There are an unbelievable number of dogs there, and no water. I don\u2019t know what the dogs eat \u2014 no one gives them water. <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">To drink, they have to climb down from huge piles of garbage<\/span> to the bottom of the landfill. It&#8217;s full of rats and flies. So many dead bodies \u2014 both puppies and adult dogs,&#8221;<\/em> said Olha Viter.<\/p>\n<p>Landfill workers and animal catchers also joined the effort. &#8220;<em>The Roma people who work there helped a lot. <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">They handed over all the friendly dogs directly to us.<\/span> We had two catchers with us as well. One tore off his bumper while driving through the trash but tied it back on and kept going,&#8221;<\/em> Olha added.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen of the rescued dogs were taken to the Animal Sterilization and Adoption Center in Boryspil, where 15 enclosures were prepared for them. They will be sterilized at the center.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the dogs were taken to a clinic. UAnimals has currently covered the cost of sterilizing three dogs, vaccinating 15, and provided other veterinary services, medications, and temporary care. They also delivered 405 kilograms of food to the volunteer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-36739 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/a139-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/a139-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/a139-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/a139-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uanimals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/a139.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After sterilization, most of the dogs will have to return to the landfill \u2014 their original habitat.

It\u2019s extremely difficult to find homes for the others.
