The Work Never Stops in Dnipro

Last night, our partners in Dnipro welcomed two transports of animals from the Eastern Dnipro and Donetsk regions: 15 adult dogs and 27 tiny puppies. Some were community dogs left behind on the streets, while others were family pets whose owners were forced to flee their homes. Right now, some are in quarantine at the Dnipro shelter, while others are at the vet receiving immediate care. All of them will be examined, dewormed, vaccinated, and given the treatment they desperately need.

With your help, Sochi Dogs will be supplying vaccinations, food, deworming medication, and emergency medical treatment to get them on the road to recovery. Once they’re healthy and cleared, the Dnipro team will work to find them homes locally or send them to the rescue partners further west in Ukraine. But this first step is absolutely vital to give them a chance at a happy, healthy life with people who will love them, even in the midst of a horrific war.

Thank you for being there for them. Together, we are giving them hope. Donate to Help the Dogs of Ukraine

Help Loki Walk Again

Yesterday was a big day - Loki got surgery thanks to the awesome supporters of our Ukraine and Vet Fund! Loki’s story is heartbreaking, but there is lot of hope. He was found lying on the side of the road, likely hit by a blast wave. His jaw was broken, and he couldn’t walk.

Loki was rushed to DoctorVet Clinic in Dnipro, where X-rays and blood tests confirmed serious injuries to his spine, but also gave the vets some hope because he still had feeling in his back legs, meaning he was not fully paralyzed.

A decision was made to go ahead with surgery to give Loki a chance to walk again. The surgery was a success, but his recovery will be long, and the vet bills are starting to add up. If you can, consider joining Loki’s rescue team to help him walk again.

Delivered! 1,102 Pounds of Food for the Dnipro Shelter 🇺🇦

We’re excited to share that 1,102 pounds of dry food have been delivered to the Dnipro shelter in Ukraine! This much-needed shipment will help feed the many dogs currently in their care who have already been through so much.

Before it gets handed out, though, the food must pass inspection... by the shelter’s very enthusiastic K-9 quality control team. We’re pretty sure it’ll get a paws-up.

This delivery wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. Your donations allow us to continue providing food and covering medical expenses for animals affected by the war in Ukraine. Thank you for standing with them during such a difficult time.

From Evacuation to Care: July Spay/Neuter Updates

It may be summer, but our sterilization mission in Ukraine doesn't take a break.

In July, most of the dogs spayed and neutered were from several recent evacuation trips. We firmly believe this is the only real way to control the stray population and prevent the suffering of dogs living on the streets.

 If you’d like to help us continue this vital work, please consider contributing. Every donation makes a real difference.   https://www.sochidogs.org/helpukraine
