Overview
Mission
Uwarf is committed to preventing a surge in stray dog and cat populations and combating the spread of rabies in ukraine. We advocate for and implement sterilization and vaccination programs for homeless pets in war- affected areas, ensuring a safer future for both animals and communities.
What it reported doing in 2025
Maintained and expanded under the sun sanctuary. Currently house 150 dogs rescued as homeless pets as a result of the illegal russian invasion of ukraine. Built a kitchen for making dog food, provided transportation and a mobile x-ray machine to be used at the front. Uwarf completed a documentary showing the result of the russian invasion on the pets near the front. Many are left homeless and need to be fed, sterilized and vaccinated. Without sterilization, the population will grow unbridled. Also, without vaccination the animals will spread disease, including rabies. The documentary was completed and has garnered 14 laurels from film festivals. The 54 minute documentary is called war tails. Provided support for missions to rescue animals near the front lines.
