Lviv Animal Center "Lev"

About volunteering organization

Lviv Animal Сenter "Lev" a veterinary sterilization center dedicated to reducing the number of stray dogs and cats on Lviv's streets. We work towards harmonious coexistence between stray animals and city residents, emphasizing pet owners' responsibility and advocating for humane treatment of animals. Our mission is to ensure the safety of our citizens and provide protection for stray animals.

Animals at Lviv Animal Center "Lev" typically stay for 21 days (with provided food), with dogs sometimes kept for 35-60 days for better adoption placement.

Moreover, Lviv Animal Center "Lev" serves as a haven for those interested in adopting a furry friend. With over 50 lovely tails currently seeking families, all animals undergo essential procedures and possess internal passports. We extend a warm invitation for you to visit and get to know these wonderful animals in person! 🙌 If you are interested in adopting a friend, please check Facebook page for more information.
