Rey (Рей)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Ray is looking for a real family that will give him a chance at happiness 🏡 Ray is about 3 years old, and this kind giant with a cat's heart really needs a home and loving people around. He is a staff mix, and although his appearance is serious, his character is surprisingly gentle and kind. Ray's story is full of pain: former owners simply tied him to a tree in the middle of houses and left. Two long days he sat alone, cried and waited... waiting for someone to come. He was rescued by the police, and then a new path to hope began. Now Ray is a mature, good dog weighing 45 kg, who despite everything has not lost faith in people. He has no aggression towards people, children, or other animals, and just dreams of warmth and love. Ray knows how to behave on a leash, follows basic commands and will be the most loyal friend if you give him your home. ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Treated for parasites ✅ Gentle with outdoor run and obedient. He really needs a family that will show what true care and love are. If you are ready to give Ray a chance at happiness, call Anastasia: .

Рей шукає справжню родину, яка подарує йому шанс на щастя 🏡 Рею близько 3 років, і цей добрий велетень з серцем котика дуже потребує дому та люблячих людей поруч. Він — метис стаффа, і хоча його вигляд серйозний, характер у нього напрочуд ніжний і лагідний. Історія Рея сповнена болю: колишні власники просто прив’язали його до дерева посеред будинків і пішли. Дві довгі доби він сидів самотній, плакав і чекав… Чекав, що хтось прийде. Його врятувала поліція, а далі почався новий шлях до надії. Зараз Рей — статний, добрий пес вагою 45 кг, який, попри все, не втратив віри в людей. Він зовсім не має агресії до людей, дітей, інших тварин і просто мріє про тепло і любов. Рей знає, як поводитися на повідку, виконує базові команди і буде найвідданішим другом, якщо ви подаруєте йому свій дім. ✅ Вакцинований ✅ Оброблений від паразитів ✅ Лагідний до вигулу і слухняний Йому дуже потрібна родина, яка покаже, що таке справжня турбота та любов. Якщо ви готові подарувати Рею шанс на щастя, телефонуйте Анастасії: .

About Rey (Рей)

What life with Rey (Рей) looks like

Rey (Рей) is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Rey (Рей), answered.

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