Ireland’s response to the war in Ukraine has been loud and clear: refugees have been offered shelter here and millions of euro have been raised for charities working in the country. Now, another Irish charity has gone the extra mile and is helping to rescue dogs left behind after their owners fled, along with assisting owners who are trying to bring their pets with them as they leave Ukraine.

Two members of Husky Rescue Ireland have travelled to Ukraine, driving through France, Belgium, and Germany to reach the border with Poland, after raising money to help Ukrainians and their pets fleeing the war.
