Ryzhik Is Getting Better! Help Him Continue His Recovery

We finally have some encouraging news about our brave boy Ryzhik! ❤️ After everything he has been through, he is feeling better and slowly recovering from his serious injuries. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has helped him along the way.

A very special thank you goes to our teammate Vita, who discovered Ryzhik after the explosion and immediately did everything she could to save his life. Without her quick response and compassion, his story could have ended very differently.

Ryzhik was found near Brovary after a Shahed drone explosion. The blast left him with burns and shrapnel injuries. He was frightened, hurt, and in desperate need of medical attention. 💔

There is another heartbreaking detail we will never forget.

When we came to collect Ryzhik in Kalynivka, a little boy, approximately seven years old, came out to say goodbye. He told us that Ryzhik was his friend and gently explained that he didn’t bite. 🥺

Just imagine how difficult that moment must have been for the child. Ryzhik wasn’t just a dog to him — he was a friend. And although we had to take Ryzhik away to get him the medical help he desperately needed, we hope that one day both of them will remember this story with a happier ending.

Vita immediately rushed Ryzhik to a veterinary clinic, where he spent the night receiving treatment and remaining under medical supervision. Thankfully, his condition has improved, and he is now on the road to recovery.

Unfortunately, our shelter is already completely full, and we don’t have a space where Ryzhik can safely stay after leaving the clinic. To make sure he has somewhere comfortable and secure to recover, we arranged paid boarding for him.

Now we need your help to cover these expenses. 🙏

Ryzhik has survived a terrible explosion, received the medical attention he needed, and is finally beginning to feel better. We want to make sure his recovery continues without interruption and that he has a safe place to rest.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help us pay for his boarding and continue caring for him while he heals.

❤️ Please consider making a donation for Ryzhik.

He has already been through so much. Let’s give this sweet boy the chance to recover, feel safe again, and eventually find the loving home he deserves.

Thank you for being there for Ryzhik! 🐶🙏
