Friend,
I’m writing this with a heavy heart because we’re facing something we’ve never faced before. In just 72 hours, the last safe routes out of Stepnohirsk could be gone. The team is ready to risk everything to evacuate the animals left behind but they need to know they’re not going into danger alone.
Before anything else, I’m asking you to stand with our AWIP-backed rescuers. Add your name right now. Show them that wherever they go, whatever they face, they’re carrying thousands of us with them.
I’ve seen what “too late” looks like. Streets littered with silence where there should have been barking. Empty food bowls and empty crates. Animals so weak they can barely stand. I will not let that be the fate of the dogs and cats still trapped in Stepnohirsk.
When you sign your name, you’ll be telling our team that this mission matters. That their courage, their fear, and their hope are shared by people all over the world who believe these animals deserve a chance to live.
Will you add your name now and let our rescuers know they are not alone?
Over the next 72 hours, our focus will be absolute: getting every animal out that we possibly can. Today, we start with hope and solidarity. Tomorrow, the vans will roll. And every hour between now and then matters.
Please take a few seconds to add your name now. It will mean the world to the people risking their lives and it will remind them that no matter what, they are not in this fight alone.
– Team AWIP
