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.

Georgia Team, You Made This Happen!

Today is the day! We’re beyond excited to welcome Anora, Darcy, Mia, Kitty, Pony, and Lola to the U.S.!

A huge thank you to our amazing partners in Georgia for making this possible. This incredible team has spent months preparing these girls, caring for them, getting them vetted and socialized, and giving them the chance at a new life. They even woke up at 3 AM to make the long drive from Batumi to Tbilisi to get the dogs to the airport for their big journey.

We are so grateful for their hard work and heart. Because of them, these six wonderful street dogs are now safe and ready to find the loving families they truly deserve.
