Happy Paw is a charitable foundation that has been supporting and taking care of animals in shelters throughout Ukraine for over 10 years. And now, when the critical infrastructure of Ukraine is constantly under attacks because of the war, we must urgently buy firewood, heaters and stoves to give the shelters the opportunity to warm up and cook food for the animals. Otherwise, the animals will simply get extremely cold in winter!

Challenge

Currently, during the brutal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, our activities are aimed at providing animals in the war zone with food and satisfying their basic needs, organizing evacuation of animals as well as providing them with medical care. Now we are helping 84 shelters - there is an average of 220 animals living in each shelter, and their basic needs must be met every day. In total, there are as many as 12,000 dogs and 6,500 cats living in the shelters, we take care of!

Long-Term Impact

Purchasing the heating materials will not only give the shelters a chance to survive this winter, but also give the possibility to not so much depend on the centralized heating. Besides, this is an opportunity to heat the shelters with their own forces. That is, by purchasing heaters and stoves once, we will provide the shelters with heat for many years to come.
