The AAEP’s charitable arm is collecting financial gifts for those providing emergency relief and support for veterinarians and equids in Ukraine.

As the devastation unfolds from the war in Ukraine, many in the equine and veterinary communities have asked how they can help. The charitable arm of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) is The Foundation for the Horse, which collects donations  for those providing emergency relief and support, including veterinary organizations and the horses and animals they care for.

“Our hearts go out to the animals, their owners, and veterinarians impacted by the devastation in Ukraine,” said Dr. Emma Read, president of The Foundation for the Horse and the AAEP. “We are working with veterinary colleagues in Europe to identify trusted organizations who are providing rapid response for equine and animal care in the region.”

“The images and reports from Ukraine as well as the border countries are heart-wrenching,” said the foundation in a statement. “While many residents fleeing Ukraine are trying to take their pets and animals with them, thousands of displaced horses, donkeys, burros and other animals remain behind and, like the people of Ukraine, need your help.”
