Heartbreaking Photos Show Ukrainians Clinging To Their Pets As They Flee: Here's how you can help

[demmiblue]

As hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians flee their country, many are refusing to leave without their pets by their side. Across social media, photos have popped up of people and their animals attempting uncertain border crossings or huddling in bomb shelters and subway stations.

According to recent reports, Poland, Romania and Slovakia are allowing Ukrainians to bring pets across borders without veterinary paperwork. However, there are still many animals in Ukraine in need of food, medicine and care. Heroic volunteers and shelter workers are staying behind in the face of missile strikes to care for these homeless animals.

It’s hard not to feel powerless in times of crisis, but there are ways to help Ukrainian pets and their families — as well as the shelter animals with nowhere else to go. Here are some organizations that need your support to help the animals of Ukraine:

1. Heart wrenching, seeing their faces...

Here in the Caribbean, there are dogs that are left behind to fend for themselves... We came here with two pets, and have added two more, the most recent just a couple of months ago..

We cannot add any more ......

9. Choked up and eyes watery. Pray for them all Humans and all animals, domestic and wild.

F'ing war to appease and feed the ego of a narcissistic, power hungry, little pip squeak of a man. Men, women, children animals all offered up on the Putin altar.

Glad Poland,Romania and Slovakia are letting pets in without paperwork.That helps so much.
