Darius (Даріус)

Mixed Breed · Male

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! Looking for a family! Unfortunately, this often happens – found a puppy in the wild, taken to the animal shelter, looking for owners. But when you find an older dog, no one wants to adopt him. Darious has a code name "spitz." Because he is indeed very similar to a dog of this breed, though much larger in size. Overall, he is a very sweet dog, pleasant temperament, intelligent, friendly, active, and energetic. Friendly to other dogs, tolerant of older children, loves walks, and is very trainable. A wonderful family dog that will give lots of love. Approximate date of birth: August 31, 2017. Coat color: grayish, size: large. Vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, has a veterinary passport.

Київ і Київська область! Шукаємо родину! На жаль, це часто буває – знайшли песика згубу, забрали в притулок, шукали власників. Але, коли знаходиш немолодого собаку, ніхто із власників не рветься шукати його. Даріус має кодове ім’я “шпіц”. Бо дійсно, він дуже подібний на собак цієї породи, хоча розміром набагато більше. Взагалі, він дуже милий пес, приємний характер, розумний, товариський, веселий, активний, лагідний. Приязний до інших собак, толерантний до дітей старшого віку, обожнює прогулянки та дуже слухняний. Чудова сімейна собака, яка буде дарувати багато любові. Умовна дата народження 31 серпня 2017 року. Забарвлення чепрачне, розмір великий. Вакцинований, кастрований, чипований, має ветеринарний паспорт. Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію кінолога/зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.

About Darius (Даріус)

What life with Darius (Даріус) looks like

Darius (Даріус) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dobri Ruky 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 Darius (Даріус), answered.

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