  (ohoto of "Crmiean Tom") Natalia Popova, 50, continues to travel into war zones where she has already located and rescued hundreds of animals, before she rehabilitates them and finds them a permanent home  elsewhere in Europe.

  Those who rescue street animals and pets in Ukraine abandoned by killed and fleeing owners (though many fleeing owners successfully take their pets with them, not all are able to do that) need prayers -- and donations. They take risks every day -- not only from bombs but also from possible capture by invading Russian troops. However, there ARE some happy endings. Here is one of them . If you are like me, there is little you can do from afar -- but donations CAN help fund the work of those who are near. Please consider even a dollar or two if you can. Network for Animals is one of the few organizations that is able to take funds directly from non-Ukraine sources. And yes, I know it is Caturday, and this is about a dog -- but they rescue cats, too!                                  Sign up for the MSI Press LLC newsletter                           Follow MSI Press on  Twitter ,  Face Book , and  Instagram .
