Potapchik (Потапчик)

Male · Puppy · 4 months

POTAPCHIK is looking for his family 🐾 This little guy is a real find 🤍 Noble chow chow coat, attentive eyes and a character that you fall in love with at first glance. He is still so small, but already has so much tenderness and trust in people. Potapchik is very people-oriented, loves attention, curiously explores the world and grows into a true friend who will be by your side in both happy moments and quiet cozy evenings 🐾 It would be nice if his childhood passed not in an animal shelter, but at home - in someone's arms, on the couch, next to his family.

ПОТАПЧИК шукає свою родину 🐾 Цей маленький хлопець — справжня знахідка 🤍 Благородний чепрачний окрас, уважні очі і характер, у який закохуєшся з першого погляду. Він ще такий маленький, а в ньому вже стільки ніжності й довіри до людини. Потапчик дуже орієнтований на людину, любить увагу, допитливо досліджує світ і росте справжнім другом, який буде поруч і в радісні моменти, і в тихі затишні вечори 🐾 Так хочеться, щоб його дитинство минало не в притулку, а вдома — на руках, на дивані, поруч зі своєю сім’єю.

About Potapchik (Потапчик)

What life with Potapchik (Потапчик) looks like

Potapchik (Потапчик) is a medium-sized puppy/kitten dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

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 Potapchik (Потапчик), answered.

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