Tsunami’s Perseverance Was Stronger Than a Tidal Wave—Watch Her Video

When Tsunami-Lilu was found in a battle zone in Ukraine, national soldiers did their best to protect her. They called on a PETA-supported team to help her ride out the waves of intensive care for the burns and wounds she was suffering from. Watch as this sweet dog weathers the storm—her transformation will astound you!

Here’s how teams have moved mountains for animals in Ukraine since the onset of the war:

• They’ve created 1,300 safe spaces for housing animals in need, including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, pigeons, geese, ducks, swans, and fish.
• PETA’s Global Compassion Fund helped establish a veterinary clinic in October 2022. Up to 130 seriously injured and ill animals can be operated on and given the best possible care every day.
• Every month, team members perform spay/neuter surgeries for around 150 animals to prevent thousands from being born on the streets, only to suffer and die there.
• Animals in Ukraine have received more than 3.3 million pounds of food and other provisions, despite conditions that often make deliveries difficult.
• All the animals in the project receive regular veterinary care. The ones who will be transported to Europe for adoption are quarantined and prepared for the journey in accordance with EU regulations. This takes 16 weeks per animal! Around 60% of the animals are reunited with their guardians who have fled, while the remaining 40% are transported to our partner shelters in Europe.
• Every day, 85 PETA-supported employees work on site to care for the animals there and rescue others.
• More than 15,000 animals have been rescued so far!
