Saving Lives Against the Clock in Ukraine

Our partners in Dnipro, Ukraine, are racing against the clock to save animals from a village on the brink of shutting down.

Chaplyn, in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, was once a thriving community home to a large number of railroad workers. In recent weeks, it’s been strategically destroyed. Only 10 buildings remain standing, and everyone has left. The military has declared that the village will be shut down this month, meaning everyone needs to evacuate, and no one can enter.

This spells a death sentence for the homeless animals. They’ll be on the street under missile attacks with no protection or food. 

After three attempts to enter the village, the Dnipro rescue team saved 18 lives, including 3 adult dogs, 9 puppies, two cat moms, and 4 cats!  The goal is to try to get back in to rescue more animals that may have been hiding.

But for now, these new rescues need vet checks, food, vaccines, and preventative medicine before they can be moved to safe locations further west.

Sochi Dogs has promised to cover these expenses. We can’t have costs stand in the way of animal suffering. Join us: Sochidogs.org/ukraine

Boris's Happy Ending: A Rescue Story

Boris was found as a starving puppy tossed out on a busy road in Georgia…

Fast forward a few months, and this weekend Boris said goodbye to his awesome foster family, boarded a private plane, and met his forever human!

Thank you to his patient rescuers and caretakers in rural Georgia, the generous donors who supported his rescue, his loving foster folks, dedicated Pilots’n’Paws Pilot, the Sochi Dogs team and his new forever human!

Isn’t it amazing what can happen when people come together!?

Hope for Homeless Dogs in Supsa, Georgia

We may not have fancy vans or a large team of vets and volunteers, but together we are making an enormous difference. Curious how? Watch the video.

This week, 7 more homeless dogs from Supsa, Georgia, a tiny village of just 247 people, were transported to be spayed and vaccinated before returning to the village, where a local senior helps care for them.

Before Sochi Dogs began working in Supsa, there were no resources to spay, vaccinate, or even feed the village’s homeless dogs. Each year the population grew and the dogs mostly survived on bread.

Thanks to the generosity of this community and the dedication of local rescuers, we’re changing that. Together, we are reducing suffering and helping dogs in some of the most remote places in Georgia!
