Story:A Dog Who Survived Loneliness and Fear, Still Hoping for Kindness
This is Teidah. Her story is a bittersweet tale of survival, loss, and quiet hope. Teidah came to the “Big Heart” shelter near Kyiv in the spring of 2021. Before that, she lived in a small rural shelter with her siblings. Her world was turned upside down when the shelter’s owner unexpectedly passed away, leaving the dogs completely alone.
Teidah and the other dogs were left in an empty yard, next to an abandoned house. For months, they survived on their own—frightened, without food, without people, and with no support. They didn’t understand why their once-familiar world had suddenly become so cold and unforgiving. Teidah survived, but that loneliness left a deep mark on her heart.
Because of this, Teidah has lost her trust in people. She doesn’t know what human kindness or care feels like. Yet, despite her fear, she is not aggressive. She is a calm, balanced, and gentle dog who gets along well with other animals and never causes conflict. However, her fear of humans is profound. When someone tries to pet her, she tenses up and wants to flee.
Teidah faced yet another challenge during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. She was evacuated from the shelter near Kyiv to our kennel near the Polish border, and then to paid temporary housing. We did everything possible to ensure her safety.
Teidah is a dog who needs extraordinary patience, understanding, and love. We don’t know if we will ever find a family ready to give her the time and acceptance she needs. But until that day comes, we are committed to providing her with a safe and peaceful life.
Teidah deserves a chance. She is a quiet, gentle soul who hasn’t yet found her place in the world, but she truly deserves one. If you would like to help Teidah, you can become her sponsor. Your support will ensure she has food, medical care, and a safe space where she can feel protected.
Together, we can make her life peaceful and filled with care. Teidah will be waiting for your kindness.
