Lucky trio

When a local resident stopped at the grocery store she came across chaos in the parking lot --- three tiny puppies were running through parked cars and in and out of a shop. With cars coming in and out it was inevitable that one of them would get hit.

 
 

Thankfully she acted quickly -- she gathered up the three musketeers and reached out to Sochi Dogs. With the support of our community, we were able to place them into a foster home, provide them with the vet care and food they needed to grow up to be healthy and strong. Now a few months later these three puppies are old enough to be at the shelter. They just need to get a little bit older and then they'll be ready to find their forever families

New Rescues!

When we saw Pushkin hiding from a large group of community dogs... when a tourist called found Vicky who was covered in ticks running along the railroad tracks… when Jenny showed up at a volunteer’s door… How could we say no?

Meet the newest shelter residents below. We are still getting to know them so keep an eye on our website and social media for more details. All these dogs will get a thorough medical exam, deworming treatment, vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgeries. If you can, please help support the rescue effort and cover their vet bills here.

Water! 

It’s hard to believe but the Sochi Dogs shelter has been around 7 years! Things are getting old so in between rescuing dogs we’ve also been making some major shelter improvements. This Spring we fixed the running water — an essential when you have 60 dogs! The water comes to the shelter from a well that’s 262 feet underground. This past winter parts of the water system kept breaking leaving the shelter with no running water for days. We replaced the two pumps, electrical wiring, and the meter. While it may not seem like a big change, we are all very excited about the new improvements, especially our shelter dogs who know that running water means pool time!
