Chained to a kennel in a garden in Ukraine, Jack endured a life of neglect and misery—until the day he was rescued

 

Jack

When Jack was first discovered by one of our Ukraine-based volunteer partners, he was living in heartbreaking conditions. Chained tightly to the top of his doghouse, he had no access to food or water and was dangerously malnourished. Jack’s spirit seemed broken, but his story was about to change.

In Jack’s village, most homes don’t have fencing, which means many dogs are left chained to prevent them from wandering. Unchained dogs often face severe consequences, including punishment or even death, for straying into gardens or harming livestock. But Jack was lucky — his owners, recognizing his need for a better life, agreed to let our volunteer find him a new home.
 
Thanks to the support of our rescue community, Jack was brought into foster care, where he experienced love and freedom for the very first time. Still underweight and frail, he received a full veterinary check-up and the care he so desperately needed. Despite his difficult past, Jack’s gentle and resilient nature quickly began to shine.
