MINI Ukraine continues to support homeless animals: renovation of the "Big Heart" shelter.
MINI Ukraine, the official importer of MINI vehicles in Ukraine and part of the AVT Bavaria Group, continues to implement social initiatives in support of homeless animals. As part of its partnership with the Happy Paw charity foundation, the MINI team visited the "Big Heart" shelter to personally contribute to the final stage of a large-scale infrastructure upgrade.
The total amount of funding reached UAH 400,000, which made it possible to carry out significant improvements:
- 25 kennels were insulated — for the first time since their construction;
- roofs in 15 kennels were completely renovated, and the outdoor areas were covered;
- in 16 kennels, the floors were replaced, and new partitions and ceilings were installed.
After the renovation work was completed, the MINI Ukraine team visited the shelter to see the results, brighten up the space with colorful paint, walk the dogs, and give attention to every resident.
This is more than just support — it’s care expressed through real improvements in animals’ living conditions. One MINI — many wagging tails in warmth. Let’s keep going together!
