How you can support animal protection organisations in Ukraine

1 May 2024

Four Paws

In the third year of Russia’s war in Ukraine, inflicting suffering on both humans and animals, many are still looking for ways to show practical support. We’ve updated our list of ways to provide aid to animal protection organisations working on the ground.

Donations

Some of our members are actively working, or collaborating with other organisations, on the ground. If you would like to support those protecting the animals caught up in Russia’s war on Ukraine, you could consider making a donation to these organisations:

Our members:

Deutscher Tierschutzbund – Center Tierschutzzentrum Odessa;

Djurskyddet Sverige;

FOUR PAWS.

International NGOs:

Naturewatch Foundation;

Save the Dogs and other Animals.

Ukrainian NGOs: 

Animal Help ZT;

AZOU – Association of Animal Welfare Organizations of Ukraine;

Cat shelter Dobrokit;

Charity fund Life in Cherkassy;

Promin’ Myloserddya in Kharkiv region, operating at frontline;

UAnimals;

Ukrainian bat rehabilitation center;

Unity Plus in Mykolaiv.

Please note that we cannot verify the work of each actor on the ground in Ukraine, and it is the responsibility of the donor to review these sources before making a gift. We have made every effort possible to verify the quality of work of the organisations listed above. Splitting your donation among several NGOs may help to improve the effectiveness of your gift.

NGOs

NGOs can get involved by coordinating collections of aid to be sent directly to Ukraine, in collaboration with local NGOs (see the Humanitarian aid law). Organisations can also raise awareness about what is happening to animals in Ukraine.
