The first 24 animals evacuated from Oleshky have returned to their owners

Volunteers from the UAnimals organization have completed the examination and treatment of the first 24 cats and dogs that were previously evacuated along with their owners from the occupied town of Oleshky. In total, animal welfare activists have taken 90 of the 105 animals rescued during the humanitarian mission into their care.

This was reported by Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets. 

He wrote on social media that upon arrival, the animals received the necessary veterinary care. According to him, they underwent initial examinations, tests, and ultrasounds.

The Ombudsman noted that animals in serious condition have been prescribed treatment. He explained that among the cats and dogs, some require surgeries, tooth extractions, hernia repairs, and other necessary procedures. In particular, the animals are being spayed or neutered and tumors are being removed—with the owners’ consent. Veterinary passports are also being issued, which many of the animals did not previously have.

The ombudsman noted that among the rescued animals were cats and dogs, as well as four parrots. 

Dmytro Lubinets shared that a dog named Yenot was taken from Oleshky.

“At first, everyone thought it was a real raccoon, but it turned out to be a dog with such an unusual name,” he wrote on social media. 

The Ombudsman also reported that one of the dogs evacuated from Oleshky was pregnant. According to him, after being rescued, she gave birth to four puppies.
