Ukraine to rescue animals trapped in the conflict - including a dog with a bullet lodged in her spine and a pygmy goat with diseased legs.Jakub Kotowicz, 32, made a trip into the warzone last week as part of a convoy from Przemyśl on the Polish border.In the past fortnight he has rescued around 200 cats and 60 dogs from Lviv, in three convoys.Rescued pets recovering from the trauma included a Sphinx cat dressed in a knitted jumper who loves to cuddle, and a Chihuahua puppy rescued with it’s mum.Jakub plans to keep a pygmy goat kid, named Sasha, which was rescued from Lviv aged two months.Jakub set off from Poland at noon on Tuesday and returned at 3am and says he has not slept for five days.
He said: “All the cats are very stressed, the journey from Lviv is one day and we crossed the border with a diplomatic pass but the queue from Ukraine was very long. “We are preparing the animals for an adoption process. “We bought two cars and paid £12,500 for one.“Sometimes the animals which are in very poor condition will be with us for two or three months.” This comes after the internet went wild for a hero dog helping the Ukrainian military in their fight against Russia.
