Ami

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 5 years

A female dog came to us from a puppy mill. She was taken in poor condition, is emaciated, throws herself on food. She drinks without restraint. It is clear that life has not been kind to her so far. We hope she will recover quickly and find a loving home. She is quite cheerful and curious, gentle.

Suką trafiła do nas z pseudo hodowli. Została odebrana w słabej kondycji, jest wychudzona, rzuca się na jedzenie. Piję bez umiaru. Widać że życie do tej pory nie było dla niej łaskawe. Mamy nadzieję, że szybko dojdzie do siebie i znajdzie kochający domek. Jest dość wesoła i ciekawska, łagodna.

About Ami

What life with Ami looks like

Ami is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Fundacja Małych Braci św. Franciszka in Poland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ami, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ami?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Fundacja Małych Braci św. Franciszka handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ami on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ami if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Fundacja Małych Braci św. Franciszka whether they will for Ami, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ami already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Ami. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Fundacja Małych Braci św. Franciszka, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ami isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Fundacja Małych Braci św. Franciszka about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ami 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 (PL). 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.
