Welcome Home Fund

What does it take to rescue a dog from the streets and
help them find a forever home?

A lot of love, courage, determination, and also a lot of money.
Every dog that finds a forever family through Sochi Dogs:

  • Receives a medical exam, deworming and preventive treatments
  • Gets vaccinated and spayed/neutered
  • Tested for heartworm and tick-borne parasites
  • Receives a rabies titer test and international travel documents
  • Is loved and cared for in a shelter or foster home
  • Has a crate and airline ticket purchased
  • Has mandatory CDC Animal Care Facility fees paid for upon arrival

The costs add up quickly ranging in $900 - $1500 per dog! But do these happy endings make it worth it? Absolutely! The new CDC Dog Import Rules have tripled our expenses. We’ve already increased our adoption fees.
If you can, please consider making a donation to offset these costs and make more happily ever afters possible.
