San Diego nonprofit helps pets in Ukraine.
"What a good good girl," said Dr.
Gary Weitzman, as he steps inside a room housing Belle, a German Shepard up for adoption.
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.
Recently that mission took him to Poland’s border with Ukraine.
When he saw images of people fleeing from the war, with their pets, he knew he had to help.
"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.

Weitzman took medicine, medical supplies and he worked at a makeshift animal shelter set up in a tent.
His goal was to help as many pets as he could in ten days.
