Update: Ivan is safe at Under the Sun Shelter where he is slowly gaining weight with regular meals. The sweet fella never stops wagging his tail and loves everyone he meets. 

He will need to be on medication for the rest of his life but will get to live a long and happy life thanks to your support. 

Ivan was found wandering war-torn streets in Ukraine with every bone in his body showing and open sores on his neck. He has clearly not had a good meal in a long time and is barely able to stand due to malnutrition. 

The young dog needs emergency care to survive and regain his strength. He has developed rickets from nutritional deficiencies which causes fragile bones, pain, and lameness.

He will need months of medical care, rehab, and nutritious food to recover. Despite everything, there is light in his eyes - he wants to live, trust, run and play, like all dogs his age.

Your support will help him leave this painful past behind and give him the second chance he deserves.
