The Home for Rescued Animals was previously a home for wild animals and strays but since the fighting broke out they have taken in more animals from those fleeing the violence.

Pets that are left here will get the chance to go to safety in Latvia, thanks to the help of Rasma Krecia, a volunteer from Latvia.
