Update: Ukraine Rescue Missions to Germany

A quick update from one of our Ukraine Rescue Missions to Germany and a huge thank you to everyone who made these happy endings possible! Without your help these dogs would still be in a war zone:

Bim is smiling ear to ear, he is in a foster home and will be meeting an adopter today.

Margo arrived very stressed and in poor health, she is getting medical treatment and decompressing at a small shelter until she is ready to find a home.

Keks found a forever family. He has a favorite green chair where he likes to nap during the day.

CDC Dog Import Ban Restrictions Loosened

We are thrilled to announce that the CDC has loosened its restrictions on the importation of dogs into the United States.

Thank you so much to our partners at the Animal Wellness Alliance who worked tirelessly to make this happen, everyone who called and wrote to their representatives, and signed our petition.

All these efforts have paid off! The new CDC guidelines make it significantly more difficult and expensive to bring dogs into the country, but that won't stop us from jumpstarting our adoption programs.

Rescue Mission: Ukraine

Asya is an awesome dog who needs our help! Asya has been down on her luck: at the beginning of the war Asya’s family left Kyiv and asked their neighbors to care for her, as the war intensified the neighbors left too and Asya was all alone until she was picked up by rescuers. Last week, we found an adopter for her but they fell through. Asya is looking for a home in the EU. Sochi Dogs will provide transport. She is only a year and a half, very outgoing, loves to play, and snuggle. She is terrific with other dogs and would make someone very happy. If you are in the EU and want to adopt please send us DM or fill out an application here: sochidogs.org/dogsfromukraine

Rescue Mission: Ukraine Update

Mikki wants to thank everyone who helped sponsor his trip out of Ukraine! He is safe in a foster home in Germany where everyone is giving him lots of attention. He is going to the vet to get his eyes treated and once he is feeling better, he’ll find his forever home. Thank you! We have ten more dogs just like him urgently looking to get out and we are looking for a shelter or foster homes to take them in.
