Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah-Lebanon Conflict

Left without food or shelter

In October 2023, violent conflict broke out after Hamas attacked Israel, and animals were abandoned as rockets struck and people fled for their lives. We knew that countless injured, terrified and forgotten animals would need our immediate help. We teamed up with fearless organizations on the ground – Let The Animals Live (LTAL) and our long-term partner Starting Over Sanctuary (SOS) in Israel, and Sulala Animal Rescue (SAR) and Animal Environment Association (AEA) in Palestine – to rush critical aid to animal war victims.

Ukraine War

We have been working to save animals from the war zone in Ukraine since 2022, when Russia invaded, sparking a devastating conflict that continues to affect countless people and animals in the region. Network for Animals was one of the first animal welfare organizations on the ground, and we are still there providing emergency aid to innocent, four-legged victims amid this ongoing crisis.

Your donations finance rescue missions, critically needed food, shelter, medications and vital veterinary care for the vulnerable dogs and cats of Ukraine. At the time of writing, we are actively working with four partners on the ground in Ukraine to reach animal war victims in desperate need.

Afghanistan

NOWZAD

For years, Network for Animals has stood alongside NOWZAD, Afghanistan’s oldest animal rescue organisation, helping them continue lifesaving work in one of the most dangerous and challenging environments in the world. As war, poverty and Taliban rule have devastated the country, NFA has provided vital funding to support food, shelter and urgent veterinary care for dogs, cats, donkeys and horses rescued from abuse, neglect and conflict zones.

When NOWZAD faced the devastating loss of its original sanctuary, NFA supporters stepped in to help fund the rebuilding of a new, permanent sanctuary and hospital. Thanks to this support, NOWZAD can continue delivering emergency treatment, vaccination and sterilisation programmes, and long-term care — giving thousands of animals hope for a safer, more dignified life.

Israel

Let the Animals Live (LTAL)

Network for Animals supports Let the Animals Live (LTAL) in Israel by funding emergency rescue operations, food deliveries and veterinary care for animals affected by conflict and displacement. When violence forces families to flee and animals are left behind, NFA ensures LTAL has the resources needed to respond quickly and save lives.

Through NFA’s support, LTAL has been able to evacuate animals from high-risk areas, deliver pet food into disaster zones and provide shelter and medical treatment for hundreds of dogs, cats, donkeys and horses. Together, we make sure that even in the most dangerous circumstances, animals are not forgotten.

Lebanon

Mashala Shelter

Network for Animals partners with Mashala Shelter to support animals caught in the devastating conflict in southern Lebanon. As war escalates and resources become scarce, NFA has provided emergency funding for food, medical supplies and rescue operations — helping Mashala Shelter continue caring for hundreds of abandoned and injured dogs and cats.

When bombs destroyed the shelter founder’s home and rescue vehicle, leaving animals stranded and vulnerable, NFA stepped in to help replace critical supplies and support urgent rescue and feeding missions. This support ensures that even amid immense danger, Mashala Shelter can keep saving lives and giving animals a chance at survival.

West Bank

Animal and Environment Association (AEA)

Network for Animals has supported the Animal and Environment Association (AEA) for years, helping sustain the only animal shelter in the West Bank. In a region marked by conflict, shortages and instability, NFA funding helps provide food, shelter and veterinary care for hundreds of abandoned, sick and injured cats and dogs.

NFA also supports AEA’s international relocation and adoption efforts, helping animals escape war zones and find safety abroad. Through this partnership, Network for Animals reduces suffering on the streets, eases pressure on the shelter and gives rescued animals the chance to begin new lives far from conflict.

Ukraine

Animal Guardians

In Ukraine’s active war zones, Network for Animals supports a network of extraordinary Animal Guardians — often elderly or disabled individuals who risk their lives daily to feed and protect abandoned animals. With little income and living in damaged homes, these guardians would not be able to continue without outside help.

Through direct financial assistance from NFA supporters, the guardians receive food, emergency supplies and essential equipment. This support allows them to keep hundreds of dogs and cats alive under relentless bombardment — and ensures animals are not left to starve when entire communities are forced to flee.

Animal Rescue Kharkiv (ARK)

ARK rescues animals from the frontline. Most of the animals they save are dogs and cats, but at the time of writing, they have also rescued 70 goats, 40 sheep, 10 horses, some rabbits, chickens, ducks and a pregnant donkey.

It has a cat haven in Kharkiv where volunteers care for 236 cats rescued from the war zone, with only one vet to care for them.

When all five of ARK’s vehicles were rendered inoperable because of the war, NFA provided funds for a new animal ambulance. When the Russians destroyed that ambulance by a drone attack, we funded a replacement vehicle. When that too was damaged in an attack while we were rescuing seven dogs, we funded the repairs. All the dogs were saved.

Dr. Pavlina Harasym, frontline medical care

Dr. Pavlina Harasym, a veterinarian based in Lviv, risks her life to rescue animals from the war zone, saving lives while bullets fly and bombs explode around her. A Russian sniper even tried to kill her while she was operating on a cat rescued from a bombed-out building. She kept working and saved the cat. To support her incredible work, we purchased an animal ambulance to help her save even more lives, and provide funds to feed the animals she rescues.
