Russian forces continue to bomb Ukraine destroying buildings, homes, and injuring innocent people and pets.

During a recent rescue mission, they hid their vehicle as drones peppered the sky overhead and proceeded on foot to save animals. 

Among the bombed buildings they found terrified dogs, including one with an injured leg.

We are calling this black dog “Scout”. Every step he takes is painful with a piece of drone shrapnel sticking out of his hind leg. 

He was rushed to a local clinic where he underwent surgery to remove the shrapnel. He will need ongoing care, medication, and bandage changes for his best chance at walking without pain.

Even through the pain he wags his tail and remains a sweet dog. Donate today to cover the cost of his medical care and give this brave pup a second chance to find a loving home.
