Freya (Фрея)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

🐾🌷 Freya - a quiet heroine who learned to live in the shadows, but still dreams of light 🐶 This is Freya. Not young, not bright, not the one who runs to people. She is modest, quiet, almost invisible... And probably that's why visitors never look at her. They seem not to see her. And she just stands beside, listens and ... waits. Throughout her life, Freya has only seen pain. She lived in the bushes, where she became a protection - not only for herself, but also for litters of puppies she protected from cold, hunger and cruelty. She was beaten, thrown stones at, betrayed. But she survived. She endured. And despite everything, she did not lose the ability to trust. One day Freya approached a person who saw in her not a wild dog, but a mother who had tired from war. So she ended up in an animal shelter - for the first time in safety. But here, in this new place, it's hard for her to believe that someone could love her specifically. No one extends a hand to her. No one offers to take her home. And she just wants silence, peace, a warm corner and ... a chance. A chance not to survive - but to live. 💛 Freya is strong. Clever. She has a refined soul. And maybe you are the person who will not be afraid of her silent gaze. Who will see more in her than just an old dog. 💛 If your heart is drawn to silence, to souls that speak without words - maybe she is waiting for you? 📩 Write to us. And may this choice become her new beginning.

🐾🌷 Фрея — тиха героїня, яка навчилась жити в тіні, але все ще мріє про світло 🐶 Це Фрея. Не молода, не яскрава, не така, що кидається до людей. Вона скромна, тиха, майже непомітна… І, мабуть, саме тому на неї ніколи не падає погляд відвідувачів. Її наче не бачать. А вона просто стоїть поруч, слухає і... чекає. За своє життя Фрея бачила лиш біль. Вона жила в хащах, де сама ставала захистом — не лише для себе, а й для поколінь цуценят, яких берегла від холоду, голоду і жорстокості. Її били, в неї кидали каміння, її зраджували. Але вона вижила. Вона витримала. І попри все, вона не втратила здатність довіряти. Одного дня Фрея сама підійшла до людини, яка побачила в ній не дикого пса, а матір, що втомилася від війни. Так вона опинилась у притулку — вперше у безпеці. Але тут, у новому місці, їй важко повірити, що хтось може полюбити саме її. Ніхто не простягає до неї руки. Ніхто не пропонує поїхати додому. А вона просто хоче тиші, спокою, теплого кута і... шансу. Шансу не виживати — а жити. 💛 Фрея — сильна. Кмітлива. Вона витончена душею. І, можливо, саме ви — та людина, яка не злякається її мовчазного погляду. Яка побачить у ній більше, ніж просто старшу собаку. 💛 Якщо ваше серце тягнеться до тиші, до душ, які говорять без слів — можливо вона чекає саме вас? 📩 Напишіть нам. І нехай цей вибір стане її новим початком.

About Freya (Фрея)

What life with Freya (Фрея) looks like

Freya (Фрея) is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Poltava in Ukraine.

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 Freya (Фрея), answered.

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