Rescue Under Fire: Saving Dogs and Cats from Pokrovsk

If you’ve been following our work, you know we’ve been working closely with the Dnipro team to rescue dogs from the village of Pokrovsk.

Once a lively village, Pokrovsk now has only a handful of residents left—most of them elderly people with nowhere else to go. Many pets have been abandoned, left to fend for themselves.

For the latest rescue mission, we rented a large van and filled it with food to leave behind, along with crates to bring dogs and cats to safety. During the operation, a powerful blast nearby sent a shockwave that ripped one of the van’s doors completely off.

The team left all the food behind and was able to bring back 12 dogs and cats in the damaged van. While it may not seem like a lot, every rescue makes a difference, and every life counts!

When it’s safe, we'll continue the rescue mission. A huge thank you to everyone who has made this work possible! We truly couldn’t do this without you.

Partnering with Communities to Help Homeless Dogs in Georgia

One thing that sets Sochi Dogs apart is that we partner together with local communities in under-resourced areas to help folks caring for homeless animals who otherwise are not able to get assistance.

The latest from our Georgia Rescue: We’re working with Manana, a senior citizen living outside of Batumi, who is caring for 40 homeless dogs! By providing food, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and much-needed vet care, we’re able to support Manana’s efforts and help end the suffering of homeless animals.

A Big Day for Our Rescues in Chongari, Georgia

It was an important day for some of our newest rescues in Chongari, Georgia. Demo, Knopa, Laila, Fifa, and Tihoni all made a trip to the vet for essential care, including parasite testing and spay surgery.

For rescue dogs, these routine veterinary visits are a very big step. Before they can move on to the next chapter of their lives, they need the basic medical care that helps keep them healthy and safe.

We’re happy to share that everyone is recovering beautifully. After all they have been through, it is wonderful to see them resting, healing, and getting the care they deserve.

Demo, Knopa, Laila, Fifa, and Tihoni are all dreaming of forever humans of their own. Each one is now a little closer to that future thanks to the love and dedication of the local team caring for them in Georgia.

We are so grateful to everyone who makes this work possible. Your support helps dogs like these get the medical care they need and the chance to move forward toward safe, loving homes.

Cassie: From Broken Leg in Georgia to a Happy Home in New Jersey

Cassie was found in Georgia (the country) with a severely broken leg. In the condition she was in, she had very little chance of surviving on her own.

Thankfully, she was found in time and brought to safety. Cassie received the medical care she desperately needed. Her injured leg had to be amputated, but she recovered beautifully.

Today, Cassie is thriving. She runs, plays, and enjoys life just like any other dog. She was adopted in New Jersey and is now living a very happy life.

Cassie is one of many dogs rescued through our partnership with Dogs on Road in Batumi, Georgia. Together, we help dogs get the care, safety, and second chance at life.
