Winter is on the doorstep: help us protect Ukrainian dogs from the cold

Doghouse villages for Ukrainian dogs

Help us keep abandoned dogs warm this winter

7 Doghouse Villages built. The 8th is on its way. And we’re not stopping.

Winter is approaching, and thousands of abandoned dogs in Ukraine are facing another freezing winter. Shelters are overcrowded, and many dogs have no proper protection from the rain, snow and bitter cold.

Together, we’ve already built 7 Doghouse Villages for local shelters across Ukraine, giving abandoned dogs a safe, dry place to sleep. Our 8th village is now underway.

But many more dogs are still waiting.

With your help, we can build more Doghouse Villages and give these dogs the shelter they desperately need.

Every donation makes a difference. Even €1 brings us closer to another doghouse.

How does it work?

We work directly with local animal rescuers to find out how many doghouses their shelters need. The doghouses are then built by local producers in Ukraine, keeping costs low and supporting local communities.

We fund 50% upfront and the remaining 50% once the doghouses are completed and delivered.

Animal Heroes is an international emergency aid organisation for animals, based in Amsterdam. We support local animal heroes — people who care for animals in the most difficult circumstances — with fast and efficient emergency aid.

We go where the need is greatest — into the heart of crises, conflict and disaster, to places that are often inaccessible to most. In some of the darkest places on earth, we stand alongside the people who refuse to leave animals behind, bringing emergency aid when it matters most.

We have carried out emergency aid missions in war zones and following earthquakes, floods, and wildfires in Gaza, Lebanon, The Westbank, Ukraine, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece, Uganda, Venezuela, and Nepal.

We also run permanent emergency clinics in Gaza and the West Bank, where we provide animals with medical care and support local animal heroes in their life-saving work.

No, because most goods in Ukraine are a lot cheaper than in Europe and we would incur additional cost on shipping. It is also much quicker to buy supplies locally. Not only does it minimise CO2 emission, but by purchasing goods locally we also support the local economy.

At Animal Heroes, we work exclusively with volunteers who do not receive financial compensation. We also have no offices and do not send printed materials to our donors. As a result, our overhead costs are extremely low.

We do, however, have fixed costs for maintaining our website, software licenses, and bank fees. A maximum of 15% of donations may be used to cover ongoing costs, including administration, project expenses, and bank fees.

However, looking at our track record, we have been able to allocate 90% to 100% of donations to emergency aid, as our fixed costs are usually covered by sponsors.

Yes, we are a registered charity with ANBI status based in Amsterdam. We also have an operational office in Italy and an international team consisting of 28 professionals from ten different countries who devote their free time to helping animals in need. You can download our annual report over 2025.

We always aim to use donations for the purpose they were given. If a specific fundraising goal has been reached, can no longer be achieved, or receives more donations than needed, any remaining funds may be used for other essential activities or needs within the same project.

If a project is completed, cancelled, or cannot be carried out, the remaining donations will be used to support a similar animal welfare project.

In all cases, we make sure your donation is used as closely as possible to its original intended purpose.
