Supporting Ukrainian Animal Rescues
Sochi Dogs is continuing to provide life-changing support for dogs and cats abandoned during the war in Ukraine.
In June, we partnered with an animal shelter in Malchivtsi, a small Ukrainian village. Shelter volunteer Svitlana reached out to us, asking for our help with caring for their 29 dogs and 54 cats. The animals urgently needed wet and dry food and various types of medicine.
Sochi Dogs worked with Svitlana to figure out a plan. We decided to prioritize spaying and neutering the animals in her care, in addition to providing much-needed food and medical materials.
Over the next 1.5 months, we got the project off the ground. We found a local vet clinic that could send someone out to the shelter and coordinated with the clinic's director every step of the way.
Sochi Dogs funded food, vaccinations, and deworming medications for all 83 animals at the shelter. So far, we have also provided sterilization, microchipping, and passports for 13 dogs and 6 cats.
Volunteers in Malchivtsi are continuing to work tirelessly to care for the animals at the shelter, as well as local stray dogs and cats. If you would like to support their efforts and similar spay/neuter projects, please consider making a donation to Sochi Dogs here.
