Aza (Аза)

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Azha — an old schnauzer from Oryhova, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. She is 10 years old. Perhaps this is one of the stories that harshly turned me into reality and showed how people can be. During a forced evacuation due to active combat operations, the family left, leaving the dog locked inside the house. Without food, without water, without heating. This story was discovered by volunteers by chance. Together with people from Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Kyiv, an evacuation of the dogs was organized. Sadly, one of the dogs, a volunteer found, was already dead. She simply did not wait for help. Our animal shelter took in the dogs after the evacuation. Eventually, some went further to Kyiv, but Azha we kept because she needed treatment. Azha is a very charismatic old schnauzer. She had a severe chronic otitis, with pus literally oozing from her ears. Due to chronic inflammation, her eardrum was damaged, so she hears worse in her left ear. The treatment was very difficult. There was resistance to antibiotics, and even the cytological drugs did not work. Now Azha feels much better. She is active, very lively for her age, adventurous, funny, and always wants to be at the center of attention. She is one of those dogs who is always jumping at any movement. Despite her age, Azha can become a great family member. She is very lively in character and very much wants human attention. Because of her age, we did not spay her. But Azha is fully vaccinated and treated. We do not want Azha to spend the rest of her life in an animal shelter after everything she has gone through. We really want to find people for whom her life will truly be important.

Аза — стара таксочка з Оріхова, Запорізька область. Їй 10 років. Мабуть, це одна з історій, яка дуже жорстко повернула мене в реальність і вкотре показала, якими можуть бути люди. Під час примусової евакуації через активні бойові дії сім’я виїхала, залишивши собак закритими в будинку. Без їжі, без води, без опалення. Про цю історію випадково дізналися волонтери. Разом із людьми із Запоріжжя, Дніпра та Києва була організована евакуація собак. На жаль, одну собачку волонтери знайшли вже мертвою. Вона просто не дочекалася допомоги. Наш притулок прийняв собак після евакуації. Згодом частина поїхала далі до Києва, але Азу ми залишили у себе, бо їй було необхідне лікування. Аза — дуже харизматична стара таксочка. У неї був сильний гнійний отит, із вушка буквально витікав гній. Через хронічне запалення була пошкоджена барабанна перетинка, тому на ліве вушко вона чує гірше. Лікування було дуже складним. Була резистентність до антибіотиків, і навіть препарати, які мали працювати по цитології, не давали результату. Зараз Аза значно краще себе почуває. Вона активна, дуже жвава для свого віку, азартна, смішна і всюди хоче бути в центрі уваги. Вона з тих собак, які завжди за будь-який двіж і кипіш. Попри свій вік, Аза чудово може стати членом родини. Вона дуже жива по характеру й дуже хоче уваги людини. Через вік ми не стерилізували її. Але Аза комплексно вакцинована та оброблена. Ми дуже не хочемо, щоб після всього пережитого вона так і залишилася доживати життя у притулку. Дуже хочеться знайти для неї людей, для яких її життя буде справді важливим.

About Aza (Аза)

What life with Aza (Аза) looks like

Aza (Аза) is a small 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.

🇺🇦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 Aza (Аза), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aza (Аза)?
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 Aza (Аза) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aza (Аза) 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 Aza (Аза) 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 Aza (Аза) 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 Aza (Аза) 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.
