Zhuzha (Жужа)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A lost puppy was reported by volunteers. The little dog was most likely lying on the roadside for several days and was in pain. Volunteers immediately took the puppy to a veterinary clinic where it received first aid. After the examination, the veterinarians found spinal and pelvic injuries, a blunt abdominal injury, and the puppy had seriously been affected by parasites. Currently, Zhuzha's condition is critical; the puppy cannot stand on its legs, only slightly raises its head; it drinks water and eats a little. Doctors are stabilizing her condition; further studies and an X-ray will be performed (they could not do it immediately due to the pain syndrome). June 29, 2022 Zhuzha continues to recover at the veterinary clinic. She eats independently, also goes to the toilet by herself, and slowly starts to lift her front paws, which are good news! Doctors are currently cautious with their predictions, but internal organs are not damaged, so we continue fighting for the puppy. The estimated cost of treatment for Zhuzha is 10 thousand hryvnias. July 5, 2022 Zhuzha's condition has significantly improved; she already stands on all paws and eats well. The puppy still needs to take certain medications to fully recover. In addition, she will need to be spayed (the operation is also therapeutic, as pyometra can only be treated surgically). To perform this procedure, Zhuzha still needs to gain strength and recover, so the cost of the puppy's treatment increases by approximately 5 thousand. July 20, 2022 Zhuzha has a positive dynamics after sterilization, actively drinks water and eats well, there are no signs of breathing difficulties or episodes. Soon, Zhuzha will be discharged from the clinic, and the puppy will go to foster care. July 28, 2022 Zhuzha was already discharged from the clinic and is now in foster care. August 3, 2022 Zhuzha is in foster care and feels great. If the puppy continues to feel well, there will be no need for a repeat examination or hospitalization. Therefore, this dog has already started looking for responsible and reliable owners who will give her love and attention.

Про збиту собачку волонтерів повідомили перехожі. На узбіччі песик найпевніше лежав уже не один день і стогнав від болю. Волонтери негайно відвезли малечу до ветклініки де їй надали першу допомогу. Після огляду ветеринари виявили травми хребта і тазу, тупа травма живота, а також малеча серйозно постраждала від шкідників. Нині стан Жужи важкий, песик не стає на лапки, лише злегка піднімає голову; п'є водичку і трохи поїла. Лікарі стабілізують її стан, попереду ще будуть дослідження та рентген (одразу цього зробити не могли через больовий синдром). 29.06.2022 Жужа продовжує відновлюватися у ветеринарній клініці. Вона їсть самостійно, також сама ходить до туалету та піднімається потроху на передні лапки, а це вже добрі новини! Лікарі поки обережні у своїх прогнозах, проте внутрішні органи не пошкоджені, тож ми продовжуємо боротися за песика. Орієнтовна сума лікування Жужи становить 10 тисяч гривень. 05.07.2022 Стан жужи значно покращився, вона вже стає на всі лапки, добре їсть. Нині песик все ще має отримувати певні ліки, аби повністю відновитись. Окрім того, їй необхідно буде провести стерилізацію (операція також є і лікувальною, адже піометра лікується лише хірургічно). Аби провести цю процедуру, Жужа ще має набиратися сил та лікуватися, тож вартість лікування песика зростає орієнтовно на 5 тисяч. 20.07.2022 Жужа має позитивну динаміку після стерилізації, активно п'є воду та добре їсть, немає віддишок чи приступів. Незабаром Жужу мають виписати з клініки, песик поїде на перетримку. 28.07.2022 Жужу вже виписали з клініки і вона перебуває на перетримці. 03.08.2022 Жужа перебуває на перетримці та почувається чудово. Якщо песик і надалі почуватиметься добре, то ні повторного огляду, ні перебування на стаціонарі не потрібно буде. А отже, ця собачка вже розпочала пошуки відповідальних і надійних господарів, які подарують їй любов і увагу)

About Zhuzha (Жужа)

What life with Zhuzha (Жужа) looks like

Zhuzha (Жужа) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Paw Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine.

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 Zhuzha (Жужа), answered.

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