The president of the San Diego Humane Society just got back from a trip to Poland to care for Ukrainian pets.
Slava, a stray dog sits in a kennel in Poland's border with Ukraine. Slava was saved by volunteers including Dr. Gary Weitzman, the president of the San Diego Humane Society.
It’s just a typical day for Weitzman, a veterinarian and president of the San Diego Humane Society. Caring for pets and making sure they get a good home is his mission. "For these people who have lost everything it’s often one of the two things they’ve got in their hands: Their dog or their cat and a suitcase on the other side. They need these animals. Those kids need these animals," he said.
Saving a stray dog they named Slava, after the Ukrainian victory slogan, was one of the small victories for the team. Weitzman said he will forever be haunted by the pets he couldn’t help.
