Ari and Barry, rescued from South Korea, meet in NJ


It all started when someone dropped off these three siblings outside our partner shelter in South Korea. Fast forward a few months and a lot of hard work - and Ari and Barry had a reunion in NJ while their brother sent his hellos from his forever home in South Korea. We will love happy endings!

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
