Kama (Кама)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Kama lives in Kramatorsk. After the start of the war, he was left without a home and ended up at the Kramatorsk Animal Shelter. Eventually, the shelter found a family for him in Dnipropetrovsk. Unfortunately, this story did not end happily forever. The people were not ready for a dog with his quirks, so Kama was left without a home again and came to us. When I took him in, he was in a very difficult psychological state. From any strong experiences or emotions, he would start biting his tail and paw. Moreover, these were not just negative emotions. He could also react to positive events. At one point, it reached the point where he would bite himself until he bled. Over the time Kama spent with us, we learned to understand him and work with his condition. Now he is almost completely off medication, and his behavior has become controlled. In most cases, simply shifting his attention and not allowing him to dwell on his experiences is enough. Medication is only necessary when the emotional load becomes too much for him. Despite everything he has gone through, Kama remains an incredibly good-natured dog. He is very smart, understands humans well, and most values his communication with them. Kama adores people, loves children, gets along well with cats and other dogs. He is not confrontational and always seeks friendship and contact. This is a dog for a person who is ready to be his true friend. With a close human, Kama opens up the best. Kama has a lot of love, care, and devotion, which he is ready to share every day. Kama is of small size. He will be comfortable in both a private house and an apartment, if there is a person nearby ready to give him attention, support, and love.

Кама жив у Краматорську. Після початку війни він залишився без дому та потрапив до Краматорського притулку. Згодом притулок знайшов для нього родину у Дніпрі. На жаль, ця історія не стала щасливою назавжди. Люди виявилися не готовими до собаки з його особливостями, тому Кама знову залишився без дому та потрапив до нас. Коли я його забирала, він перебував у дуже важкому психологічному стані. Від будь-яких сильних переживань та емоцій він починав гризти собі хвіст і лапу. Причому це були не лише негативні емоції. Так само він міг реагувати і на позитивні події. У якийсь момент це доходило до того, що він розгризав себе до ран. За час, який Кама провів у нас, ми навчилися розуміти його та працювати з його станом. Зараз він майже повністю відійшов від препаратів, а його поведінка стала контрольованою. У більшості випадків достатньо просто вчасно переключити його увагу та не дати йому зациклюватися на своїх переживаннях. Медикаментозна підтримка потрібна лише тоді, коли емоційне навантаження стає для нього надто сильним. Попри все, що йому довелося пережити, Кама залишився неймовірно добрим собакою. Він дуже розумний, чудово розуміє людину та найбільше цінує саме спілкування з нею. Кама обожнює людей, любить дітей, добре ладнає з котами та іншими собаками. Він не конфліктний і завжди шукає дружбу та контакт. Це собака для людини, яка готова стати для нього справжнім другом. Поруч із близькою людиною Кама розкривається найкраще. У ньому дуже багато любові, турботи та відданості, якими він готовий ділитися щодня. Кама невеликого розміру. Він буде комфортно почуватися як у приватному будинку, так і в квартирі, якщо поруч буде людина, готова дарувати йому увагу, підтримку та любов.

About Kama (Кама)

What life with Kama (Кама) looks like

Kama (Кама) is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Dnipro in Ukraine.

An young 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 Kama (Кама), answered.

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