Havra

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Rescued Disabled Puppy from Litter H – Havra Is a Small Heart That Has Learned to Live in Its Own World. Harra, Hima, and their disabled little sister Havra came into this world in the rain, in difficult conditions, under the protection of their frightened mother Hedra, who did everything she could to shield her little ones. Of six tiny lives, only three remained. Three small puppies who were given a chance to go on. Harra and Hima are cheerfully discovering the world today. But Havra's beginning was a little different! Instead of the warmth of a home, she knew the inside of a plastic waste container, uncertainty, and a fight for survival. And when she finally had a chance to be safe, it turned out her little body was still struggling with something else. Havra shakes. Her whole little body sometimes trembles so much that it makes it hard for her to keep her balance. When walking, she may wobble or fall, but after a moment she gets up again and keeps trying. As if her small body still can't fully obey her great will to live. Havra shows a condition known as Shaking Puppy Syndrome, a neurological sign in which a puppy suffers from involuntary tremors or shaking of the body. The tremor may be more pronounced during movement, excitement, or when the puppy is trying to keep its balance, while at rest it may be milder. This does not mean Havra cannot be happy. It does not mean she cannot explore the world. And it certainly does not mean she does not deserve a future. Quite the opposite. Every day Havra proves what incredible willpower to live she has inside her. She falls and gets up. She wobbles? She tries again. Something doesn't come as easily to her as to the others? That's fine. Havra does not give up. And perhaps that is exactly why we cannot look at her as just a label, a disabled puppy. We see Havra: a small, cheerful soul who wants to live, play, explore, be loved, and belong to a family. We cannot yet predict exactly what her future will be. With neurological symptoms, it is important to monitor development and, as needed, undergo further veterinary examinations. We do not want to promise her things we cannot know. But we do want to give her what we can give her already today: safety, care, patience, and a chance. Havra may not always walk exactly like the others. But who says she has to? Havra's path may be a little unsteady, and she may need more support and patience. Yet it can still lead to the most beautiful goal of all: a home of her own. For Havra, with her forever wagging little tail, we will be looking for a family that is not frightened by her differences and can handle the stares of others. A family that will not see a problem, but a little girl who, despite her disability, wants to live life to the fullest. A family that will not pity her, but will love her. Havra certainly does not need compassion for a single day. Havra needs a family for her whole life. Because adopting a rescued puppy is not a decision for a few months. It is a commitment for many years: in health, in old age, in joy, and in the days when she will need more care. Havra has never had a home of her own, and we want to find one where her disability will not be the reason someone turns her away, but a part of her story that her family accepts along with everything else. Havra is expected to be of medium size as an adult, and neutering is required when she reaches adolescence. Please share Havra's story, because even small trembling paws can lead to great happiness, finding a suitable family and a future. Havra can also be supported financially, for veterinary procedures and food. SNP 21, 811 01 Bratislava FIO CZ: 2201868518/2010 SWIFT/.s., V Celnici 1028/10, 117 21 Praha 1

Zachránené handicap šteniatko z vrhu H – Havra je malé srdiečko, ktoré sa naučilo žiť vo svojom vlastnom svete. Harra, Hima a ich handicapovaná sestrička Havra prišli na tento svet v daždi, v neľahkých podmienkach a pod ochranou vystrašenej mamy Hedry, ktorá sa zo všetkých síl snažila uchrániť svoje maličké. Zo šiestich drobných životov zostali iba tri. Tri malé šteniatka, ktoré dostali šancu pokračovať ďalej. Harra a Hima dnes veselo objavujú svet. No Havrin začiatok je trochu iný ! Namiesto tepla domova poznala vnútro plastovej nádoby na odpad, neistotu a boj o prežitie. A keď konečne dostala šancu byť v bezpečí, ukázalo sa, že jej telíčko bojuje ešte s niečím ďalším. Havra sa trasie. Celé jej telíčko sa občas roztrasie tak, že jej robí problém udržať stabilitu. Pri chôdzi môže zakolísať, spadnúť, no o chvíľu sa opäť postaví a skúša ďalej. Ako keby jej malé telo ešte nevedelo úplne poslúchať jej veľkú chuť žiť. U Havry sa prejavuje stav označovaný ako Shaking Puppy Syndrome – syndróm trasúceho sa šteniatka. Ide o neurologický príznak, pri ktorom šteniatko trpí mimovoľným trasom alebo chvením tela. Tras môže byť výraznejší pri pohybe, vzrušení alebo keď sa šteniatko snaží udržať rovnováhu, zatiaľ čo v pokoji môže byť slabší. Neznamená to, že Havra nevie byť šťastná. Neznamená to, že nemôže objavovať svet. A už vôbec to neznamená, že si nezaslúži budúcnosť. Práve naopak. Havra každý deň dokazuje, akú neuveriteľnú vôľu žiť v sebe má. Spadne a postaví sa. Zakolíše sa ? Skúsi to znova. Niečo jej nejde tak ako ostatným ? Nevadí. Havra sa nevzdáva. A možno práve preto sa na ňu nedokážeme pozerať ako na nálepku s označením handicapované šteniatko. Vidíme Havru. Malú, veselú dušičku, ktorá chce žiť, hrať sa, spoznávať, byť milovaná a patriť rodinke. Jej budúcnosť zatiaľ nevieme presne predpovedať. Pri neurologických prejavoch je dôležité sledovanie vývoja a podľa potreby ďalšie veterinárne vyšetrenia. Nechceme jej sľubovať, čo nevieme. Chceme jej však dať to, čo jej môžeme dať už dnes bezpečie, starostlivosť, trpezlivosť a šancu. Havra možno nebude vždy kráčať presne tak ako ostatní. Ale kto povedal, že musí ? Možno bude cesta Havry trochu roztrasená, možno bude potrebovať viac podpory a trpezlivosti. No aj tak môže viesť k tomu najkrajšiemu cieľu a to k vlastnému domovu. Pre Havru s večne vrtiacím chvostíkom budeme hľadať rodinku, ktorá sa nezľakne jej odlišnosti a zvládne pohľady okolia. Rodinku, ktorá nebude vidieť problém, ale malé dievčatko, ktoré napriek svojmu handicapu chce žiť naplno. Rodinku, ktorá ju nebude ľutovať, ale bude ju milovať. Havra istotne nepotrebuje súcit na jeden deň. Havra potrebuje rodinku na celý život. Pretože adopcia zachráneného šteniatka nie je rozhodnutie na pár mesiacov. Je to záväzok na dlhé roky – v zdraví, v starobe, v radosti aj v dňoch, keď bude potrebovať viac starostlivosti. Havra svoj domov nikdy nemala a my jej chceme nájsť taký, v ktorom nebude jej handicap dôvodom, prečo ju niekto odmietne, ale súčasťou jej príbehu, ktorú jej rodinka prijme spolu so všetkým ostatným. U Havry sa v dospelosti odhaduje stredný vzrast a podmienkou v čase dospievania je kastrácia. Prosíme zdieľajte príbeh Havry, pretože aj malé roztrasené labky môžu smerovať k veľkému šťastiu nájdeniu vhodnej rodinky a budúcnosti. Havru je možné podporiť aj finančne, na veterinárne úkony a stravu. SNP 21, 811 01 Bratislava FIO CZ: 2201868518/2010 SWIFT/.s., V Celnici 1028/10, 117 21 Praha 1

About Havra

What life with Havra looks like

Havra is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Malá farma in Slovakia.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇸🇰Adopting from Slovakia

Slovak rescue groups coordinate cross-border transport with European partners. Animals are often chipped and vaccinated; sterilization is sometimes included for adults and arranged after adoption for puppies and kittens. Confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Havra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Havra?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Malá farma handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Havra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Havra if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Malá farma whether they will for Havra, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Havra already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Malá farma lists Havra as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Malá farma, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Havra isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Malá farma about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Havra 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 (SK). 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.
