About Transform a Street Dog - Birdsboro

What is the problem:

In Ukraine, a lack of shelters and sterilization programs has led to a large street dog population. Litters of puppies are often found left in boxes and abandoned in parks, forests, and alongside busy streets. Adult dogs often suffer with untreated diseases and injuries.

As a result, some people see the dogs as a nuisance. Street dogs are often the target of a group notoriously called “dog hunters” who poison and shoot dogs in the streets.

Before the Euro 2012 games in Kyiv, thousands of dogs were poisoned in an effort to “clean up the streets” before the tourists arrived. Currently, all dogs left on the street are still at risk of being targeted by exterminators. Without the work of independent volunteers and private shelters, street dogs would have little to no hope for a better life.

There are many animal lovers who use their own time, money and resources to rescue injured dogs and abandoned puppies. These are regular citizens who are barely scraping by; dog enclosures have been burned and attacked by dog hunters, and yet they keep working tirelessly to save animals.

Why we want to help:

There was not much international media coverage about the mass poisoning of dogs in 2012, and even to this day, calls come in on a weekly basis to animal activists from helpless residents reporting poisonings in their neighborhoods. However, these facts are widely unknown.

Transform a Street Dog formed to bring international attention to this issue and assist overwhelmed animal rescuers. It is difficult to find homes for dogs in Ukraine because of the war in the east and current financial crisis. We created an adoption program to give the dogs and volunteers more hope.

What we do:

* Sponsor at-risk dogs' stay in safe shelters
* Provide vaccinations and medical care
* Sponsor emergency care for sick puppies and injured dogs
* Recruit volunteers and foster homes to socialize dogs
* Search for homes locally and abroad
* Recruit flight volunteers to transport dogs
* Make all arrangements for legal paperwork and transportation abroad
* Sponsor sterilization surgeries

Our goals for 2020 are to find homes for 50+ dogs around the world and to sponsor medical care, sterilization surgeries and shelter for many more. For every dog that finds a home, we take another one off the street.

We need help from animal lovers like you to save more street dogs from suffering and poisoning. Please Donate.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
