A story of fate that unfortunately happens quite often here. On Friday evening we received a call from an alcoholic who wanted to shoot his Staffordshire bitch because she kept running away. She has also bitten passers-by, which is understandable since she was mistreated by her former owner, beaten, had her ears cut off and was constantly pregnant in order to make money from the puppies.🤬 When we got there, we first tried to put the dog, who was called Dura (Russian for fool), into the transport box. At first the owners did not want to hand over the puppies to us, but after a long discussion we were fortunately able to secure them too. Originally there were probably 11 puppies, but 4 died in unknown circumstances.😔 We are already thinking about a new name to round off the new start for the mother. In the meantime, we need to gain trust and show her that there are good people out there too! Her puppies are sweeter than sugar and are raised with love and care so that they do not fulfill the cliché of the aggressive Staffordshire and can integrate into any family!❤️ In order to secure the future of the puppies and many other dogs, we depend on donations, the links can be found in our bio, thank you in advance!🐾❤️
Dear everyone 💙💛
We are raising money to renew the kennels in our animal shelter in Ukraine, and would love your support!
Our current kennels are broken and in need of replacement. The floors are worn down, making them difficult to clean. The structure of the kennels has also seen better days.
We would like to do a full replacement to make sure our dogs stay happy and safe! 🐕🐾
Please help if you can! Every donation makes a difference.

A rescue gone right.
I’m sure many of our supporters know Snowflake aka Bilka well.
We’ve rescued her a few weeks ago from Kyiv after she was badly abused by her owner.
To our surprise, Snowflake was part of a bigger package. She came with two of her puppies which we named in in line with the mums, winter themed name; Snowy and Cloudy. We couldn’t leave the puppies behind therefore - the whole family came to live with us here at our shelter in Yavoriv.
Over time Snowflake has transformed into a confident, friendly and boucy girl. The cherry on cake for Snow was that.. she’s been adopted by the same wonderful lady who alerted us of her plea.
Snowflake is leaving for her forever home this week. We will greatly miss her incredible dance moves and a cheeky, inquisitive personality.
Let’s all wish Snowflake the best of luck on her journey.
It’s an exciting week at the shelter! We have two dogs leaving for their forever homes 🏡 💓
Koda's Mission
Introducing Koda’s Mission 🎉🐾
As we continue to grow and make long term plans, we’ve decided to rebrand our shelter in #Ukraine to thank our international supporters who made it all possible!
We want to invite you all to become a part of #KodasMission! 💙💛
We would like to thank House of Animals for believing in our mission in #Ukraine and helping us to continue saving lives.
We wouldn’t be able to do this without the help of our rescue partners and our amazing supporters💙💛 We are stronger together! 🐾
Happy World Animal Day!🐕🐾
Together with my team, I am launching a new project to help homeless animals in Ukraine get through the winter! ❄️ We would like to invite you all to become a part of this project!
It’s early October and it’s already getting colder in Ukraine. As much as we would want to, we can’t take all animals back to our shelter. Thousands of cats and dogs are suffering during these temperatures. Many of who lost their homes, because of the war.
We found a cheap way to provide many of them a safe and warm place to sleep and rest. For just €60,- you can buy a home for a dog this winter: https://derbestefreundfluechtetmit.com/save-a-life/
When you donate, you can add a message of peace, that we will write on the house.
Each house will get a unique number – it will also be photographed and placed on a special online map, so you will know the exact location of your house. That way you can show friends and family that you are a proud owner of “Lifesaving Real Estate”.
Please support us by being a part of this unique project, and don’t forget to share this video! Thank you!
Bay gets a treat!

Tigger at his foster home in Germany
Good morning from Tigger, enjoying life with his foster family in Germany! 🇩🇪
Tigger originally came from Odessa, where he was kept in a small cage all day, covered in his own feces 😔 He spent a few weeks at our shelter to decompress, before continuing his journey to the most wonderful foster home he could have ever wished for 💓 He is now living his best life and has lots of doggy friends to play and run around with, as you can see!
At his foster, he got his (perfectly fitting!) new name 🥰 "Tiggers don't jump, they bounce!" 🐾
