Adopt Buch (Буч)

Male · Senior · 13 years

Bucha was rescued by soldiers and taken to an animal shelter, where he has been waiting for his Human for more than three years. He has a congenital dysplasia, which does not prevent him from living, but requires control. Buch does not know how to play with other dogs and may provoke them. He is selective towards people, may show aggression towards strangers, but the dog is very smart and positive. With any tail, it is possible and worth finding an approach, consulting specialists, and working on it! The boy, despite his respectable age, continues to believe that one day the doors of the animal shelter will open for his family and take him to a better and happy life.

Буча врятували військові та доправили до притулку, де він вже більше трьох років чекає на свою Людину. У нього вроджена дисплазія, яка не заважає жити, але потребує контролю. З іншими собаками Буч гратися не вміє, може провокувати. До людей ставиться вибірково, до незнайомих може виявляти агресію, але пес дуже розумний та позитивний. До будь-якого хвостика можна й варто знаходити підхід, консультуючись зі спеціалістами та займаючись! Хлопчик, не зважаючи на свій поважний вік, продовжує вірити в те, що одного дня двері притулку відкриє його родина, й забере в краще та щасливе життя.

About Buch (Буч)

What life with Buch (Буч) looks like

Buch (Буч) is a large senior dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

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.

Note from the shelter: Congenital hip dysplasia that requires monitoring but doesn't prevent normal life. Selective with people, may show aggression to strangers. Cannot play with other dogs and may provoke conflicts.

🇺🇦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 Buch (Буч), answered.

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