Pesik (Песик)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I want to tell the story of Pesik again. Maybe someone remembers him, and maybe someone sees him for the first time. I found him on the street. He was very exhausted, scared and injured. Two of his paws had fingers cut off. I don't even know how much he had to go through before he ended up on the street in this condition. At first, he was very afraid of people and did not let himself be taken into his hands. It took a lot of effort to catch him and finally take him from the street and help him. It wasn't easy, but I couldn't just leave him there. After we managed to get him, Pesik went to the clinic. The doctors examined him, started treatment and wound care. Fortunately, there were no serious complications, and the doctors decided to give his paws a chance to heal. Gradually, Pesik began to recover. But the most important thing was not even physical recovery - he began to learn to trust people again. That dog who once was afraid and did not understand whether it was possible to trust a person gradually began to reach out to people himself. He became calmer, started eating well, enjoying walks and just being an ordinary dog. Pesik turned out to be an incredibly good boy. Despite everything that happened to him, he didn't become aggressive or evil. On the contrary - he is very human-oriented, wants to be close, ready to trust and love. He tries very hard, but he still lacks the most important thing - his home and his person. Sometimes I look at him and think about how much he has gone through. He already had to fight for his life, for his paws, for trust in people. And now he just wants one thing - finally have a home where no one will hurt him. Where he will be needed. Where he will be loved not because he is perfect, but simply because he is Pesik. ❤️ I really want his story to finally get a happy continuation. 🐾

Хочу ще раз розповісти історію Песика. Можливо, хтось пам'ятає його, а хтось бачить уперше. Я знайшла його на вулиці. Він був дуже виснажений, наляканий і травмований. На двох його лапах були відрізані пальці. Я навіть не знаю, скільки всього йому довелося пережити, перш ніж він опинився на вулиці в такому стані. Спочатку він дуже боявся людей і не давався в руки. Його довелося відловлювати, щоб нарешті забрати з вулиці та допомогти. Це було непросто, але я не могла просто залишити його там. Після того, як нам вдалося його забрати, Песик потрапив до клініки. Його оглянули лікарі, почали лікування та обробку ран. На щастя, серйозних ускладнень не було, і лікарі вирішили дати його лапкам можливість загоїтися. Поступово Песик почав одужувати. Але найважливіше було навіть не фізичне відновлення — він почав знову вчитися довіряти людям. Той пес, який колись боявся і не розумів, чи можна довіряти людині, поступово почав сам тягнутися до людей. Він став спокійнішим, почав добре їсти, радіти прогулянкам і просто бути звичайним собакою. Песик виявився неймовірно добрим хлопчиком. Попри все, що з ним зробили, він не став агресивним чи злим. Навпаки — він дуже орієнтований на людину, хоче бути поруч, готовий довіряти та любити. Він дуже старається, але йому досі не вистачає найголовнішого — свого дому та своєї людини. Іноді я дивлюся на нього й думаю, скільки всього він пережив. Йому вже довелося боротися за своє життя, за свої лапи, за довіру до людей. А тепер він просто хоче одного — нарешті мати дім, де його ніхто не скривдить. Де він буде потрібен. Де його любитимуть не за те, що він ідеальний, а просто за те, що він — Песик. ❤️ Я дуже хочу, щоб його історія нарешті отримала щасливе продовження. 🐾

About Pesik (Песик)

What life with Pesik (Песик) looks like

Pesik (Песик) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

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 Pesik (Песик), answered.

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