Some Dogs Miraculously Defied The Odds To Survive In Chernobyl & They Are Up For Adoption!

Remember the fourth episode of HBO¡¯s mini-series Chernobyl, the new cool show that everyone is talking about?

In the episode four of the highest-ever rated TV show, a team of Soviet soldiers travel to the city of Pripyat to kill all the animals left behind by the families. This was done in order to prevent the spread of contaminating to others.

That episode, and the particular scene in which dogs are killed, is purely devastating for fans. When they still couldn¡¯t get over it, the creator of Chernobyl, Craig Mazin, said that the dog death scene in the show was mellowed down version of what actually happened in reality.

I know that was hard. Just so there¡¯s no confusion¡ª the story of the liquidators is real. It happened. And we actually toned it down from the full story.
War leaves all kinds of scars. These were the things men were ordered to do.

But looks like some of the dogs survived!

Yes, 30 years on, people are still trying to help the poor animals. People who visit the area have been warned to not pet these animals because of the fear that they have radioactive contamination.

But still, there is a non-profit organisation called The Clean Futures Fund (CFF), which is helping the stray dogs find homes.

#DogsofChernobyl FAQs: How does radiation affect the dogs and cats? The biggest inhibitors of their health and life is lack of food, water, shelter, diseases like rabies, predation from wild animals, and protection from the elements during the harsh Ukranian winters. Their lifespan is so short that the radiation is really not a factor. Most dogs and cats in the #Chernobyl Exclusion Zone are under 3 years old. An animal that is 5 yrs old is considered old, even though it's relatively young for a dog's age. This is why we think the work that we are doing with @spca_international is so important. It's work that couldn't be done with these partnerships, and without the dedication of volunteers like Sarah McDonald and Carol Mefford, pictured here with some puppies that they took care of today. #dogsofinstagram #ukraine #vetsofinstagram #spayandneuter #puppiesofinstagram

The dogs are being treated for radiation poisoning. They are also being given vaccination for rabies and being sprayed and neutered, according to a unilad.co.uk report. The survivors can be adopted.
