Povodog Sochi, home to the many stray puppies of the 2014 Olympics host town, is committing to the cause of adoption after expanding their facility. Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, has been funding the shelter since realizing the magnitude of the problem and estimates that there are nearly 4,000 stray dogs in the Sochi area, which lacks the infrastructure to support all of the potential adoptions. "We realized it was such a big problem and that it was going to make a problem for police and law enforcement to control," Deripaska told NBC News. "That’s how we decided that maybe we should intervene and support a program on a larger scale." For Americans hoping to adopt from Povodog, the organization is still figuring out the details.
