Ukrainian pet reunions in the UK since March

As Christmas approaches, we thought it was time to look back at some of the happy Ukrainian pet reunions in the UK we've had the privilege of being part of since March of this year.

In many cases, family pets were left in good hands in Poland, Germany or other EU countries, awaiting the relevant paperwork while their owners went on ahead. Animalcouriers then collected the pets and transported them to the UK [...]

A long-awaited reunion with Barsik on Ukraine Independence Day

We were delighted to facilitate a long-awaited reunion with Barsik on Ukraine Independence Day for owner Valya. Valya β€” who's from Pryluky, about 40 miles east of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv β€” is staying in the UK with sponsor Ruth in North Yorkshire.
