More than 12 million people have been forced to flee in Ukraine, resulting in millions of abandoned pets. Many people are wandering the streets alone, desperately seeking help, and the crisis is worsening by the day. The Ukraine War Animal Relief Fund focuses on projects that rescue, vaccinate, and sterilize pets abandoned in Ukraine because of the war. This project has far-reaching implications for animal as well as human safety and ecosystem health.
The event was held as part of a monthly author/speaker series sponsored by Edmonds Waterfront Center and My Neighborhood News Network.
