Kilka (Кілька)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Kilia — a small puppy with a very tough history behind her. She is about a year old and was evacuated from Pokrovka. This spring, her rescue had a very scary price. Kilia herself ran up to the evacuation vehicle in search of food. She had large open wounds on her ears, and it was immediately clear: her puppies were somewhere left behind. At the time of the evacuation, she was a devoted mother. At that moment, the drone attack began. The rescuers simply picked up Kilia and threw her into the car because there was no time. I was driving to meet the cat evacuation in Dnipro. And there, in the car, I saw Kilia. A small puppy with nowhere else to go. That’s how she ended up in our animal shelter. I pleaded to go back and try to find the puppies. There was almost no other option. Unfortunately, we still don’t know what happened to her babies. Kilia is very small, weighing up to 5 kg, a bit larger than a kitten. Active, gentle, affectionate, and barking. She had a strong mark from a collar, so, most likely, she previously lived on a chain. Despite everything she’s been through, Kilia is very good. She gets along with other dogs, is well-behaved with cats, and loves children. She would be an ideal fit for a private home. Whether she is trained for apartment life and an outdoor run, it’s hard to say; it might require a bit of work. Kilia is spayed, vaccinated, treated, and fully ready to move to a new family. She very much wants to finally learn what a safe home and her people are like after everything she’s been through.

Кіля — маленька собачка з дуже важкою історією за спиною. Їй близько року, і вона евакуйована з Покровська. Цієї весни її порятунок мав дуже страшну ціну. Кіля сама підбігла до евакуаційної машини у пошуках їжі. У неї були великі висячі циці, і одразу стало зрозуміло: десь залишилися цуценята. На момент евакуації вона була годуючою мамою. У цей момент почалася атака дронами. Рятувальники просто схопили Кілю та закинули в машину, бо часу вже не було. Я їхала зустрічати евакуацію котів у Дніпрі. І вже там, у машині, побачила Кілю. Маленьку собачку, яку просто не було куди подіти. Так вона й опинилася у нас у притулку. Я дуже просила повернутися назад і спробувати знайти цуценят. Бо іншого варіанту майже не було. На жаль, ми так і не знаємо, що сталося з її малюками. Кіля дуже маленька, важить до 5 кг, розміром трохи більша за котика. Активна, ніжна, любвеобильна і гавкуча. У неї був сильний слід від нашийника, тому, скоріш за все, раніше вона жила на ланцюгу. Попри все пережите, Кіля дуже добра. Дружить з іншими собаками, добре ставиться до котів, любить дітей. Ідеально підійде для приватного сектору. Чи привчена вона до життя у квартирі та вигулу, сказати важко, можливо, з цим потрібно буде трохи попрацювати. Кіля стерилізована, вакцинована, оброблена та повністю готова до переїзду у нову родину. Дуже хочеться, щоб після всього пережитого вона нарешті дізналася, що таке безпечний дім і свої люди.

About Kilka (Кілька)

What life with Kilka (Кілька) looks like

Kilka (Кілька) is a small 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 Kilka (Кілька), answered.

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