Adopt Archi (Арчі)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Arch was brought to us at the start of the war. His owners left him in a closed apartment. This is without exaggeration the smartest boy from SAO that I have ever met. It is clear that they took care of him, he is well-behaved. What caused such behavior... He took a long time to come to his senses, we treated his stomach for a long time after prolonged starvation. He arrived weighing 21 kg, now he weighs 57. It's not working to find appropriate owners for him, only want him on a leash, this dog deserves a good life and the same treatment.

Арчі привезли до нас на початку війни. Його кинули господарі у закритій квартирі. Це без перебільшення найрозумніший хлопчик САО якого я колись зустрічала. Видно, що їм займались, він чудово вихований. Що стало причиною такого вчинку... Він довго приходив до тями, ми довго лікували йому шлунок після тривалого голодування. Він приїхав з вагою 21 кг, зараз він важить 57. Знайти відповідних господарів йому не виходить, лише на ланцюги хочуть, цей пес заслуговує на хороше життя і такє ж саме відношення. Прекрасний пес, без перебільшення

About Archi (Арчі)

What life with Archi (Арчі) looks like

Archi (Арчі) is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Dnipro in Ukraine.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Frequently asked

Adopting Archi (Арчі), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Archi (Арчі)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Paw Dnipro handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Archi (Арчі) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Archi (Арчі) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Paw Dnipro 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 Archi (Арчі) 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 Archi (Арчі) 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 Happy Paw Dnipro early rather than rehoming privately; they know Archi (Арчі) 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.
