Mishka has had a rough start to life, but with your support he can get the second chance he deserves to find love. 

The two-year-old dog was found unable to move on the war-torn streets of Ukraine with severe head injuries after being struck by a car.

A passerby spotted the poor dog and immediately reached out to Animal SOS Odessa. Mishka was rescued and needed emergency surgery to survive. The bones above his eye were crushed.

He was rushed to an animal clinic who performed surgery to remove the bone fragments in his head and help repair the damage. He pulled through surgery but still has a long road to recovery.

The large head wound and those on his paws will need daily bandaging and monitoring as they heal. He will remain at the clinic during his recovery, but needs your support to heal.

His medical bills are quickly adding up. Donate today to help with his medical care and show him someone cares. Help us reach our goal of $6,000 for Mishka.
