Some have already found new homes, while others are waiting to be reunited with their owners, who have been found via social media.
A small dog with shaggy fur trustingly put his paw in a volunteer's hand at a Kyiv pet shelter taking in animals rescued from a devastating flood in southern Ukraine.
More than a hundred cats and dogs have made their way to this shelter in an exhibition centre pavilion after being rescued by volunteers in the Kherson region, where the Kakhovka dam breach caused massive floods last week.
Some have already found new homes, while others are waiting to be reunited with their owners, who have been found via social media.
The plight of animals stranded and distressed in floods prompted numerous volunteers to go and rescue them and the Kyiv centre opened its doors to house them -- particularly dogs, since it has large and suitable enclosures.
