Lapka (Лапка)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I'm Lapka! They also call me Lady. I was rescued from the shelling in Kupiansk and evacuated to Kyiv. I was scared and exhausted, and I had a wounded paw, which complicated my condition. The girls from URSA took care of me. And already almost 2 years I live in the Center for Rescued Animals. I recovered, came to my senses, got to know other dogs and immediately showed what I am. The girls say that they have never had such refined ladies like me. I stand out among other dogs with my intelligent behavior. Although I have a strong character. Sometimes I can put my kennel neighbors in their place. I long for people and need attention and love very much. And when they start scratching me, I really enjoy it. I was at several adoption events. Everyone paid attention to me, but for some reason no one adopted me. I am ~ 4 years old, weight - 19 kg, spayed, vaccinated and treated for parasites. I am a gentle beauty, ready to surround you with my tenderness and become a companion for travels and interesting adventures. Every comment and repost brings me closer to happiness. So don't hesitate - help me find a home.

Привіт, я Лапка! А ще мене називають - Графіня. Мене врятували з-під обстрілів у Кураховому та евакуювали в Київ. Я була налякана та виснажена, а ще мала травмованулапу, що ускладнювало мій стан. Мене взяли під опіку дівчата з URSA. І вже майже 2 роки я живу в Центрі Врятованих Тварин. Я одужала, прийшла до тями, познакомилась з іншимипесиками та одразу показала, яка я є. Дівчата кажуть, що таких вишуканих леді, як я, ще у них не було. Я дуже вирізняється серед інших песиків своєюінтелігентною поведінкою. Хоча характер маю стійкий. Та іноді можу поставити на місце сусідів по вольєру. Я тягнуся до людей та дуже потребую уваги й любові. А коли мене починають чухати, я кайфую на повну. Кілька разів була на заходах адопції. Всі звертали на мене увагу, але чомусь не забирали. Мені ~ 4 роки, вага - 19 кг, стерилізована, вакцинована та оброблена від паразитів. Я лагідна красуня, готова оточити своєю ніжністю та стати компаньйонкою для подорожей та цікавих пригод. Кожен коментар та репост наближує мене до щастя. Тому не вагайтесь — допоможіть мені знайти дім.

About Lapka (Лапка)

What life with Lapka (Лапка) looks like

Lapka (Лапка) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Lapka (Лапка), answered.

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