Help Loki Walk Again

Yesterday was a big day - Loki got surgery thanks to the awesome supporters of our Ukraine and Vet Fund! Loki’s story is heartbreaking, but there is lot of hope. He was found lying on the side of the road, likely hit by a blast wave. His jaw was broken, and he couldn’t walk.

Loki was rushed to DoctorVet Clinic in Dnipro, where X-rays and blood tests confirmed serious injuries to his spine, but also gave the vets some hope because he still had feeling in his back legs, meaning he was not fully paralyzed.

A decision was made to go ahead with surgery to give Loki a chance to walk again. The surgery was a success, but his recovery will be long, and the vet bills are starting to add up. If you can, consider joining Loki’s rescue team to help him walk again.

Delivered! 1,102 Pounds of Food for the Dnipro Shelter đŸ‡ș🇩

We’re excited to share that 1,102 pounds of dry food have been delivered to the Dnipro shelter in Ukraine! This much-needed shipment will help feed the many dogs currently in their care who have already been through so much.

Before it gets handed out, though, the food must pass inspection... by the shelter’s very enthusiastic K-9 quality control team. We’re pretty sure it’ll get a paws-up.

This delivery wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. Your donations allow us to continue providing food and covering medical expenses for animals affected by the war in Ukraine. Thank you for standing with them during such a difficult time.

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.

 If you’d like to help us continue this vital work, please consider contributing. Every donation makes a real difference.   https://www.sochidogs.org/helpukraine

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!
