Our mission is to improve the living conditions of pets in Eastern Europe by providing: food, medical care, adoption.
U-Hearts is a non-profit public organization that works towards improvement of living conditions of abandoned pets in Eastern Europe. Due to the war, thousands of pets in Ukraine have been left without homes and proper care.
Almost 1660 tonnes of food has been successfully provided to pets in Ukraine since the start of the initiative, ‘Save Pets of Ukraine’. The network of aid recipients can reach over 262,000 pets.
The foundation started its operation from purchasing pet food, and now it is working on promoting medical care in shelters. The first step has been taken — an anti-rabies vaccine for 1,000 pets has been purchased.
