The dog's name is Cherry and she is Skillshots a 22 pound, 5-year-old mixed breed. Cherry was trapped to be destroyed during the culling of the dogs in Sochi, Russia to make way for the Olympics. Luckily a kind-hearted citizen sprung her from the trap and took her to a makeshift animal shelter. Rescue groups from around the world are being called upon to help take in these displaced dogs. POMDR volunteer, Simona Prochazka, MD, was in Sochi, Russia for the Olympics and witnessed the stray problem first hand. She will be fostering Cherry upon her arrival. Cherry will be traveling 1,000 miles from Sochi to Moscow, another 1,000 miles from Moscow to Frankfurt, then 6,000 miles to San Francisco. Cherry will get a vet- erinary exam upon arrival and then be available for adoption. Although POMDR's focus is on helping dogs left behind on the Central Coast, from time to time the organization does take in dogs from international situations on a case by case basis.
