Alfa (Альфа)

Female · Adult · 8 years

ALPHA is looking for a home🖤 Her life could have ended at the moment when the people she loved for all these years decided she was no longer needed. The owners sold the land, gathered their things, and left for abroad. And they left their two dogs, Alpha and Beta, behind. For them, they even made the terrible decision to "put them to sleep" because they were no longer needed… But Alpha really wants to live. And despite everything, she still believes in people. She is an incredibly gentle, calm, and affectionate girl. Alpha is no longer a little puppy for which there are long lines. But it is precisely such adult dogs that are loved especially strongly and devotedly. They value a home, warmth, and a person more than anything in the world. We are pleading with you to give Alpha a chance to live out her years not in an animal shelter, but at home. By her side, someone who will never leave her.

АЛЬФА шукає дім🖤 Її життя могло закінчитися в той момент, коли люди, яких вона любила всі ці роки, вирішили, що вона більше не потрібна. Господарі продали землю, зібрали речі та поїхали за кордон. А двох своїх собак - Альфу та Бету просто залишили позаду. Для них навіть озвучили страшне рішення: “приспати”, бо вони нікому не потрібні… Та Альфа дуже хоче жити. І попри все, вона досі вірить людині. Вона неймовірно ласкава, спокійна та контактна дівчинка. Альфа вже не маленьке цуценя, за якими стоять черги. Але саме такі дорослі собаки люблять особливо сильно та віддано. Вони цінують дім, тепло і людину поруч більше за все у світі. Ми дуже просимо дати Альфі шанс прожити свої роки не в притулку, а вдома. Поруч із людиною, яка більше ніколи її не покине. Подаруйте шанс собаці, яку одного разу вже зрадили🙏🏻

About Alfa (Альфа)

What life with Alfa (Альфа) looks like

Alfa (Альфа) is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇺🇦Adopting from Ukraine

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alfa (Альфа), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alfa (Альфа)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sirius Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alfa (Альфа) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alfa (Альфа) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sirius Shelter will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Alfa (Альфа) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alfa (Альфа) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Sirius Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alfa (Альфа) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (UK). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
