Found: The Dog Forced Out of a Nova Poshta Branch in 37°C Heat

Dog Driven Out of Nova Poshta During Deadly Heat Is Now Safe

According to Рубрика — Суспільство: The dog that was forced out of a Nova Poshta office in Ivano-Frankivsk while outdoor temperatures reached +37°C has been located. The animal is now safe, has been fed, and is spending the night at the home of one of the company's employees. A veterinary checkup and vaccinations are planned for the next day. According to the company, after that the dog will be placed with a new family. Nova Poshta has ended its cooperation with the workers who pushed the dog out.

Video from the scene, filmed on August 7, 2026, shows three men driving the dog from the warehouse. One uses a mop to move the animal along, while another, wearing a Nova Poshta uniform, shoves it with his hands. The footage triggered immediate public outrage and intensified discussion about animal protection in Ukraine.

“We have good news: we found the dog. He is currently safe, fed, and tonight he is staying at the home of our employee,” said Nova Poshta co-founder Inna Poperezhnyuk.

The company’s quick response has been widely noted as an example of accountability. The case also underlines how dangerous extreme heat is for animals and why humane treatment should be a priority. Nova Poshta is one of Ukraine’s most familiar delivery companies, so its actions in this situation have been followed closely across the country. After the veterinary appointment, the dog is expected to begin a new chapter with a new family.
