Shelter Update

Shelter Update: Sochi got a terrible spell of winter weather last week. The shelter was without power and running water for over a week. We had to buy bottled water for the dogs to drink and give them extra food to keep warm. Keeping kennels for 50+ dogs clean without running water was nearly impossible, but Masha out shelter caretake did everything she could, and even dressed some of the puppies in sweaters so they would not get cold. Today is the first day we have consistent power and water throughout the shelter. We are dealing with some residual damage but everything is getting back to normal.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated and sent their good wishes to get us through this tough time! We couldn’t do it without all of you!

The extreme cold has caused water and power to be shut off.

URGENT: The shelter is without power and running water. The extreme cold has caused our water to be shutoff and we don’t know when it’ll be back on. Our shelter dogs got very thirsty and today we had to go out to get bottled water for them. To get through the cold spell we’ve been giving them extra food and we’re going through our supplies much faster than anticipated. Please donate to help us get through this tough time.

Welcome Zina and Barry to the Sochi Dogs family!

This week we rescued Zina (with the gorgeous blue eyes) and little Barry. Zina was looking for food near a dump and Barry was sitting outside a store when we found them. Now both of them are safe and fed at the shelter. Zina even managed to squeeze in a little hair appointment! They are both adult dogs and once they are vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped they’ll be looking for their forever families.

Zaika is our first rescue of 2020!

Meet Zaika (meaning bunny in Russian)! This sweet girl was sitting all by herself outside a hotel. She is only 3 months old and has a small limp. She is ok otherwise, we are waiting until she gets a bit more strength before taking her in to have her leg looked at and possibly x-rayed. Like every dog that comes through our doors, Zaika will receive several months of care before she finds a forever family. She’ll need to be spayed, vaccinated, and possibly require additional treatment for her leg.
