Kevin (Кевін)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

I will tell you about Kevin honestly. This boy was stressed when he was just one month old. Alone in the field, he was for an unknown amount of time and now this child is very dependent on people. Six months have passed, and he still remembers that fear he felt then. He is afraid of new people, new places, a lot of things BUT now I will tell you about him as the person he knows, and I know him. And if you read this far, maybe you are exactly that person. Because you are brave. He is incredibly gentle, no one knows how to kiss and hug like him, no one knows how to put his head on your knees and look at you straight into the soul. When he is on a walk with someone he trusts, he becomes very brave, sometimes too much! He loves to swim and does it like a professional, he knows how to dive, imagine that. He doesn't bother the kittens, he behaves very honestly with them, so he can safely be taken into a family with these furry bosses. It also turned out that he is brave in the clinic, he didn't fear the examination and vaccinations. And he is very good in the car, he sleeps calmly. I know that time in a family where he will be loved will come, and he will open up, stop being afraid and become an ordinary house dog, but with a special attachment to his person, I am sure that will never change. Yes, dear reader, he doesn't stand out either by appearance or by character. He's just the one who needs rescue. One of many, I know. But dogs like him don't live long in the animal shelter. Not because they are taken away, of course not, because their hearts can't handle the constant stress. So if you're looking for not just a dog, looking for a friend, looking for the one that everyone always passes by, then he is special, for a special or particular you. ? Months, vaccinated, treated for parasites.

Я напишу про Кевіна абсолютно чесно. Цей хлопчик зазнав стресу, коли йому було всього один місяць. Один серед поля він був невідомо скільки і тепер ця дитина дуже залежна від людини. Минуло 6 місяців, він все ще памʼятає той жах, який відчував тоді. Він боїться нових людей, нових місць, багато чого АЛЕ тепер я розповім про нього, як людина яку він знає, а я знаю його. І якщо ви дочитали до цього моменту, можливо ви саме та людина. Бо ви як раз смілива. Він неймовірно ніжний, так цілувати і обійматись не вміє ніхто, так класти голову на коліна і дивитись через очі прямо в душу теж. Коли він на прогулянці з тим кому він довіряє - він стає дуже сміливим, інколи занадто! він обожнює плавати і робить це як професіонал, він вміє пірнати, уявіть собі. Він не ображає котиків, дуже чесно з ними поводиться, тому його сміливо можна брати в родину з цими шерстяними директорами. А ще виявилось, що він сміливий у клініці, не боявся огляду і щеплень. І дуже добре іде в машині, спокійно спить. Я знаю, що мине час в родині, де його будуть любити, і він відкриється, перестане боятись і стане звичайним домашнім песиком, але з особливою привʼязаністю до своєї людини, це я впевнена, ніколи не зміниться. Так, любий читач, він не виділяється ні зовнішньо, ні особливостями характеру. Він просто той, кому треба порятунок. Один з багатьох, знаю. Але такий як він в притулку довго не живуть. Не тому що таких забирають, звісно ні, тому що в суцільному стресі їх сердечка не витримують. Тому якщо ти шукаєш не просто собаку, шукаєш друга, шукаєш того, мимо яких завжди всі проходять, то ось він особливий, для особливої чи особливого тебе. ? Місяці, щеплений, оброблений від паразитів.

About Kevin (Кевін)

What life with Kevin (Кевін) looks like

Kevin (Кевін) is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv 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 Kevin (Кевін), answered.

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