Our partner Under the Sun Animal Shelter, Krystina Drahomaretska, took in 54 of the 80 dogs she helped rescue alongside police and other rescuers from heartbreaking conditions at a breeding farm in Ukraine. 

The dogs are scared and desperate for love after living in squalor in cramped cages for their entire lives and used repeatedly for breeding. They need your support to get life-saving medical care.

They are matted, covered in parasites, and in need of nutritious food. Many are also suffering from painful dental disease and ear infections.

Some are fighting for their lives against deadly infections like pyometra.

A couple of the larger dogs were kept in such tiny crates that they have muscle atrophy and struggle to walk.

Just when rescuers thought they had seen the worst at the farm they turned the corner and found more horrific conditions that dogs were forced to live in.

The focus now is on the rescued dogs and giving them the care they have needed for so long. They are at a clinic being treated by a vet, but the road to recovery will be long and expensive.

They have lived their entire lives in unsanitary and unsafe conditions that look like something straight out of a horror movie. It is a miracle they have survived.
