Adopt Meri (Мері)

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

This little one's fate hangs by a thread. Her name is Mary. She was thrown into the forest, where a small puppy simply cannot survive. She is only 3 months old, a Labrador mix, good, smart, and very kind girl. She is still a child, but has already experienced betrayal. It breaks my heart to think that she might be left there forever... She doesn't understand why she was abandoned, and she still runs to people with hope. She is very scared, and the chances of surviving are almost none. Maybe you will be her rescue and give her a life.

Доля цієї крихітки зараз висить на волосині. Звати Мері. Її викинули в ліс, де маленькому цуценяті просто не вижити. Їй лише 3 місяці, вона метис лабрадора, добра, розумна й дуже ласкава дівчинка. Вона ще зовсім дитина, але вже пізнала зраду. Серце розривається від думки, що вона може залишитися там назавжди… Вона не розуміє, чому її покинули, і досі біжить до людей з надією. Їй дуже страшно, а шансів вижити майже немає. Можливо, саме ви станете для неї порятунком і подаруєте життя.

About Meri (Мері)

What life with Meri (Мері) looks like

Meri (Мері) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇺🇦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 Meri (Мері), answered.

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