Leontiya (Леонтія)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Leo, or as she is kindly called Leontiya, is a real beauty with a very difficult fate. She was found in the city of Zaporizhzhya on the dump - a place where waste from factories is brought - and unfortunately, where some people throw animals. We don't know Leontiya's story: whether she was once a beloved pet, or spent her whole life on the street, and what actually happened to her - we can only guess. Help with treatment came to us from the NGO "BF 'Animal Protection Service' Shans". Leontiya's condition is critical. She has a large scalped wound on her head, neck, and chest. She is now fighting for her life and needs our support very much. 💙 Estimated treatment cost - 13,000 UAH.

Лео, або як лагідно її називають Леонтія, — справжня красуня з дуже важкою долею. Її було знайдено в місті Запоріжжя на відвалах — місці, куди звозять відходи з заводів і, на жаль, куди деякі люди викидають тварин. Історія Леонтії нам невідома: чи була вона колись домашньою улюбленицею, чи все життя провела на вулиці, і що насправді з нею сталося — ми можемо лише здогадуватись. По допомогу в лікуванні до нас звернулася БО "БФ "Служба захисту тварин "Шанс". Стан Леонтії важкий. У неї діагностовано велику скальповану рану голови, шиї та грудної клітини. Зараз вона бореться за життя та дуже потребує нашої підтримки. 💙 Орієнтовна вартість лікування — 13 000 грн.

About Leontiya (Леонтія)

What life with Leontiya (Леонтія) looks like

Leontiya (Леонтія) is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Zaporizhzhia 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 Leontiya (Леонтія), answered.

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