Dog car for four-legged Rescuers 2.0
Closed
We are fundraising for one more vehicle for dog handlers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
The experience of our rescuers shows the high efficiency of using four-legged friends in rescue and search missions. This is especially true when clearing rubble in high-rise buildings as a result of missile and bomb attacks on civilian infrastructure.
The priority is always to save lives. Time is of the essence. The sooner the rescuers determine the location of a person in need of help, the greater the chance of rescue. This means that the canine team must arrive as soon as possible, and the dogs must be in the best possible shape for their important work.
We will purchase a dog vehicle with 4 dog seats + 6 crew seats. The vehicle will be manufactured in England. Thus, the vehicle will meet all the standards of rescue dog handlers and animal welfare standards in the UK.
The availability of such a vehicle will significantly enhance the capabilities of the SES dog units and help our rescuers save even more Ukrainians.

One more special rescue van for the canine handlers.
Rescue workers from the canine unit of the State Emergency Service of Chernihiv region and their four-legged partners will now be able to reach the scene faster and start search operations, significantly increasing the chances of rescuing those trapped under rubble. The area of responsibility of the canine teams covers the entire frontline Chernihiv region, which, unfortunately, is often targeted by both missile strikes and drone attacks. A rapid response to enemy attacks saves lives.
Incidentally, this van was purchased thanks to charitable contributions from Mazda Ukraine, Carlsberg Ukraine, KLO, Noth Fire UK, and subscribers of Sasha Teren and Synelnykov Yevgen, who helped us in October with a fundraiser for an articulated lift for rescuers in Zaporizhzhia. At the same time, under the Community Initiative program of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which doubled the funds raised, we managed to accumulate a larger amount than planned for the Zaporizhzhia firefighters, and it was this "remainder" that we directed towards the purchase of a special vehicle for canine rescue workers.
We announced "Double Aid for Zaporizhzhia," but we managed to help Chernihiv as well. Great. We don't stop. We continue to help those who save us."
