Makeshift shelter at Ukraine-Poland border takes in pets stranded in war
CBSN
As millions of people flee Ukraine as the war rages on, many pets and animals have been stranded in the rush for safety. A German organization has set up a shelter at the Ukraine-Poland border to help.
Sonja Mortensen-Dissing, a 53-year-old volunteer from Denmark, told the Associated Press that the volunteers are trying to make the animal as comfortable as they can. All of the animals, she said, are "very traumatized and very stressed" coming from a war zone.
With tears in her eyes, Mortensen-Dissing said the situation is "very hard."
