Animals are killed or abandoned in war: Karen travels to Ukraine to save dogs

On the way to the dog shelter adopted by her foundation in the bombed Dnipro, Karen Soeters stops in a parking lot. A Ukrainian woman almost bursts out when she hears why the Dutch are there. “You come all this way for the animals?” Then follows a hug. On Tuesday, House of Animals opens a ‘Christmas village’: a hundred insulated wooden houses where displaced animals can survive the winter.
