Save Russia's World Cup Stray Dogs

The Russian government has allocated funds to exterminate the stray dogs roaming the host cities of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The exterminations have already begun, and the clock is ticking!

On May 24, 2018 dogs in Samara, Russia were being rounded up and killed to make way for visitors from around the world as World Cup matches are about to begin on June 1!

These dogs were filmed on the streets of Kaliningrad (a World Cup host city) as of the first week of May, 2018.  These dogs will be removed in the coming weeks and, the WA2S is watching closely.

World Animal Awareness Society (WA2S) will be in Russia from March through July, 2018 to save as many of the dogs as possible and to create world animal awareness about the events unfolding.

Working with local rescues and animal welfare professionals as well as community volunteers in; Samara, Saransk, Volgograd, Sochi, Rostov-on-Don, Saint Petersburg. Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorad, Russia the extended WA2S team will be deployed to identity and save as many stray and homeless dogs as possible prior to the fans appearing in these city's for World cup matches.

Our specific goals are:

1. Working with local partners, the teams will identify as many homeless / stray dogs at risk for extermination as possible, and finding positive viable solutions to keep the dogs alive.

Here's an example with new Moscow dog rescue partner, Bertha Rescue

2. Meet with local authorities to broker life deals for the dogs,

3. Gather useful scientific data - through canine survey of the extent of the stray dog crisis.  Data will be used to facilitate humane - non lethal - resolutions, such as sanctuaries, shelters, through a developing foster network, etc. (The American Strays Canine Survey is a unique WA2S program developed for the American Strays 2030 Project)

4. Help facilitate new homes for as many dogs as can be networked - with world-wide rescue and sanctuary partners. There is already a growing desire by NGO's in the west to help and in doing so go around the gate-keepers setting up to stop such support from the west.

If you are, or represent a dog rescue, foster, adopter, or other animal welfare professional and believe you/they would want to help provide your/their expertise and be featured in upcoming programming about helping in Russia, please contact us.

Tick! Tick! Tick!  Time is truly running out for the dogs of the 2018 Fifa World Cup Russia host cities.
