Lilu (Лілу)

Female · Senior · 9 years

Unfortunately, this elegant beauty spent most of her life in a shelter 😢 Back in the summer of the distant year 2017, a tiny puppy barely three months old was brought to Sirius... Then another year passed, and another—and before we knew it, that little girl had grown up into an absolutely stunning beauty. Lila, unfortunately, has never known any other life; she doesn’t know what it’s like to always be by the side of a human who loves her endlessly. Lila does have a loyal companion who comes to visit her every weekend and helps the girl overcome her fears and learn to trust people. She doesn’t clash with other dogs, behaves wonderfully on walks, but she’s incredibly shy ❤️ How we dream that Lila could fully experience the warmth and love of a real home!

Нажаль ця витончена красуня провела більшу частину життя у притулку 😢 Ще влітку далекого 2017 року до Сіріуса привезли маленьке цуценя, якому ледве було 3 місяці.... Потім минув рік, ще один, і ще.... і маленька дівчинка виросла і стала неймовірною красунею. Лілу, нажаль, не бачила іншого життя, не знає що таке бути завжди поруч із Людиною, яка тебе любить безмежно. Лілу має вірну подружку, яка приїздить до неї щовихідних і допомагає дівчинці долати страхи та довіряти людям. Вона не конфліктує з іншими собачками, чудово себе поводить на вигулі, але дуже таки сором'язлива ❤️ Як же ми мріємо аби Лілу відчула на повні груди, що таке домашнє тепло та любов!

About Lilu (Лілу)

What life with Lilu (Лілу) looks like

Lilu (Лілу) is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Long-term shelter resident requiring patience and socialization

Frequently asked

Adopting Lilu (Лілу), answered.

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