Abandoned: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs
by Katherine Carver

Abandoned: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs is a decade-long project inspired by Carver’s own adopted Shetland Sheepdog, Biscuit, who had been abandoned on a rural highway, terrified and malnourished. Biscuit’s evolution from a sickly and emaciated shell of a dog to a confident, trusting, and beloved family member positively changed Carver’s and her husband’s lives forever. This set Carver on her quest to examine the lives of other abandoned dogs, illustrating how dog rescue gave these dogs a second chance with completely new lives.

Rapha is grateful for all of you!

Little Rapha was rescued from Konstiantynivka with a broken leg. Thanks to this awesome community, things turned around pretty quickly for her... Thanks to the awesome folks at the Dnipro shelter who rescued her and the Sochi Dogs Emergency Veterinary Fund sponsored her surgery and recovery.

Meet our new partner shelter!

We're so excited to welcome a new shelter into our rescue circle! Leona runs a small shelter on the Black Sea, in Sozopol, Bulgaria. It's home to 60 dogs, most of them were found abandoned in nearby villages.

Leona is an absolute superhero who cleans feeds, walks, and takes care of everyone!

Take a tour of the space and meet all the friendly faces in this video:

 
 

Plusha and Mitya.

Plusha was lost in the street in Sochi. Mitya was a heart-worm positive senior depressed after losing his family in Ukraine… today they share a last name and live their best life with a loving family in PA!

Stories like this are what Sochi Dogs is all about. Thank you so much to our rescue partners, flight volunteers, and donors who make these happily-ever-afters possible!
