Sonya (Соня)

Female · Young · 1 year

This is Sonya — a gentle, kind and very special girl. She is 6 months old, and she is dreaming of a family that will give her love and care. Sonya is a bit shy, but quickly gets used to people, loves to play and adores hugs. Her story is not easy... Sonya was born on the territory of a factory near the railway station in Kyiv. Her mother raised puppies in difficult conditions, but when the puppies were 5 months old, the factory director ordered them to be disposed of. Fortunately, a kind woman did not leave them to chance and brought them to an animal shelter. Now Sonya is safe, but she is dreaming of her own home. She is healthy, vaccinated and ready to become part of a loving family. If you want to give Sonya a happy life — come and meet her!

About Sonya (Соня)

What life with Sonya (Соня) looks like

Sonya (Соня) is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

An young 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 Sonya (Соня), answered.

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