2021 Sochi Dogs Reunion

After the pandemic canceled our 2020 reunion and thunderstorms threatened our 2021 reunion, we were thrilled to see our community together again! Sochi dogs and their families traveled from all corners of the tri-state area to see their old shelter pals.

Thank you to Yvonne Thompson from Alaska for donating to gorgeous quilts, Santa Izzy from the North Pole for donating his time, and incredible photographer Lisa Ward from NJ for donating to the Sochi Dogs Raffle.

For the first time this year we had a craft market with cards and treats from Romy William from Virginia, and felt dog sculptures from Ann Osborne and custom block prints from Leah Hunt.

If you missed the reunion or just can’t get enough, shop the reunion sale here, and contact us to be put in touch with Ann or Leah about their custom crafts. 

Thank you so much to Leah Hunt and Lisa Ward for capturing this special day!

Sochi Dog Families

We love seeing dogs and their families at the reunion! A recent ban on the importation of dogs from 113 countries by the CDC has made it impossible for us to find new adopters in the US. Unless its lifted, next year’s reunion won’t have photos of new happy endings.

Please help us speak out against this ban. Share your adoption photos on social media with the hashtag #LiftCDCdogBan and write to your representatives and the CDC. Click here for a sample letter and contact info. 

Reunited! 

When we say Sochi dogs come to the reunion to see their old shelter pals, we mean it! Take a look at these photos pairings from the shelter in Sochi to the reunion in NJ.  We are so grateful to our amazing rescue team in Sochi and our adopters who make these photos possible.
