Bandit (Бандит)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Previously, Bandit was a pet dog living in Toretsk in Donetsk region. But his animal owner died and Bandit ended up on the street. Afraid of explosions and shelling, the puppy fell into a well, where kind volunteers found him after 1.5 weeks. Thus, the dog came under the care of the animal shelter Mokri Nosy in Poltava. During the examination, the veterinarian diagnosed Bandit with exhaustion, heart failure, anemia, and piroplasmosis. Help us save the fluffy one from the misfortunes that fate has thrown at him. The approximate cost of the dog's treatment is 11500 hryvnias.

Раніше Бандит був домашнім собакою і жив у Торецьку на Донеччині. Але його господар тварини помер і Бандит опинився на вулиці. Злякавшись вибухів та обстрілів песик провалився в колодязь, де його і знайшли аж через 1,5 тижні небайдужі волонтери. Так собака опинився під опікою притулку Мокрі носи в Полтаві. На огляді у лікаря в Бандита діагностували виснаження, серцеву недостатність, анемію та піроплазмоз. Допоможіть нам врятувати пухнастого від тих нещасть, які підкинула йому доля. Орієнтовна вартість лікування собаки 11500 грн.

About Bandit (Бандит)

What life with Bandit (Бандит) looks like

Bandit (Бандит) is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Poltava 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Bandit (Бандит), answered.

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