🐾 What a journey for beautiful Romashka.
Rescued frightened and desperately thin from war-torn Ukraine, Romashka has now made the journey to Ireland where a loving new home is waiting for her.
Behind every rescue is a story and thankfully this one has a very happy new chapter.
Wishing Romashka a wonderful life here in Ireland. ❤️🇮🇪🐾

She finally found peace and a family of her own.
