Nelma (Нельма)

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

We are looking for the best owners! We really want Nelm to find a family soon and not know what it's like to live among 150 dogs. We would like her to be noticed, understood, loved, and warmed up her modest, mistrustful heart. It just so happened that life in a big family does not really please her. She is uncomfortable with the large gathering of people and dogs. It is difficult for her to adapt to new conditions, but Nelm is honestly happy with familiar things. She is a smart, very kind and good dog. She happily greets people she knows, and she well guards her territory. She doesn't go to strangers, she will love her own! By character, she is modest, obedient, intelligent, kind, gentle, but distrustful dog! Estimated date of birth July 8, 2015. Coat color is light, medium size, 47 cm at the withers. Vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, with a veterinary passport.

Шукаємо найкращих господарів! Дуже хочеться, щоб Нельма швидше знайшла родину і не знала, що таке жити серед 150 собак. Хотілося, щоб її помітили, зрозуміли, полюбили та обігріли її скромне, недовірливе серце. Так вже склалося, що життя у великій родині не дуже тішить її. Їй некомфортно велике скупчення людей та собак. Їй складно звикати до нових умов, але Нельма відверто радіє звичним речам. Вона розумниця, дуже ласкава і добра собака. Весело зустрічає знайомих їй людей, добре охороняє свою територію. До чужих у руки не йде, свої любитиме! За характером скромна, слухняна, розумна, добра, ласкава, але недовірлива собака! Умовна дата народження 08 липня 2015 року. Забарвлення палеве, розмір середній, 47 см в загривку. Вакцинована, кастрована, чипована, з ветеринарним паспортом.

About Nelma (Нельма)

What life with Nelma (Нельма) looks like

Nelma (Нельма) is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv Oblast 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 Nelma (Нельма), answered.

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