Svetlana, founder of our rescue partner Shelter Mishan, found these puppies in a derelict garden in Ukraine.

They were hiding under rubbish and broken fencing, hungry, frightened and clearly having had a very rough start.

She searched for them one by one and carefully got them all out. They were tiny, scared and difficult to catch, but she wasn’t going to leave them behind.

They are now safe at Shelter Mishan. ❤️

They’ll need food, vaccinations, treatment and ongoing care.

The shelter is already caring for 24 puppies, as well as dozens of adult dogs, while also preparing for a possible emergency evacuation. Every new rescue adds more pressure at an already incredibly difficult time.

This is why we support them.

When dogs like these are found, we want Svetlana and her team to be able to say yes and give them a chance, despite everything they are facing.

These little ones had a horrible start, but thankfully that doesn’t have to be the rest of their story. ❤️🐾

This is Jimmy ❤️

Jimmy was very nearly born on the streets of Ukraine.

His mum was heavily pregnant when our rescue partners found her living on the streets and brought her to safety. Not long afterwards, in the security of foster care, she gave birth to Jimmy.

And sometimes we look at him and find it almost unbearable to think about the other version of his story.

The one in which nobody found his mum.

The one in which Jimmy took his first breath outside as a tiny, vulnerable puppy, completely dependent on a mother who was already struggling to survive.

We will never know.

Because our rescue partners got to his mum in time, changing Jimmy's story before it had even begun.

But Jimmy is just one of many.

Ukraine was already estimated to have around 200,000 stray dogs before the full-scale invasion began in 2022, and animal welfare organisations confirm that the number of homeless animals has risen sharply since. Dogs continue to be abandoned, displaced and born into a life on the streets through no fault of their own.

Earlier this year, one rescue team in Kharkiv evacuated 357 animals from war-affected areas in just one month. 152 of them were puppies.

We are a small charity, but we work hard to raise the funds needed to support this life-saving work.

Every dog brought to safety, every mother sterilised, every pregnant dog rescued, every litter born somewhere warm instead of on the street keeps us going.

And for Jimmy, it changed everything.

Looking at him now, you would never know how different his story could have been.

We are so incredibly grateful to the people on the ground who keep doing this work, despite everything happening around them... and we are proud to continue supporting them so that more little lives can have a different story too.

Jimmy never had to know what it was like to be a street dog.

Thank you to his adopters in Germany for reaching across borders and giving Jimmy the life his mum could never have given him on the streets. ❤️🐾🇺🇦

Agate, the happy boy on the left, has come such a long way. ❤️

Our partner in Kyiv, Ukraine, rescued him after he had been wandering the streets alone for what we believe may have been years. Life had clearly not been kind to him, and when he was found, he was a very sad and lonely dog.

But look at him now. 🥹

Agate has been adopted by a wonderful family in Finland, where he is settling beautifully into life in a home. He has even welcomed his smaller new sibling with such gentleness and ease. 🐾

After so long without a family of his own, Agate is finally safe, loved and exactly where he belongs.

These are the endings we dream of for every dog we help. ❤️

Kyiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦

Denys is one of Dog Rescue Inc's incredible partner rescuers in Ukraine. Most days, he feeds stray dogs living on the streets and, whenever funds allow, arranges for them to be neutered to help prevent even more suffering in the future.

Right now, around 10 stray dogs are living together on one street in Kyiv. Denys has been feeding them, but he is now being threatened and told to stop. Without food or support, these dogs will continue to struggle to survive, and the situation will only become more difficult for both the dogs and the local community.

Stray dogs are not born aggressive. They simply learn to survive in an unforgiving environment. Hunger, fear and neglect create a cycle that affects everyone.

The answer isn't to ignore the problem. The solution is neutering, veterinary care, food and rehabilitation. By breaking the cycle now, we can prevent countless more unwanted puppies from being born into a life of suffering.

💙 Your support can help provide:

🐾 Neutering
🐾 Veterinary treatment
🐾 Food
🐾 Rehabilitation and foster care

Every donation, no matter the size, helps Denys continue this lifesaving work and gives these dogs the chance of a safer future.

Together, we can break the cycle of suffering, one dog at a time. ❤️🇺🇦

Here in Australia, a truly beautiful friendship has blossomed between a very unlikely pair, and we at Dog Rescue Inc. loved it so much that we just had to share it with you.

Australian magpies are incredibly special birds, known for their beautiful songs, intelligence and cheeky personalities.

Peggy has taught her feathered friend a thing or two as well… including a rather impressive bark! 😃

Proof that friendship knows no boundaries, not even between species. ❤️🐾🐦

When our rescue partners found Lucy and several other puppies living in an abandoned house in Ukraine, their future was uncertain.

Today, Lucy is thriving in her adoptive home in the Netherlands. Safe, happy, and surrounded by love, she has left those difficult beginnings behind and embraced the life every dog deserves.

We're delighted to share that every puppy rescued alongside Lucy also found a loving forever home.

Thank you to everyone who supports our work and makes transformations like this possible. ❤️🐾

A heartfelt thank you from our outreach partner, Denys, to all our supporters for helping feed stray dogs in Ukraine.

And from everyone at Dog Rescue Inc., thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this lifesaving work possible. ❤️

Dana & Buddy ❤️🐾

Yesterday, we shared the story of these puppies, who were found in a barn in Ukraine, barely surviving after losing a sibling.

Today, we’re delighted to share their happy ending.

After being rescued by our partner, Dana and Buddy received the veterinary care they needed, funded by Dog Rescue Inc. They battled illness, overcame the trauma of their early start in life, and slowly learned to trust again.

Once they were ready, our rescue partner worked tirelessly to find them the perfect home.

A wonderful person in the Netherlands offered to adopt both puppies together, giving them the fresh start they deserved.

Now they’re safe, loved, and enjoying life as it should be. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.

These puppies were discovered by our rescue partner Denys in a barn in Ukraine.

They were barely surviving. Tragically, several of their siblings had already died.

Thankfully, help arrived in time for these little ones.

They're now safe, and we'll share more of their story tomorrow. ❤️

Remember the dog was found living in a sewer in Ukraine? Today, he’s called Beily and he's safe in foster care. His transformation has been incredible.

The frightened, abandoned and desperate boy we first met is now learning what love feels like… and giving it right back. ❤️🐾
