It is nice that the Russians are setting up a shelter - step one, and maybe they will start getting the spay/neuter message out to the populace. Attention will soon turn from Sochi, but that at least is some good that can come out of it. And some of the dogs and pups are getting homes!

I know there will be people who object to saving dogs so far away when there are also dogs dying in shelters here for lack of homes, but am glad these athletes saw an immediate need and are addressing it.

Kast I knew, Russia had banned all foreign adoptions ... and probably has them hidden away off the streets for these two weeks ...

I think it is very nice that the promise of the statue of liberty is also true for some of these doggies. It is good that prominent athletes take care of them- it focusses attention and it shows a good example.
