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.

Meet Tubik!

Tubik is one of the new residents at the Dnipro Shelter, rescued from the recent evacuation effort. If Tubik looks happy in his photos, that's because his rescue is almost a miracle -- soldiers found him at the Druzhkivka-Kramatorsk checkpoint. There isn't a single village or house within a 10-kilometer radius of the checkpoint, meaning he had to run across a minefield to get there.

It's clear that Tubik was someone's pet. We don't know what happened to his family, but we'll be supporting the Dnipro shelter to make sure that Tubik and all the other rescues get the essential care they need. Join us!

50 Dogs Are On Their Way to Safety

In just 30 minutes, a car carrying nearly 50 dogs—30 of them puppies—is expected to arrive at our partner shelter in Dnipro, Ukraine. These dogs are coming from Druzhkivka, a town about 3.5 hours east of Dnipro, from areas where families were forced to evacuate and sadly had to leave their beloved pets behind.

The Dnipro shelter is prepared with travel crates and supplies to welcome them. Sochi Dogs is stepping in to support this lifesaving effort by covering the costs of vet exams, vaccinations, and spay/neuter procedures.

If you’d like to help these dogs and support ongoing rescue efforts in Ukraine, please consider making a donation to the Sochi Dogs Ukraine Fund. Every gift makes a difference. Thank you for standing with us and the animals who need us most.

War in Ukraine: Dnipro Under Attack - The Shelter Needs Our Help

Our hearts are with the Dnipro team today. The city suffered another attack yesterday. Many people are fleeing, animals are being left behind, and there are a lot of injured animals on the street.

Local vet clinics are overwhelmed! The Dnipro shelter is doing all it can to take in and treat homeless animals, including this little girl who was found all alone in the middle of a town plaza.

During the incredibly difficult time, we want to allow them to focus on what matters most - helping animals in need. So we're working closely with the shelter to cover the fees for spay surgeries and veterinary care. If you want to support the Dnipro Shelter during this incredibly difficult time, please consider making a gift to our Ukraine Fund.
