Update: Krystina and fellow rescuers just saved three more litters of puppies near the frontlines. They are starving, scared, and in need of medical care. 

During examination some of the puppies were diagnosed with the highly contagious and deadly parvovirus. They are fighting for their lives and need your support. 

Donate today to give these innocent puppies a fighting chance. 

Krystina Drahomaretska was returning from a rescue mission near the frontlines and keeping a close eye out for drones when she spotted dogs on the side of the road. 

She pulled over and discovered litters of newborn puppies and their mamas.

As rain poured down, Krystina carefully loaded the mamas along with their newborn puppies and one pregnant dog into her vehicle and headed back to her shelter, Under the Sun.

They need your help.
