Who We Are

Our Mission And Goal

Our mission is to reach every lonely kitten, puppy, cat, and dog in the high-risk regions of Ukraine. We achieve this through local volunteers by providing crucial aid, including food, medicine, and funding for sterilizations, to shelters, fosters, and independent rescuers operating amidst the war in Ukraine.

By focusing on these vulnerable animals we strive to develop a more compassionate society, creating a safer, healthier environment for both animals and people.

Our Story And Team

We have always had a strong bond with cats and dogs since childhood. In adulthood many of us became vegetarian and pescatarian. Then, after gaining experience as shelter volunteers, adopting from shelters, and evacuating from war, also learning that more than 6 million cats and dogs are abandoned and many of them are euthanized each year worldwide. This heartbreaking reality became our call to action. Moreover, recent scientific researches have illuminated the complexity of their emotional experiences, such as fear, joy, affection, and anxiety, as well as their cognitive capacities. Cats and dogs, domesticated and overpopulated by humans, depend on us, making us responsible for their care and safety.

UHS relies solely on donations. Every contribution goes directly to them; we operate on a non-salary basis, ensuring that 100% of your donation directly benefits the animals in need. Our ultimate dream is a world where rescue is no longer needed!
