About a dozen animal activists have taken to the streets of Sochi, Russia to rescue loads of stray dogs after reports the government planned to kill thousands of them during the Olympic Games.

The pair kept some dogs and supplies in their vehicle and puppies in a safe house before another man picked them up about 120 kilometers from the Olympic area.

From there, they were taken to Moscow to various shelters and other new homes.

Alexei is one of a dozen people in the emerging movement of animal activists in Sochi alarmed by reports that the city has contracted the killing of thousands of stray dogs before and during the Olympic Games. Activists have been picking up dogs from the streets and putting them up at their homes or in temporary shelters before finding an owner elsewhere.
