Les (Лесь)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

A lonely soul animal shelter. Former pet dog taken from neglectful owners. He is a bit special - probably had rickets as a puppy which was not treated, which now affects his walk - he walks on his hind legs like a dancer. He doesn't befriend anyone. Lives in the enclosure with the dog Julie, only in her he has found a kindred spirit. Other dogs sense his weakness and uncertain walk, so they may harm him. Only Julie protects and defends him. With people he is cautious, befriends and wags his tail with selected ones, although he really longs for human contact.

Ще одна самотня душа притулку. Колишній домашній собака, якого забрали у недбайливих господарів. Він трошки особливий - у дитинстві, мабуть, перехворів на рахіт, який не лікували, що позначилося тепер на його ході - задніми лапками він ходить як танцюрист. Він ні з ким не дружить. Живе у вольері з собакою Жулею, тільки в ній він знайшов рідну душу. Інші собаки відчувають його слабкість та невпевнену ходу, тому можуть зкривдити. Тільки Жуля його оберігає та захищає. З людьми він обережний, дружить і виляє хвостиком із вибраними, хоча дуже тягнеться до людини.

About Les (Лесь)

What life with Les (Лесь) looks like

Les (Лесь) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Kirovohrad 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 Les (Лесь), answered.

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