Your Puppy Knows Lena

You might not recognize Lena, but we're pretty sure that if you adopted a puppy from Sochi Dogs, your dog will! 

Lena runs a mini-shelter out of her home in Sochi and she rescues stray, abandoned, sick, injured, wounded dogs and cats, she helps moms and puppies, really anyone who needs help, she is there for them. She also helps the Sochi Dog shelter by taking in very young puppies that can't be placed in the traditional shelter just yet. She is the first who shows them that people can be kind and loving and that they don't need to afraid or hide.  She gives them their first bath when they are found in covered in fleas and dirt. She feeds them and cleans up after them, and gives them lots of love. 

Lena is a real hero—she does this day in and day out, no vacations, just out of the goodness of her heart! 

In additional to caring for the animals she tries to find good families to adopt the dogs in Sochi, which rarely happens so many of the dogs she rescues become Sochi Dog shelter residents and some shelter residents who need a little extra TLC spend time at Lena's home. Word has gotten around about Lena's amazing work and people have started using her kindness to drop off boxes of unwanted puppies right at her doorstep in the middle of the night. Below are photos of litter left at her home on July 7. These six girls were just 6-weeks old at the time. Now they are grown, getting their first round of vaccinations. They'll be available for adoption through Sochi Dogs very soon. Check back for details and tell your friends.

Sochi Dogs Picnic 

Saturday, October 7, Sochi Dogs from New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts gathered in Lewis Morris Park for a big reunion!  Dogs sniffed their old shelter buddies, k-9 moms greeted their puppies, siblings wagged tails, and adopters met up with Sochi Dogs cofounder Vlada Provotorova who started the shelter during the 2014 Olympics and who helped rescue all of their dogs! 

Camp Bow Wow, Morris, trainer Chris Wright shared training tips with adopters, like how to hold a leash while you're chatting, the best way to walk your dog, and more. It was a fun afternoon and we can't wait to do it again next year!

See you next year!

Hey, we need names! 

These 3 little munchkins were taken from the street at the beginning of August.  They are doing very well at the shelter.  They were dewormed and got their first vaccination already. Now they need names.  Donate $20 and give a name to one of them. 100% of your donation will go toward medical expenses for these puppies.  Click here to donate and email the name you want to give to info@sochidogs.org.

Hi, My Name is Buck

Hi, my name is Buck!   Just a week ago I lived on the street and now I am at the shelter! I love everything here: people, food, dogs and my kennel.  Thanks to Frank, he did not pass by me. Frank, comes often to visit Sochi all the way from Alberta! I am actually the third homeless dog, who he has found on the street and taken to the shelter.  Thank you, Vlada, Masha and the Sochi Dogs team for coordinating my pickup, a vet visit, and taking care of me.  I am a very good dog and promise, I will be a great companion.

Be in touch, check my page, more pictures are coming! In a few months, I will be available for adoption and I would be happy to be a part of your family!

-Buck
