Mitya finds his Forever Home!
After losing his family in Ukraine, struggling at the shelter, and undergoing extensive veterinary care, Mitya is now thriving in his wonderful forever home!
Last winter, eight-year-old Mitya's life was turned upside down when his home in Ukraine was destroyed and his family was killed in the shelling. Mitya was found alone on the street and taken to a dog shelter in Cherkasy. In the shelter, Mitya was upset and disoriented. Unlike the barking and jumping dogs around him, he sat in the corner, head down, as he struggled to adjust to his new surroundings.
Sochi Dogs heard about Mitya's story and knew we had to get him out of the shelter. With all of your help, we did!
Mitya flew to the US and moved to a temporary foster home in New Jersey, where he started to undergo extensive treatment for heartworm. As he spent more time with his foster family, he started to relax and settle into his new routines -- daily walks, soaking up the sun, and sleeping on a soft, comfortable bed. He even started to play with toys!
In June, after months of treatment, Mitya found his perfect forever home in Pennsylvania. Now, he loves to explore his new backyard, play with fuzzy squeaky toys, take naps in his favorite spots around the house, and relax with his new adoptive sister, Plusha. In photos, he always has a big smile on his face.
Mitya's new family says, "We are so thankful to have him here with us. We are also very grateful for the work that Sochi Dogs does for everyone, finding homes, finding just the right people, and caring for all of the dogs."
