Imagine - it’s 10:00 PM in Kramatorsk, the skies are quiet for once, but the reality of frontline rescue arrives at the door. On Friday night, the military arrived in darkness to hand over a dog to Dr Lach and Angela – a thin, exhausted, and absolutely frozen dog from the frontline.

And, then after the last mouthfall, sauntered right over to Angela for some much-needed scratches! Lach h

Between evacuating animals from the handful of shelters and foster homes, they’ve been running pop-up clinics and making home visits to the local volunteers who stayed behind. Pen to follow again very soon! Thes

WE DID IT! £50,000 GOAL REACHED! What an incredible way to end the week! We are absolutely over the moon to announce that thanks to YOUR overwhelming kindness, we have officially hit our £50,000 target for the Operation Kramatorsk appeal! 🥳 This goal was made possible by a final, incredible push from an anonymous donor who stepped up with a staggering £5,000 gift to get us over the line. To that donor, and to every single one of you who donated £5, £50, or simply shared our posts—THANK YOU.
