Walk a shelter dog in Lviv

As often as you like and have time for. Regularity helps the animal — if you can come every week, ask the staff about sponsoring a particular dog: between your visits it will be waiting for you.

No. Dog walking is completely free.

Yes. At Home of Rescued Animals and Myloserdia the staff will pick a calmer companion for a family walk. Let them know in advance — not every dog is ready for children.

Dry ones: dried tuna, pieces of boiled chicken, special dog treats. Never: chocolate, raisins, onion, bones or sweets. Always ask the caretaker first — some dogs have allergies or a strict diet.

All three shelters accept material help: food, blankets, vet supplies, bowls. Phone numbers are on each venue's page. Regular help matters as much as one-off walks.
