Curbing the Population of Homeless Animals 

At Sochi Dogs our goal is to stop the suffering of homeless animals and we couldn’t do that without the help of our community. To get ahead of the spring puppy/kitten season in Ukraine we partnered with 5 vet clinics in the Dnipro region to spay nearly 1,500 cats and dogs!  Animals came in from all over the region: street dogs and cats from animal rescuers to abandoned pets cared for by neighbors of fleeing families.

If every one of those animals had a litter, thousands more animals would suffer on the streets.  We are incredibly grateful to the volunteers who helped organize these clinics, the vets who worked long hours, the caring folks who traveled long distances to bring animals to be spayed, and everyone who donated to make this a reality. 

Our spay and neuter work does not stop there. The effort required a tremendous amount of work on the part of the vets and volunteers. We are regrouping and hope to be able to make this into a sustainable long-term program.

619!!!

As of this weekend, we've spayed/neutered 619 animals since the start of the campaign on 3/1! On Sunday, people waited in line for 3 hours at one off our partner clinics, and a record of 100 animals were spayed that day!

At each of these events, we see just how much this work is needed. One woman helped her senior neighbor bring in cats that she had been caring for after their family fled Dnipro at the start of the war. Another brought in a street dog that she had been feeding. We can't keep this project going without your support, if you can please consider donating and together we can prevent animals from suffering on the street.

BIGGEST spay/neuter initiative ever!

This month we’ve launched our BIGGEST spay/neuter initiative! The war in Ukraine has increased the stray dog population exponentially. To solve the problem at its root and get ahead of spring puppy/kitten season, we are partnering with 5 vet clinics in the Dnipro region to offer free spay/neuter surgeries for street dogs, community dogs, and anyone who cannot afford the procedure.
