Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка)

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Janna had lived on the territory of a military unit in Kamyanets for several years. And even now, it remains a mystery to me how she managed to go without help for such a long time. A person who came there for training noticed Janna specifically. It was impossible to walk past her. On the dog's body was a huge swelling that she had dragged around for years. She dragged it across the ground, injured herself, bled, and suffered constant pain. At the time of the operation, the swelling weighed 1.2 kilograms. According to the people involved, it had grown at least two years, but the dog remained without help the whole time. Due to the pain, Janna didn't trust people, hid, and could bite. But the person who sought help turned out to be very persistent. Despite biting her hands, she managed to catch her. After that, we took Janna and brought her to Dnipro for an examination. Janna is about 8 years old. She coped well with the operation, and along with the swelling, she began to fight another problem—severe demodectic mange. Her back was almost hairless, her skin covered with pustules and scabs to the blood. Fortunately, the treatment worked, and today all these problems are behind her. By character, Janna is a true little personality. Compact, active, and very talkative. She clearly has some terrier genes, so she has a definite opinion on everything. If someone appeared near the gates, if guests arrived, or something interesting happened—Janna would definitely inform you about it first. At home, however, she is completely different. She doesn't need long walks or constant adventures. Janna loves a quiet way of life. She will be happy to lie next to you, nap by your feet, accompany you in daily affairs, and just be by your side. For her, we are looking for a family that lives without constant hurry and values home quiet. The best place for Janna would be a private home with indoor living, where she can be part of a family, not just a dog in the yard. Janna is not perfect. She is stubborn, closed-off, sometimes talkative, and always has her own opinion. But it is precisely in this that her uniqueness lies. After years of pain, neglect, and life with a huge swelling, she deserves people who love her just as she is. And we very much hope that her people are already waiting for her somewhere.

Жанна кілька років жила на території військової частини у Кам’янському. І досі для мене залишається загадкою, як за весь цей час вона так і не отримала допомоги. Людина, яка приїхала туди на навчання, звернула увагу саме на Жанну. Повз неї було неможливо пройти. На тілі собаки була величезна пухлина, яку вона роками тягала за собою. Вона волочилася по землі, травмувалася, кровила та завдавала постійного болю. На момент операції видалена пухлина важила 1,2 кілограма. За словами людей, вона росла щонайменше два роки, але весь цей час собака залишалася без допомоги. Через біль Жанна не довіряла людям, ховалася та могла вкусити. Але людина, яка звернулась по допомогу, виявилася дуже наполегливою . Попри покусані руки, віна усе ж змогла її впіймати. Після цього ми забрали Жанну та повезли до Дніпра на обстеження. Жанні приблизно 8 років. Вона добре перенесла операцію, а разом із пухлиною почалася боротьба й з іншою проблемою — сильним демодекозом. Спина була майже без шерсті, шкіра вкрита виразками та розчухами до крові. На щастя, лікування дало результат, і сьогодні всі ці проблеми вже позаду. За характером Жанна — справжня маленька особистість. Компактна, активна та дуже балакуча. У ній явно загубилися гени якогось той-тер’єра, тому свою думку вона має абсолютно з будь-якого приводу. Якщо біля воріт хтось з’явився, якщо прийшли гості або сталося щось цікаве — Жанна обов’язково повідомить про це першою. Водночас удома вона зовсім інша. Їй не потрібні багатокілометрові пробіжки чи постійні пригоди. Жанна любить спокійний ритм життя. Вона із задоволенням буде лежати поруч, дрімати біля ваших ніг, супроводжувати у щоденних справах і просто бути поряд. Для неї ми шукаємо родину, яка живе без постійного поспіху та цінує домашній затишок. Найкраще Жанна почуватиметься у приватному будинку з проживанням у домі, де зможе бути частиною сім’ї, а не просто собакою у дворі. Жанна не ідеальна. Вона характерна, вперта, іноді буркотлива і завжди має власну думку. Але саме в цьому її особливість. Після багатьох років болю, байдужості та життя з величезною пухлиною вона заслуговує на людей, які полюблять її саме такою, якою вона є. І ми дуже сподіваємося, що її люди десь уже чекають на зустріч.

About Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка)

What life with Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) looks like

Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Dnipro in Ukraine.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Paw Dnipro handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Paw Dnipro 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 Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) 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 Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) 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 Dnipro early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zhanka-Kazhanka (Жанка-Кажанка) 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.
