A year ago, fate gave me a meeting with a person who changed my life🤗.
Lionel Shan De Lange became for me not just a friend and like-minded person. He became a person who inspires every day with his example, kindness, strength of spirit and boundless love for animals.
During this year, we have experienced a lot together. There were tears from losses and incredible joy from saved lives. There were sleepless nights, difficult decisions, hundreds of kilometers of roads, thousands of rescued and sterilized animals. But the most important thing was the realization that there is a person nearby who you can always rely on.
Lionel never passes by someone else's pain. He takes care of animals at the WOW Ukraine - Animal Shelter, supports the rescue of animals in front-line territories, finds the strength and opportunities to help where others have already lost hope.
I am infinitely grateful to fate for our acquaintance, for our common cause and for every saved life that became possible thanks to his big heart❤️.
Today Lionel celebrates his birthday!🥳 And I want to wish him health, strength, inspiration and happiness. May all his good deeds return to him with love, respect and support from people. May there always be those around him who share his values and are ready to change the world for the better together.

Happy Birthday, Lionel! Thank you for your kindness, humanity and for being you. ❤️🐾

Рік тому доля подарувала мені зустріч з людиною, яка змінила моє життя🤗.
Лайонел Шан Де Ланге став для мене не просто другом і однодумцем. Він став людиною, яка щодня надихає своїм прикладом, добротою, силою духу та безмежною любов’ю до тварин.
За цей рік ми разом пережили багато. Були сльози від втрат і неймовірна радість від врятованих життів. Були безсонні ночі, складні рішення, сотні кілометрів доріг, тисячі врятованих і стерилізованих тварин. Але найголовніше — було усвідомлення того, що поруч є людина, на яку завжди можна покластися.
Лайонел ніколи не проходить повз чужий біль. Він опікується тваринам у притулку WOW Ukraine - Animal Shelter , підтримує порятунок тварин на прифронтових територіях, знаходить сили та можливості допомагати там, де інші вже втратили надію.
Я безмежно вдячна долі за наше знайомство, за спільну справу та за кожне врятоване життя, яке стало можливим завдяки його великому серцю❤️.
Сьогодні у Лайонел святкує свій День народження!🥳 І я хочу побажати йому здоров’я, сил, натхнення та щастя. Нехай усі його добрі справи повертаються до нього любов’ю, повагою та підтримкою людей. Нехай поруч завжди будуть ті, хто розділяє його цінності та готовий разом змінювати світ на краще.

З Днем народження, Лайонеле! Дякую за твою доброту, людяність і за те, що ти є. ❤️🐾

🚨URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR OUR DOGS & CATS 🚨

This has now become our regular weekly order because we have completely run out of donated dry food for both our 🐕 and 🐈‍⬛.

This order also includes puppy food for our 16 little ones and cat litter for our 12 cats - essentials we have been purchasing ourselves for many months.

Alongside food, these ongoing monthly expenses continue to grow:

🍗 Special prescription diets
Hills GI Biome = $230 (Pepsi, Lera, Marley & Grace)
Metabolic = $120 (Rex & Paul)
Joint Support = $112 (Sveta)

🐶 Puppy pads for our special-needs dogs & puppies
🧼 Kennel cleaning supplies
🧺 Laundry detergent
🗑️ Garbage bags, 💩 bags and rubbish collection
🚘 Diesel for daily vet visits, emergency trips, blood donations, and ongoing appointments
🏠 Rent = $2,500
💡 Electricity = $6,000+ (we are still catching up after winter)
🙎🏼‍♀️ Staff salaries = $1,520 to keep Stacy, Galya, and Larisa caring for the animals every day

And this month brought even more unexpected costs:

🐶 Keira = $1,000+ for her 8-day clinic stay and surgery
💉 Vaccinations = $225
💊 Medications for Gina, Lera, Penny, Paul, Ralph, Woody, Buzz, Blackjack, Molly, and now Keira

We are also still trying to raise funds for Rabies Titer Testing for 22 animals so they can become eligible for adoption abroad.

💔 The reality is simple: things are extremely difficult right now, and we desperately need your help to keep going.

There are so many ways you can support the animals:

❤️ Donate - one-time gifts make a difference, but monthly donations help us create stability
📢 Share and comment on our posts so more people discover our rescue
🎉 Fundraise on behalf of our animals
📝 Help us find and apply for grants
🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️ Volunteer your time and skills

Every bag of food, every dollar, every share, and every kind word helps us continue saving lives. 💛

🐾 KEIRA UPDATE – DAY 7 🐾

It’s hard to believe that just a week ago we took Keira in for what we thought would be a simple check-up after she became suddenly lethargic.

Instead, it felt like opening Pandora’s box.

Over the past seven days, our brave girl has faced challenge after challenge, but one by one she is getting through them ❤️‍🩹

✅ Blood pressure stabilised
✅ Emergency surgery to remove a 14cm mass on her spleen that was only days away from rupturing
✅ Appetite back to normal
✅ Medication introduced to help manage the pain and symptoms caused by increased intracranial pressure

After everything she has been through this week, we were hoping today would be the day she came home. Unfortunately, some of Keira’s blood results weren’t quite where they need to be following the introduction of her new medications, so she will need to stay in the clinic for at least one more night while the team continues to monitor her closely.

While it’s disappointing not to have her home just yet, we’re incredibly grateful that each new hurdle is being identified and treated before it becomes a bigger problem. The veterinary team has been absolutely amazing, and Keira continues to show us just how strong and determined she is every single day ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared her story, sent messages, and kept her in your thoughts. Your support has carried us through one of the hardest weeks we’ve ever faced.

Please keep cheering our sweet girl on. She’s not at the finish line yet, but she’s getting closer every day 🐶❤️🙏🏼
