How do I contact the shelter about Richard (Річард)?

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 Richard (Річард) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Richard (Річард) 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 Richard (Річард) 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 Richard (Річард) 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 Richard (Річард) 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.

Richard (Річард)

Male · Senior · 10 years

Richard or Rich - this is a dog who has gone through a lot in his life... He was found hit by a car on the road. He was taken to the animal shelter at the end of this winter with multiple injuries and broken bones of the pelvis, thigh. With the help of volunteers and all concerned people, we raised money for several operations and rehabilitation for the boy. During the operations, fragments of shells were found in his body and multiple old fractures. We still don't know who this handsome guy is and why he has such a hard life, but we are sure that he deserves unlimited love. Now Rich is feeling well, walks freely and actively on walks. He is very attached to people and does not show aggression towards other animals. He is just a treasure that needs to be taken to the best conditions and soft pillows.

Річард або Річі - це пес, який за своє життя отримав дуже багато випробувань...Його знайшли збитим на дорозі. Потрапив до притулку наприкінці зими цього року з численними травмами та переломаними кістками тазу, стегна. Разом з допомогою волонтерів та усіх небайдужих ми зібрали кошти на декілька операцій, реабілітацію хлопця. Під час операцій в його тілі виявили ще осколки від снарядів та множинні старі переломи. Хто цей красень та чому в нього таке тяжке життя ми й досі не знаємо, але знаємо напевно що він заслуговує на безмежну любов. Зараз Річі уже добре себе почуває, гуляє на вигулі вільно та активно. Дуже прив'язується до людини та не проявляє агресії, щодо інших тварин. Він просто той скарб, який потрібно забирати в найкращі умови та м'якенькі подушечки.

About Richard (Річард)

What life with Richard (Річард) looks like

Richard (Річард) is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

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.

Note from the shelter: War trauma survivor with history of multiple surgeries for pelvic and hip fractures, shrapnel wounds, and old breaks. Requires ongoing medical monitoring.
