Motya (Мотя)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Motya, approximate age 1 year. A month ago, the girl appeared from nowhere, possibly abandoned or considered unnecessary by her owners. She wandered the streets of Zaporizhzhia in search of shelter and food. Volunteers from the animal shelter "Shans" who fed her noticed that she has a damaged paw and contacted us for help with treatment. Motya believes that after recovery, she will be able to find her owners and spend this winter in the family circle and in a warm house. Estimated treatment cost is 25,000 hryvnias.

About Motya (Мотя)

What life with Motya (Мотя) looks like

Motya (Мотя) is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine.

An young 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 Motya (Мотя), answered.

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