Our goal is to help as many organizations feed
their animals as possible, which is why we partnered with pet food
manufacturer, Vetmarket Pluriton, a few weeks ago. Their team not only
produces 21 TONS of pet food every week, but they are brave enough to travel
into some of the most dangerous and devastated areas to feed the animals who
need it most.
Like at the prison near Kharkiv…
Here, 24 service dogs - bred for service and
used for security patrols at the prison - have been slowly starving to death
as the prison survived a bombing and the inmates continued to be fed. We are
so grateful to the prison manager who contacted us in desperation as he
could no longer watch the animals dying before his eyes.
The dogs need roughly 1,300 pounds (600 kilos)
of food per month to survive, and Vetmarket is able to drop this food
directly at the prison gate where it will be collected and distributed to
the ravenous animals. Prices for pet food have soared and one of our biggest
challenges is raising enough funds to feed all the animals. If we can raise
the maximum amount possible, we can feed not only the prison dogs, but
literally thousands of starving dogs around Ukraine.
Please, help us save the highly trained
service dogs from the worst possible fate. They didn’t ask to be ‘imprisoned’
in a war and left to starve, and without us, they WILL die. They deserve all
our help!
Please donate now
With your support, WE PROMISE to keep feeding
the 24 service dogs and up to 500 street dogs in Kharkiv who are relying on
us to survive. Some are STILL locked up on people's properties!
Vetmarket now also has a team of volunteers
who go to their warehouse near Kharkiv and collect NFA food to hand out to
the animals on the streets. They know where the trapped animals are -
animals who have tragically been tied up or locked up on people's
properties - and they throw food to them. These are deadly missions, as they
skirt close to occupied areas every day and are risking their lives to keep
the animals from starving to death.
will you donate now, and help keep their
desperate little bellies full?
Our team on the ground is working non-stop to
produce and distribute Network for Animals’ food. We have the capacity and
the courage to do it, but we urgently need the funds to keep going. Prices
continue to soar, and critical supplies are more and more difficult to come
by. We must hurry to produce as much food as we can, so that we can keep
our warehouses full, and the animals fed - no matter what might happen.
Please donate now
Without your donations, we simply can’t fund
this LITERAL LIFESAVING MISSION for the animals of Ukraine.
Please, donate whatever you can right now - it
will feed the animals TODAY. Some of these animals are sick, some are old,
and some are pregnant. Wherever possible, we will always try to save the
animals we can, but the very least we can do for them right now is keep them
fed. Otherwise, they WILL die. It’s that tragic.
For the animals,
Brian and Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!)

P.S. you’ll be pleased to know that your
donations ARE reaching animals that would otherwise have NO HOPE of ever
receiving help in this terrible war. We are supporting partners and feeding
animals in Odessa, Kherson and the Khmelnytskyi Oblast region among others -
areas that are under constant siege or threat of attack. Without your
donations, we would never have been able to reach these poor animals. Their
every meal is so gratefully received, and they are so grateful to YOU!
Please, be as generous as you can today.
