PLEASE HELP US HELP PET OWNERS & DOG-BREEDERS in UKRAINE!!!
As you might know the people behind KYON (Karin & Wally, Adelle & Sean, Elise) have long worked actively to fundraise and help refugees, from the world over.
And NOW it is our own community of dog-breeders and owners who needs us: As long time breeders of Golden Retrievers and Norwegian Buhunds we of course have contacts with breeders the world over… including in UKRAINE. As an example our very own LUCAS (pictured below ) , who has sired many Kyon pups for almost a decade, has a sire who is imported from the Ukraine.
As you all know the situation is now beyond DESPERATE for anybody in Ukraine – and those with beloved pets are truly struggling – and even more so are those who are dog breeders . People are of course refusing to leave their pets behind and some simply cannot imagine leaving with multiple dogs and puppies. Those who remain are resorting to hiding in cellars and bomb-shelters with their dogs and puppies. They are running out of feed and supplies . Some are desperately trekking to the border… hoping to find animal shelters for their dogs.
The situation is now truly desperate and the emotional toll on Ukrainian dog breeders /owners is simply enormous. We cannot imagine the HORROR they are going through each and every day. As you all know- our dogs and pets are always family members!
KYON has now paired up with Catharine Reeves Gross – a fellow Canadian Golden Retriever breeder ( under the Braefield prefix) , who we already have supported for this work , with our personal donations for Ukraine relief . But now we are reaching out to you- our wonderful extended Kyon family- as well as our fellow breeders in our wider dog breeder community. We are asking for YOUR help!
Catharine is sending money directly to a personally trusted source, who is helping making sure *each penny* is being put to good use both in Ukraine – and for those who are managing to cross the borders into neighbouring countries . ALL moneys collected will go to urgently needed feed, veterinary care/medicines and to support animal shelters.
You can send an *e-transfer* to Donate4Ukraine@outlook.com . These funds will go into this separate bank account and Catharine is sending Global money transfers to those who are working so hard overseas to help.
For those that do not do online banking, you can always send Catharine a cheque.
Please make the cheques payable to:
*Catharine Gross* (so she can deposit it), and put UKRAINE RELIEF in the tag line.
