Yerosha (Єроша)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! Looking for a family! This is Yerosha, we learned about him when cold autumn winds with rain swept through the city. A small puppy was somehow spotted in a corner of the stairs in one of the apartment complexes. He didn’t give up, but simply lay helplessly on the cold floor and trembled. We searched for his owners, knowing no one would respond. So this puppy received a new name and a chance at life. Yerosha had a poor body weight, and even despite his minuteness, he weighed a mere 5 kg. He was almost weightless, frightened, and disoriented. A pile of ticks, dehydration, low temperature. He needed immediate veterinary help. The small delicate puppy has cataracts, which means he can only distinguish between light and darkness. And almost complete loss of hearing. He only reacts to some strong sounds and vibrations. Yerosha is very delicate, gentle, and openly grateful for every moment of attention. A middle-aged dog, not old, but it’s hard to call him young either. It’s hard to understand people who throw out their animals, especially a special puppy who can’t survive on his own—it’s a betrayal in a cube! Now Yerosha is adapting to his new life and gradually gaining the weight he should have. And we hold onto the hope that some kind soul will take this little one in. He’s just like a kitten, so delicate! He needs love and protection! We are looking for Yerosha’s family!

Київ і Київська область! Шукаємо родину! Це Єроша, ми дізнались про нього, коли холодні осінні вітри з дощами накрили місто. Маленького песика дивом помітили в кутку сходів в одному з ЖК. Він не підводився, а просто безпомічно лежав на холодній підлозі і тремтів. Ми шукали його власників, розуміючи, що ніхто не відгукнеться. Так цей песик отримав нове ім’я і шанс на життя. Єроша мав недобір ваги, і навіть попри його мініатюрність важив аж сильно замало, всього 5 кг. Він був майже невагомий, переляканий і дезорієнтований. Купа кліщів, зневоднення, низька температура. Він потребував негайної ветеринарної допомоги. Маленький тендітний песик має катаракту, через що він розрізняє лише світло та тіні. І майже повну втрату слуху. Реагує тільки на деякі сильні звуки та вібрації. Єроша дуже ніжний, лагідний, відверто вдячний за кожну мить уваги. Песик середнього віку, не старий, але й молодим його важко назвати. Дуже важко зрозуміти людей, які кидають напризволяще своїх тварин. А коли це ще й особливий песик, який не може вижити самостійно – це зрада в кубі! Зараз Єроша адаптується до нового життя і потроху набирає вагу, яку повинен мати. Ну і ми залишаємо за собою право мати надію, що якась добра душа візьме цю крихітку собі. Він же ж як котик, дуже ніжний! Так потребує любові і захисту! Шукаємо Єроші родину! Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію кінолога/зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.

About Yerosha (Єроша)

What life with Yerosha (Єроша) looks like

Yerosha (Єроша) 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.

🇺🇦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 Yerosha (Єроша), answered.

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