Mariya (Марія)

Female · Adult · 6 years

This is Maria. She is 5 years old. She is a sweet, quiet dog with a kind heart. She has been living in the animal shelter for a long time and is very waiting for her person. Maria is gentle, calm, and gets along well with other dogs. She is not pushy, but when she looks into your eyes, it's hard not to fall in love. Spayed, vaccinated, healthy. Perfect for a family looking for a loyal and gentle friend. Maria is in the animal shelter with her sister Anna. They have spent their whole lives together - on the street, in the animal shelter, in dreams of a real home. They are sisters not only by blood, but also by spirit: always together, always for each other.

Це Марія. Їй 5 років. Вона — мила, тиха собачка з добрим серцем. Уже довгий час живе в притулку і дуже чекає на свою людину. Марія ніжна, спокійна, добре ладнає з іншими собаками. Вона не настирлива, але коли дивиться в очі — важко не закохатися. Стерилізована, вакцинована, здорова. Ідеально підійде для родини, яка шукає вірного і лагідного друга. Марія у притулку із сестрою Анною. Все життя вони провели разом — на вулиці, у притулку, у снах про справжній дім. Вони — сестри не лише за кров’ю, а й по духу: завжди поряд, завжди одна за одну.

About Mariya (Марія)

What life with Mariya (Марія) looks like

Mariya (Марія) is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

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 Mariya (Марія), answered.

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