Puma (Пума)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Puma, an older dog, evacuated from Kharkiv (March 2025) Puma survived the horrors of war and severe injuries. He has a fractured spine with displacement in the thoracic region - he will never be able to walk again. He also has severe pressure sores, ulcers, dermatitis from urine, his skin is affected, and he requires daily care. Despite everything, Puma is very calm and trusting. He patiently accepts treatments, does not show aggression, silently suffers. Not young, gentle, with a deep, quiet character. 🔹 We are looking for a caregiver (possibly remote) or a special family that can give him a life with dignity. 🔹 Puma will be bedridden, he needs a quiet home, diapers, special care and love. He is not the one who will run - but he is the one who will look into the eyes, full of gratitude.

Пума, не молодий пес, евакуйований із Харкова (березень 2025) Пума пережив жахи війни та важкі травми. У нього діагностовано перелом хребта зі зміщенням у грудному відділі — він ніколи не зможе ходити. Також має важкі пролежні, виразки, дерматит від сечі, шкіра уражена, потребує щоденного догляду. Попри все, Пума дуже спокійний і довірливий. Він терпляче приймає обробки, не проявляє агресії, мовчки страждає. Не молодий, ніжний, із глибоким, тихим характером. 🔹 Шукаємо опікуна (можливо, дистанційного) або особливу родину, яка зможе дати йому життя з гідністю. 🔹 Пума буде лежачим, йому потрібен спокійний дім, підгузки, спеціальний догляд і любов. Він не з тих, хто бігатиме — але він із тих, хто дивитиметься в очі, повні вдячності.

About Puma (Пума)

What life with Puma (Пума) looks like

Puma (Пума) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Dnipro 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 Puma (Пума), answered.

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