We are pleased to announce that our Public Organization "Society of Veterinary Buiness Owners" (SVBO) has received a new grant to provide assistance to licensed veterinarians working in areas affected by or currently in conflict zones, as well as those who have suffered losses in the war and internally displaced persons.

The primary objective of this grant is to help overcome the humanitarian crisis and provide support to animal owners/caregivers, animal shelters, licensed veterinarians working in veterinary institutions, and, of course, aid to animals.

We would also like to emphasize that obtaining this grant is the result of our successful collaboration with international organizations and sponsors. Without their support, we would not have been able to provide the necessary assistance to our community. We are grateful for their support and ready to continue our cooperation to achieve common goals.

We extend our gratitude to Mightvet and the insurance company Trupanion for their assistance to Ukraine and their trust in our SVBO! With the funds received, SVBO is conducting the project #SaveVets_SafePets, which involves sterilization, identification, and vaccination of cats and dogs through licensed veterinarians, free of charge for end consumers.

Also, during our grant period, we collaborated with our Polish partners from Veterinary Foundation Poland, up to UPAW.

Mobile sterilization operations were carried out in the following cities:

Kharkiv, Zolochivska-8B Street, State Hospital No. 1;

Kharkiv, Povzdovzhna-4 Street (Zhukovsky district).

Ukrainian veterinarians also provided assistance in veterinary medicine in the deoccupied areas, specifically in Cherkasy Tyshky, V'yalyvska Street 27.

In June, our team worked in:

Bezlyudivka village, Kharkiv region, Cooperative Street 45/1.

Chuguyiv city, Kharkiv region, Kharkivska Street 33.
