Ukraine is in turmoil. Critical and vital infrustractures are destroyed just when the brutal winter has started to set in. INJURED, SICK, ABANDONED, CRITICALLY ILL animals are filling the streets. They are suffering, starving and freezing to death. Volunteers who stayed behind to care for the animals are preparing meals in bonfires and use homemade IVs and expired human meds to treat their critical cases. They are exhausted, heartbroken, and helpless.
Since the beginning of the War, we have been overwhelmed with daily requests for critical help for the animals of Ukraine and Russia. We have been able to support shelters and volunteers in occupied territories, allowing them to feed, treat, steralize stranded and abandoned animals.
Unfortunately, we have depleted the funds we were able to raise with your help, funds we earned finding wonderful homes for shelter animals through our adoption program, our own funds. With daily incoming requests for help, how do we choose when to help, when to save a life and when to say no because we have nothing to offer? Every time we have to decline, our hearts shatter… Is there a way to stop thinking how the volunteers on the ground must feel when they are unable to provide as little as first aid to a suffering animal because they dont have the funds to buy medication or bring a dog to a vet? How must they feel when they have no other option but to just leave them on a side of the road in agony? How do they feel when thay have no food for a 4-legged stray skeleton who is wagging his tail with the last effort in hopes that this human can help him survive?
What we can do: BLLAR is partnering with volunteers in Massachusetts, Czechia and Ukraine to organize and deliver humanitarian help to animals in previously occupied and frontlines areas of Ukraine (Kherson, Kharkiv, Brovary, Mykolaiv) This is why we are coming to you and plea for your assistance for the animals in this war-torn region.
Our mission is to raise funds for the following:
✔️ Food for Rescuers Feeding Hundreds of Starving Animals Daily
✔️ Food and Warm clothing for shelter animals
✔️ Winterized wooden kennels for stray dogs and cats
✔️ Heat Generators for animal shelters
✔️ Emergency Vet Care
✔️ Spaying and Neutering
✔️ Transportation (Fuel) costs
In supporting this mission,
❗️You will help us get starving dogs who are trying to eat rocks off of the streets and into boarding.
❗️You will aid in getting cats who were found buried under the rubble of their home to the vet for treatment.
❗️You will help frightened and recently orphaned animals wandering the streets injured by bombs and debris.
❗️You will be helping that Rescuer who has gone without eating or sold personal possessions, solely to help the animals in their care.
You will be saving thousands of LIVES.
While we are blessed not to experience cold and hunger, let’s unite this Giving Season and show brave Ukrainian rescuers that they are not forgotten and they are not alone in dealing with the consequences of this catastrophic War.
PLEASE consider donating to this cause. Your help will mean so much for so many. All wishlist gifts will be sent to dogs and cats in Ukraine.
We will be sharing the stories of animals being assisted by your generosity.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

How to begin to describe what is happening in Ukraine TODAY!? It is impossible to put it into words because none of us have ever lived through anything like this. Perhaps you can only vaguely sense it in you heart when you see the eyes of those on the ground: their terror, their despair, their pain. And once you do, you cannot get it out of your mind. You will know that this is unacceptable, and that you want to do something-anything-to help.
To grasp the scale of true disaster, you'd need to start with a pre-existing stray animal overpopulation, no TNVR programs, and then add War, mass relocation of people leaving innumerable pets behind, quadrupled prices, loss of electricity, heat and insufficient amounts of drinking water. And of course the Winter with its freezing rains and chiling winds.
