Ardas

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Ardas came to us from an animal shelter in Zielona Góra. He is a master of escape and from every kennel he looks for a way out. Like a terrier, he can't stay in one place, he loves movement and all kinds of craziness in the yard. On a leash, after the initial antics, he walks reasonably politely, but as soon as he sees another animal he starts pulling towards it. He gets very excited by the sight of other dogs and definitely does not have positive intentions towards them. He is a very active dog, with a strong hunting instinct, it's very hard to keep him in one place, he has to sniff, search and chase. We are looking for responsible caregivers who know the specifics of the breed, who will take care of Ardasa, provide the appropriate amount of exercise and never abandon him.

Ardas przyjechał do nas ze schroniska w Zielonej Górze. Jest mistrzem ucieczek i z każdego kojca szuka wyjścia. Jak to terier nie potrafi usiedzieć na miejscu, uwielbia ruch i wszelkie szaleństwa na dworze. Na smyczy po pierwszych wariactwach chodzi w miarę grzecznie, jednak jak zobaczy jakieś zwierzę zaczyna ciągnąć w jego stronę. Mocno pobudza się na widok innych piesków i zdecydowanie nie ma w stosunku do nich pozytywnych zamiarów. Jest psiakiem bardzo aktywnym, z silnym instynktem łowieckim, bardzo trudno jest ustać mu w miejscu, musi węszyć, szukać i ganiać. Szukamy odpowiedzialnych, znających specyfikę rasy opiekunów, którzy zatroszczą się o Ardasa, zapewnią odpowiednią dawkę ruchu i nigdy nie porzucą.

About Ardas

What life with Ardas looks like

Ardas is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at IDZ — Inicjatywa Dla Zwierząt in Zielona Góra.

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 Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ardas, answered.

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