Animals at Gorod Cobak shelter in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, is urgently asking for help. Their guests, nearly 200 dogs, need food and wood for warmth as they await the arrival of spring. Together we can make a difference and save animals from the famine caused by the war.

Through the fundraising campaign “EMERGENCY UKRAINE”, OIPA is concretely supporting animals (inside and outside Ukraine) as well as local and neighbouring associations that, in the midst of war and in a steadily more difficult context, are working round the clock to save and assist animals.

 In December 2023, with a donation from OIPA, our member league Bez Granitz purchased for Gorod Cobak shelter 84 bags of dry food for a total of 1.2 ton for 187 dogs they care, most of which old and disabled. Likewise, in July 2024, we helped distribute 20 bags (20 kg each) of pet food to the over 180 dogs and, in September 2024, 300 kg.

Today, the critical situation with food for Gorod Cobak’s dogs has been restored. Caught in a conflict which has been lasting for years, animals in Ukraine deserve our compassion and support. They currently lack firewood to heat the shelter and food for their four-legged guests. With this fundraiser we would like to give these little dogs:

4 cubic meters for one month of firewood (one cubic meter costs 3500 UAH or 78 euros). Total cost for one month: 312 euros

2325 kg of dog food for one month (daily cost of food is 6900 UAH or 154 euros). Total cost of one month: 4783 euros

To get through the end of winter, the Gorod Cobak shelter’s dogs need your help! The goal of our fundraiser to give them food and wood to keep them warm is 5100 euros. Let’s not leave them alone right now!
