While we’ve seen unprecedented numbers of pets evacuating with their owners out of Ukraine, there are still some animals unfortunately left behind, surrendered to shelters or simply released in the streets, where they have to fend for themselves. These groups want to provide needed food, pet carriers, medicines and other pet supplies, so we are looking at how best HSI support can be deployed. We are also engaging with animal organizations in countries neighboring Ukraine, such as Poland and Romania, to see how best we can support them as they assist refugees with their pets. In Germany, for example, HSI has teamed up with Berliner Tiertafel to help refugees who arrive with their animals in Berlin and will soon expand to other cities. Humane Society International has been able to respond immediately to support both people and animals affected by this crisis, by working with groups in Ukraine, as well as in Germany, Italy, Romania and Poland, where refugees are arriving with their pets. During this conflict, huge numbers of animals are also being directly impacted. Many have lost their lives to the violence many more have fled the country, moved to safer locations within Ukraine, sought safety underground or remain blocked in their place of residence. The war in Ukraine is impacting millions of people. In a “precedent-setting,” compassionate decision, the European Commission advised all EU Member States to relax veterinary paperwork requirements for the dogs, cats and other companion animals traveling with refugees seeking safe passage in EU Member States. While HSI worked with local groups to provide a welcome lifeline for animal victims who made it to safety, those helping feared a worsening animal welfare crisis to come inside Ukraine. In recognition of the clear desire of people in Ukraine to care for the animals caught up alongside them in the war, the Romanian Red Cross and HSI launched an unprecedented agreement to get vital pet food and veterinary supplies into Ukraine. We also provided animal aid to Polish partner group BOOZ. HSI met with refugees and their animals in Medyka, Hrebenne Tomaszow Lubelski, Lubycza Krolewka, Przemysl, and Kroscienko-Smolnicawho. have been distributing emergency supplies to refugees arriving with cats and dogs at Polish/Ukraine border reception points.
