How you can help pets from Ukraine today

Friday, Apr 1st, 2022 | By Dr. Marty Becker

Pet owners coming into Romania from Ukraine

On Monday, April 4, I will be leaving for a trip to the Ukrainian border. I will be working with World Vets to help them set up free veterinary care for pets fleeing the war, and with Sava’s Safe Haven in Romania to understand what the most urgent needs are. I will also be working with the Romanian Veterinary Medical Association and sharing Fear Free approaches with Romanian veterinary students who are caring for pets crossing the border. This will both help avoid stressing the animals and also reduce the risk of getting bitten by a terrified pet.

I am covering my own expenses on this trip, but all these programs desperately need your support. If you can, please donate at the links below.

World Vets: Free Veterinary Care

American Veterinary Medical Foundation: Veterinary Care

Sava’s Safe Haven: Comprehensive Care & Services on the Border

I will be reporting back on my Facebook page and Twitter account as frequently as possible while I’m there, but I will be moving around a lot and in areas where I’m not sure what kind of mobile and Internet coverage will be available. I would welcome your prayers and good thoughts!
