Missiles continue to rain down across Ukraine endangering the lives of the animals left behind. Rescuers like Krystina from Under the Sun Shelter risk their lives daily to enter villages near the frontlines to save the innocent dogs, like Alma

This sweet dog was found in what remained of an old hay barn emaciated and unable to bear weight on one of her front legs. The leg was swollen and even the slightest touch caused her to cry out in pain.

She was barely surviving but continued to wag her tail as she hopped over to rescuers. 

Alma was carefully removed from the barn and brought back to the clinic to be examined. X-rays found that she has a cancerous tumor on her paw.

The only option to save her life is to amputate the leg to stop the spread of cancer. She is on pain medication and eating nutritious food to regain her strength before surgery. 

She needs your support to get the life-saving care she needs to survive.
