Adopt Mishka (Мишка)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Zaporozhye, shelter "Dai lapu, druzhok" LOOK AT ME WITHOUT PITY!!! It is possible to be blind, but to feel the warmth of someone's hand and see the beauty of a loving soul... It is possible to lose your sight, but... to hear with your heart ... Misha has been living by touch for four years!!! As a result of an accident, he lost an eye and became blind in the other. Young, fluffy, extremely affectionate, he has learned to live in society, can walk on a leash, can navigate both in an apartment and on a yard. He is very kind, will suit a family with children. He will be a friend, part of your home, part of your heart ... He is really great!!! It is hard for him in the shelter among other dogs, in his blindness he does not see them and bumps into them, not all dogs like being stepped on, Misha is non-confrontational, if they are females ... Worse with males, here he may show his character. We do not lose hope that somewhere there are Misha's true souls and he will definitely find a home and they will take him not out of pity, but because he is UNIQUE and UNREPEATABLE!!!

Запорожье, приют «Дай лапу, друг» СМОТРИ НА МЕНЯ БЕЗ ЖАЛОСТИ!!! Можно быть незрячим, но чувствовать тепло чьей- то руки и видеть красоту любящей души... Можно потерять зрение, но...слышать сердцем ... Мишка четыре года живет на ощупь !!! В следствии ДТП он потерял глаз и ослеп на второй. Молодой , плюшевый , ласковый без меры, он научился жить в социуме, может гулять на поводке , может ориентироваться и в квартире и на участке. Он очень добрый , подойдет в семью с детками. Станет другом , частью вашего дома , частью вашего сердца ... Он правда классный !!! Тяжело ему в приюте среди других собачек, он в своей слепоте не видит их и натыкается, не всем собачкам нравится, что на них наступают, Мишка не конфликтный, если это дамы ... Хуже с мальчиками, тут может и характер показать. Мы не теряем надежды, что где - то есть и Мишкины родные души и он обязательно найдет дом и возьмут его не из жалости, а потому что он ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ и НЕПОВТОРИМЫЙ !!!

About Mishka (Мишка)

What life with Mishka (Мишка) looks like

Mishka (Мишка) is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine.

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.

🇺🇦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 Mishka (Мишка), answered.

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