Happy Birthday to our friends at Dogs on Road in Georgia!
We are so honored and delighted to be working with this amazing team. Two years ago, Dogs on the Road formed when a group of expats living in Batumi, Georgia, saw the incredible need to feed homeless dogs that were abandoned along a mountainous road that stretches from Batumi to Tbilisi. They purchased food, found volunteer drivers, and set off every week without fail to feed the starving dogs that were dumped and now living along this road. And every week, they are greeted by wagging tails and hungry bellies. While many might turn a blind eye to so much suffering, the Dogs on the Road team finds joy in making the lives of these dogs just a little bit better. They can't save everyone, but they can alleviate their suffering, even if just for one day -- to show them some kindness and love.
Of course, these trips are hard; often, dogs chase after their car, just begging to be rescued. With every trip, a few lucky dogs get picked up, there is simply no room or resources to take everyone. Some of the rescues need medical attention, others just need to be spayed and vaccinated. Sochi Dogs provides support for the medical procedures, vaccinations, and spay surgeries. We've also been incredibly lucky to welcome some of these rescues to loving homes here in New Jersey and the surrounding areas. If you've had a chance to meet a dog from Georgia, you know just how special they are.
Join us in celebrating these dogs and the amazing Dogs on the Road team! Make a special birthday donation to support their work so more dogs can be fed, rescued, and loved.
