Ukraine is still under attack. Homeless and abandoned dogs are still trapped in dangerous war zones and need to be evacuated

Krystina and Lala from 12 Guards put on protective gear as they returned to the frontlines to save more dogs.

As Russian drones loomed overhead and bombs landed nearby, they made their way down rutted roads to find terrified dogs in destroyed homes and on war-torn streets.

They quickly captured the dogs and put them in the vehicle before heading to the next destination. They saved many dogs of all ages and sizes.

The traumatized dogs cowered together at every sound and will need months to heal physically and emotionally. 

GreaterGood CEO, Tim Kuin, was visiting Ukraine at the time and joined a couple rescue missions. He witnessed firsthand Krystina's bravery and determination to save every dog she can.

He helped comfort the dogs after they were rescued as they headed to a clinic to be examined. 

Your donations are helping care and feed these rescued dogs and hundreds more at Under the Sun Shelter, owned by Krystina. She and her staff are caring for over 250 dogs that were rescued from war zones.
