  1. Bunch of people around ukraine are making believe that they are getting donation to help people with need from ukraine ,helping with animals ,and food for elderly staying in ukraine because they are sick no family, this people I'm talking about get videos making believe that they are getting donations to help out but in reality all is done with the donations is that is kept for themselves, they are living traveling using the donation money, are Americans or they say that they are from America or together with ukraine soldiers or ukraine citizens and soldiers dress up on uniforms from ukraine soldiers, all is done is just been escavengers themselves and taken people who donate money for suckers , sorry to say that but is happening so much, the truth!!

  2. God bless you wonderful people to rescue this animals traumatized and confused by onset of horrible war.humans can see and understand what the war is and they can eighter take a shelter or move away to safe place whereby animals are voicless and they only get worried whey were they abandoned and so first priority is to rescue as animals from war zone .be blessed all involved in rescuing humans and animals.

    Those cute, butt shaking tail wagers have some wonderful people caring for them!! God Bless your hearts!! I like seeing them happy & not fighting for their lives & suffering!!
    Like the soldier said in Hacksaw Ridge….about how he'd like to just put a little bit of it back together! Keep up the great & outstanding work!! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’ฅ
    Ever seen the movie, "Warhorse," Joey!!!
    May we all find a way to cut back the bobbed wire properly, so that such great harm would not come to us!! I love this movie, this horse, and how for a brief time in war….soldiers were…well…overwhelmed by such anguished of such innocence entangled & put a stop to war….if only for a moment in time!!
    May we all learn from this compassion!! God Bless! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ซ

  4. A friend who lives in Ukraine is a wonderful and loving Afghan Hound Breeder of high merit. He has sent his family to safety and has stayed behind to care for his wonderful dogs. Sadly the war is closing in on him and he is becoming desperate to find safe homes abroad for his precious fur babies. Oh how I wish I could help. I would buy one or two myself, but I havenโ€™t found an open avenue to import here to the US because restrictions have yet to be lifted. Please make a prayer for his and their safety ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ

  8. My answer to the people that asked why rescue animals….Animals are living things like us humans, Animals have feelings like us humans, Animals eat food like us humans, Animals need love like us humans, Animals need homes like us humans, and at this moment in time Animals need help like us humans do sometimes. Many thanks to the people that are helping the animals. God Bless You All.

  9. What a wonderful caring compassionate person to care for the animals. Wishing Catia and other volunteers all the best and stay safe.

  10. Por favor, ๐Ÿ™ en espaรฑol ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ no podemos saber lo que comentan, ni lo que necesitan, nos piden, ni que podemos hacer o en quรฉ podemos, ayudar.

  11. Animals are lives and the Ukrainians love for their four-legged babies has shown just how important they are in their culture. This is not โ€œinstead ofโ€ helping people, but โ€œin addition toโ€ helping people!!!

  12. Reading comments is depressing at times. I understand that we should be more concerned about humans over animals butโ€ฆthe animals suffering just adds more fuel to the tragedy. I donโ€™t even own a pet but I understand how pets are totally members of family. They rely on us and they trust us so I believe that we are obligated to provide them with safety and security as best that we can. Itโ€™s just terrible all around.

  13. Katya is wonderful… Thank you for helping these innocent animals from the war ..my heart just breaks…God bless the people that bring their pets with them…Peace, love & light & many blessings to all.

  14. As a pet lover and have a total of 9 dogs and 8 cats in our house seeing the struggles of the pets who abandoned or forgotten because of the war it breaks my heart a lot! May god bless you Maโ€™am for taking care of them. I know it takes a lot time and efforts and danger i hope youโ€™ll never give up to care of them As a student who has a enough money for my everyday life I canโ€™t help to donate some money but my big respect will go for you. I hope russia END THIS WAR. Make PEACE NOT WAR โ˜ฎ๏ธ

  15. This is heartbreaking the fur baby's wouldn't understand what going on they have a brain if a two year old human there Iives madder they are scared ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜” they need much support as humans,,๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฎit's not their fault they don't know what happing the fur babies ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข

  16. Is it incredible that these people are at war and Love their animals so much they Refuse to leave them!! Then there are those who give up their pets at the drop of a hat, for any reason! I wish ALL pet owners were as Loyal as these owners โค.

  17. So sick and tired of the age old question, "Why help animals and not people?" Only selfish people who have never loved an animal or had one for a companion would ask such an ignorant question.

  18. It is so great they don't leave their Pets alone, I couldn't do that, my pet are my family and they give me so much love and animals don't make wars like humans do…. Ukraine people are so great ๐Ÿ’–

  19. Many prayers and much gratitude to all the compassionate people trying to rescue these hapless innocent animals from the war zone!!
    And to those who have said that they aren't caring about the people… SHAME on you!
    These people are courageously doing the very best they can in a humane and dedicated mission to save lives ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›
    What are YOU doing???
