Double Your Impact for Animals and Farmers in Ukraine
As we speak, dogs, cats, and more across Ukraine's frontlines are facing unimaginable realities. Scared. Injured. Starving.
We urgently need your help to raise $15,000 to continue lifesaving rescues, emergency veterinary care, — and to spark long-term change for Ukrainian small-holder farmers and their farm animals.
Right now, your gift can go TWICE as far to save lives and build a better future
Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar you give will be matched 1:1 — up to $15,000. That means double the food, double the medicine, and double the hope for injured, abandoned pets and small-holder farmers fighting to survive.
Your Gift Will Save Lives — Now and in the Future
Your donation today helps rescue and treat animals like Vitalik, a dog found injured and alone. But it also does more — it lays the groundwork for sustainable veterinary care and farming support across Ukraine.
With your support, we can:

Here’s how your lifesaving gift can be doubled for 2x the impact:
$38 Feeds twice as many hungry pets
$67 Covers two rounds of emergency veterinary care
$115 Doubles access to veterinary training in local communities
$145 Rescues two animals from danger
$218 Supports two families with farming supplies and care
$500 Builds lasting, community-led animal health systems
This is your chance to make a lifesaving, future-building impact — and every dollar you give today will be matched to go even further.
*Thanks to our generous match donor, your donations will be matched up to $15,000 until Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET.

As VWB’s Executive Director, Charmaine Brett, prepares to step down in September, she reflects on four years of transformative global work, celebrating milestones in animal care, community resilience, and One Health initiatives. With its bold 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, VWB remains committed to advancing its mission and recruiting new leadership to build on this momentum.
When Hannah Liao, a Master of Science student at the Ontario Veterinary College, traveled to Gjoa Haven with Veterinarians Without Borders, she brought more than just research; she brought a vision for sustainable, community-led veterinary care. Her thesis on Community Animal Health Worker programs explores how local training and a One Health approach can transform access to animal health services in Canada’s North.
As wildfires displace families across Manitoba and other areas of Canada, Veterinarians Without Borders North America is stepping in to ensure animals aren't left behind. Working with over 10 partner organizations, VWB is coordinating emergency shelters, veterinary care, and food deliveries—already supporting more than 650 animals in affected communities.
