The Fabulous B-Sides is encouraging those attending their June 9 performance at Hermann's Upstairs to make donations. The funds will be sent to PETA Germany, now building shelters in Hungary for hundreds of animals rescued from Ukraine.
Although there is no cover charge, tip jars for PETA Germany will be distributed.
"Our band was chatting about the Ukraine situation and wondered about doing a fund-raiser. Because we're all pet lovers (one of our members has six rescues) we naturally thought about helping animals in need," said lead singer Carrie Young.
"We support the people of Ukraine and want to do all we can to help their beloved pets. We're hoping for a good turnout," Young added.
Since the war broke out, PETA Germany has rescued more than 1,300 cats and dogs from Ukraine. Now, to save even more animals, the group and others are building shelters in Hungary. These shelters, located near the border with Ukraine, will provide temporary accommodations for up to 300 animals at a time.
