Dora (Дора)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Dora, a sick, post-plague dog, was brought to us for treatment three years ago. They were supposed to build a pen and take her away. But, as often happens with us, the promise was forgotten. And she stayed with us. If we spend months trying to find homes for young shepherds, you understand, a mixed-breed dog with a minor issue, no one wants her except us. But Dora is a very good dog. We treated her for a long time, and she is almost fully recovered. She has a slight tremor in her head, but it’s not always there. It’s a very small flaw. In other respects, she is a smart, balanced dog, not confrontational, showing excellent protective qualities, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands. Dora is a young dog, about four years old, she is vaccinated and spayed, with a medium to large size, a menacing appearance. In essence, she is an ideal dog, with an intimidating look that will deter anyone, but with a kind heart. We have been trying, unfortunately, for a long time to find good owners.

Дору, больную, после чумки привезли к нам подлечить три года назад, должны были построить вольер и забрать. Но как у нас часто бывает, об обещанном было забыто. И она осталась у нас. Если мы молодым овчаркам месяцами ищем дом, сами понимаете, беспородная , пусть с небольшой проблемой, никому не нужна, кроме нас. А собака ведь очень хорошая. Мы долго ее лечили, она практически выздоровела, остался небольшой тремор головы и то не всегда. Как бы совсем небольшой недостаток. В остальном это умная, уравновешенная собака, не конфликтная, проявляющая отличные охранные качества, хорошо ходит на поводке, знает базовые команды. Дора молодая собака, ей года четыре, она привита и стерилизована, внешне среднего размера ближе к крупному , грозного вида)) По сути идеальная собака, устрашающий вид, отпугнет любого, а в душе ласковая кошечка. Пытаемся, не первый день, увы, найти хороших хозяев.

About Dora (Дора)

What life with Dora (Дора) looks like

Dora (Дора) 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 Dora (Дора), answered.

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