According to the SPCAI, which partnered with the Clean Futures Fund (CFF) on this initiative, all the puppies are playful and well socialized with children, dogs, cats and farm animals. They are in the midst of training and are “quickly learning their first four basic commands.” The agency says the pups — currently named Uki, Yuri, Yaniv, Polly, Minsk, Leliv, Kopachi, Kimovo, Desa, Atom, Cherni, Bela and Chappa — will be delivered to their new forever homes in early July.

A joint release from CFF and SPCAI says, “This unprecedented event marks an important partnership with the Ukrainian government, which has been reluctant in the past 32 years to allow anything to be removed from the nuclear exclusion zone.”
