Do you recognize this crew?

It’s the Lucky Seven that were just rescued from a construction site a month ago . They are big eaters and they are growing quickly. Hard to believe that just a couple weeks ago they were too weak to even bathe properly. A huge thank you to everyone who helps with this big rescue! We couldn’t do it without you.

The puppies with the special callout are the tripods.

We are without water.

It’s been a long Monday at the shelter! We’re without water again. The hot summer had left the well completely dry, and the town water has been shut off for the entire region. Other parts of the town are getting water delivered by the town however the shelter is so far way and up a dirt road that no-one can get to us so we have go out and get our own water to make sure the dogs stay hydrated. This is our third haul!

Goooood morning from Lulu!

Guess who is excited to go for a walk? Lulu!

Have you ever seen a happier dog? Lulu has been through a lot - she was homeless, survived a terrible accident that help her paralyzed, and had multiple surgeries. And despite all of these hardships she wakes up every day with so much excitement and enthusiasm. This is how she greets Masha when Masha asks her if she is ready to go on a walk.

Let’s all try to be a little more like Lulu.

 
 

What’s in a Crate?

Sochi dogs fly in airline-approved crates to their forever homes. It’s a long journey from Sochi, to Moscow, and then to JFK International Aiport in New York City. Ever wonder what happens to those crates afterward?

 
 

The Sochi Dogs team in NJ sends these crates all the way back from New York to Sochi. This not only helps save costs but also is much more environmentally friendly. If you would like to donate a crate to the shelter or fly your dog we recommend choosing among one of these airline approved pet carriers.
