How do I contact the shelter about Yasha (Яша)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dobri Ruky handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yasha (Яша) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Yasha (Яша) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dobri Ruky 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 Yasha (Яша) 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 Yasha (Яша) 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 Dobri Ruky early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yasha (Яша) 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.

Adopt Yasha (Яша)

Mixed Breed · Male

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! We met him under very difficult circumstances. He ended up in an animal shelter for treatment. No one knew what was wrong with him, but the dog couldn't walk. No, he couldn't just walk; he couldn't move, couldn't lift his head, barely ate… Vague diagnoses kept changing. No one gave him a chance to live. Specialists shrugged their shoulders and put a cross on a fairly young dog. Time passed, everyone grew attached to the special bedridden Yasha, who required a lot of attention, time, and strength. But, as they say, care and love work wonders! Our doctors didn't give up despite the vague prognosis. Exercises, massages, communication, love! And the bedridden dog stood up. Then the first steps, uncertain but so important. Now Yasha walks. The dog that came to us was rather unbalanced, smiling at all the guests and demanding treats. Yasha has cardiomegaly and needs pimobendan for life, which is quite an expensive medication. Pimobendan for dogs is a veterinary drug used to treat heart failure, particularly caused by mitral valve disease or dilated cardiomyopathy. It improves heart function by increasing the force of cardiac muscle contraction and dilating blood vessels. Yasha is vaccinated and has a veterinary veterinary passport.

Київ і Київська область! Ми познайомились з ним при дуже важких обставинах. Він потрапив у притулок на лікування. Ніхто не знав, що з ним, але пес не міг ходити. Ні, він не просто не міг ходити, він не міг рухатись, підіймати голову, ледь їв… Невтішні діагнози змінювали один одного. Шансів на життя не давав ніхто. Спеціалісти розводили руками і ставили хрест на доволі молодому псові. Йшов час, всі прив’язались до особливого лежачого Яші, який вимагав багато уваги, часу та сил. Але, як то кажуть, турбота і любов творять дива! Наші лікарі не здавались попри невтішні прогнози. Вправи, масажі, спілкування, любов! І лежачій пес – встав. Потім перші кроки, невпевнені, але такі важливі. Зараз Яша ходить. Доволі розбалуваний вийшов у нас пес, який посміхається всім гостям і вимагає смаколики) У Яші кардіомегалія і йому потрібен пімобендан пожиттєво, це доволі дорогий препарат. Пімобендан для собак – це ветеринарний препарат, який використовується для лікування серцевої недостатності, зокрема, спричиненої міксоматозною хворобою мітрального клапана або дилатаційною кардіоміопатією. Він покращує роботу серця, збільшуючи силу скорочення серцевого м’яза та розширює судини. Яша вакцинований, має ветеринарний паспорт. Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію кінолога/зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.

About Yasha (Яша)

What life with Yasha (Яша) looks like

Yasha (Яша) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dobri Ruky in Kyiv.

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.
