Funding emergency shelter for animals in Ukraine - EUR 3,000 (22 June 2022)

Since the start of the invasion in Ukraine, they provided structural emergency assistance to dogs, cats and horses. This has saved tens of thousands of war-affected animals from starvation. As an authority on animal welfare and rights in the Netherlands, Karen Soeters has been working tirelessly with House of Animals for over 10 years to end animal suffering. The House of Animals website, is the largest animal news site in the Netherlands. Already, over 12,000 articles have been published.

Karen went to Ukraine herself to save animals and to raise awareness for the cause. In February 2024, she started a campaign for people to adopt an animal in Ukraine. The animals stay with local volunteers or in animal shelters along the front line. Ukrainian soldiers regularly bring wounded dogs or cats there, which they have rescued.
