Last week marked the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As dire as the situation is for humans, the conditions for pets is just as bad—if not worse—because they're often left behind as their owners are forced to flee their homes, leaving their furry friends behind to fend for themselves. Read on to see how you can help.
I happened to catch a news segment featuring the amazing work of the non-profit group, K9 Global Rescue. This group, comprised of former combat veterans from a variety of countries, works with volunteers to rescue people and animals across the globe.
Over the past 11 months, they have made more than 13 humanitarian trips to Ukraine to extract people and pets from both liberated areas as well as those under constant Russian shelling.

This group needs funds to continue to transport and deliver medical aid, human and pet food, pet supplies, and veterinary supplies.

In an effort to help, I just launched my new Paws for Peace collection on Redbubble with 100% of my sales profits going to aid K9 Global Rescue. That's not a typo. All of the net profits from the sales from this collection are going to help this group so that they can help the people and pets of Ukraine. Here are a few items from the collection:
