Lapa (Лапа)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

They handed her over to the animal shelter as a puppy - "defective". She has unformed toes on one paw. She grew up with us, and in 6 years at the animal shelter she has turned grey... She has heard the phrase many times that an invalid should not be... In reality, this small defect in no way hinders Lapi from running! She walks perfectly, runs, and cuddles❤️ Maybe someone's heart will respond, and Lapi will manage to leave the walls of the animal shelter🙏 Spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites.

Такою її здали в притулок ще цуценям - «бракованою». Має несформовані пальчики на одній лапці😔 Вона в нас виросла, і за 6 років життя в притулку встигла посивіти… Не раз чула фразу, що інваліда не треба… Насправді, ця малесенька вада аж ніяк не заважає Лапі гасати! Вона прекрасно ходить, бігає, обіймається❤️ Можливо чиєсь серце відгукнеться, і Лапі вдасться покинути стіни притулку🙏 Стерилізована, вакцинована, оброблена від паразитів.

About Lapa (Лапа)

What life with Lapa (Лапа) looks like

Lapa (Лапа) is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast 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 Lapa (Лапа), answered.

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