How do I contact the shelter about Fima (Фіма)?

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 Fima (Фіма) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Fima (Фіма) 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 Fima (Фіма) 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 Fima (Фіма) 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 Fima (Фіма) 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.

Adopt Fima (Фіма)

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! Looking for a family! Fima. A history spanning a lifetime. Fima first came to us over 10 years ago for sterilization. She lived her free life in a familiar city where she was cared for and tended to as much as possible. After 10 years, she found herself back in our hands, this time for treatment. And it became clear: there's no going back. Fima has aged. She's nearly deaf. She sees poorly. And the street that once was her home can no longer be a safe place. Now, the animal shelter is her home. So, rehoming an elderly dog like Fima to a family is almost impossible. But, Fima deserves her people. And they don't necessarily have to take her home. She's gentle and good. She's a little cautious, having learned on the street not to open up right away. But when you become Fima's "own person," she blossoms. She becomes kind, trusting, and every day a little more believes that everything will be okay. Age: 10+ years. Vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, has a veterinary veterinary passport. Weight: approximately 10-15 kg.

Київ і Київська область! Шукаємо родину! Фіма. Історія довжиною в життя. Вперше Фіма потрапила до нас понад 10 років тому на стерилізацію. Вона жила своє вільне життя в знайомому місті де її годували і турбувались, як могли. Через 10 років знову опинилась в наших руках, цього разу на лікуванні. І стало зрозуміло: назад дороги немає. Фіма постаріла. Майже не чує. Погано бачить. І вулиця, яка колись була її домом, більше не може бути безпечним місцем. Тепер притулок її дім. Так, прилаштувати стареньку собаку в сім’ю майже неможливо. Але, Фіма заслуговує на своїх людей. І вони не обов’язково мають забирати її додому. Вона ніжна і добра. Трохи обережна, адже вулиця навчила її не відкриватись одразу. Та коли стаєш для Фіми “своєю людиною”, вона розквітає. Стає ласкавою, довірливою, і щодня трохи більше вірить, що все буде добре. Вік 10+ років. Вакцинована, кастрована, чипована, має ветеринарний паспорт. Розмір приблизно 10-15 кг. Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію кінолога/зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.

About Fima (Фіма)

What life with Fima (Фіма) looks like

Fima (Фіма) is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Dobri Ruky 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.
