Kira (Кіра)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

This is Kira, an elderly Labrador whose life changed in an instant. She had a master, but one day he was gone... And Kira was left all alone. When food was brought to her, Kira didn't eat it all at once — she carefully hid some behind the shed. She was afraid that then there would be no food and she would have to go hungry again. Today, Kira already knows that she will be fed. But what she misses most is not food. She misses a person nearby, a quiet home, gentle hands, and the feeling that she is needed again. She is very gentle, calm, friendly to people, and genuinely happy with every moment of attention. Despite her age, Kira still has a lot of love to give to someone who opens their heart to her. 💛 Old age is not a verdict. Elderly dogs love no less, and often even more. They infinitely value the chance to be at home. Maybe you will become the person Kira has been waiting for her whole life.

Це Кіра — старенька лабрадорка, життя якої змінилося в одну мить. У неї був господар, але одного дня його не стало… І Кіра залишилася зовсім сама. Коли їй приносили їжу, Кіра не з’їдала все одразу — частину обережно ховала за будкою. Вона боялася, що потім їжі не буде і знову доведеться голодувати. Сьогодні Кіра вже знає, що її нагодують. Але найбільше їй бракує не їжі. Їй бракує людини поруч, тихого дому, лагідних рук і відчуття, що вона знову комусь потрібна. Вона дуже лагідна, спокійна, доброзичлива до людей і щиро радіє кожній хвилині уваги. Попри свій вік, Кіра ще має багато любові, яку готова віддати тому, хто відкриє для неї своє серце. 💛 Старість — не вирок. Старенькі собаки люблять не менше, а часто навіть сильніше. Вони безмежно цінують шанс бути вдома. Можливо, саме ви станете для Кіри тією людиною, на яку вона чекала все життя.

About Kira (Кіра)

What life with Kira (Кіра) looks like

Kira (Кіра) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Dnipro 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 Kira (Кіра), answered.

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