A Happily Ever-After 1.5 Years in the Making!
When Boston and Jenny were found as tiny puppies on the streets of Sochi no-one could imagine that a ban on the importation of dogs from 113 countries would go into effect by the CDC or that a terrible war would break out. They grew up at the Sochi Shelter and we kept hoping they might get lucky and get a chance to find forever homes.
With some hard work and determination, this fall things started to look up -- the CDC loosened the importation ban requiring additional documents and vet checks for dogs arriving outside the EU making it difficult, and expensive but not impossible for Jenny and Boston to make it to the US.
While their paperwork was correct, there was no way to fly them out due to the invasion of Ukraine. Not ones to give up, we found ground transport, and the duo traveled from Sochi to Moscow through Latvia, and Belarus to make it all the way to Poland where they boarded a flight to New York.
