How do I contact the shelter about Bella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja EkoStraż handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja EkoStraż 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 Bella 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 Bella 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 Fundacja EkoStraż early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella 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.

Bella

Mixed Breed · Female

Bella is about 2 – year old, 10 – kilogram female dog. A Ukrainian stray dog, sister of Umka, who already found a home. Due to her shyness, she is not suitable for a home with small children. She requires patience and work. Bella nicely opens up to another dog, approaches to play, wants to run and be wild on walks. She loved long walks. After longer contact with a person, she allows to be petted and slowly becomes trustful. In the temporary home, thanks to behavioral work, it was possible to get rid of the fear of people. Further diagnostics showed, however, that Bella DOES NOT HEAR! Thus we found the basis of her fear and insecurity in open spaces. Everything points to the fact that previously her sister Umka fulfilled the role of a hearing guide in the world. With Umka, Bella felt more secure. At this moment, Bella is confident when a human guide leads her on a leash - such control provides her support. However, when the leash disappears, her confidence disappears as well... Additionally, Bella has problems with settling down - which often manifests in the morning, destroying objects. Introducing a crate kennel as a place for night rest could be a solution. At the same time, Bella is a very sensitive, beloved little dog, a wonderful walking companion - she loves being active and exploring. There is no problem in establishing contact with other dogs, although of course she needs some time for that. We are urgently looking for a forever home for Bella with another, friendly dog (or several dogs) - as well as a patient, willing to work with a fearful dog caregiver.

Bella to około 2 – letnia, 10 – kilogramowa suczka. Psia uchodźczyni z Ukrainy, siostra Umki, która już znalazła dom. Z uwagi na swoją lękowość nie nadaje się do domu z małymi dziećmi. Wymaga cierpliwości i pracy. Bella pięknie otwiera się przy innym psie, zaczepia do zabawy, chce biegać i szaleć na spacerze. Polubiła długie spacery. Po dłuższym kontakcie z człowiekiem daje się głaskać i powoli przekonuję się do niego. W domu tymczasowym, dzięki pracy behawioralnej, udało się pozbyć strachu przed ludźmi. Dalsza diagnostyka wykazała jednak… że Bella NIE SŁYSZY! Tym samym poznaliśmy podłoże jej lęku i niepewności na otwartej przestrzeni. Wszystko wskazuje na to, że wcześniej jej siostra Umka pełniła rolę słyszącej przewodniczki po świecie. Z Umką Bella czuła się pewniej. W tym momencie Bella jest pewna siebie, gdy ludzki przewodnik prowadzi ją na smyczy – taka kontrola zapewnia jej wsparcie. Jednak gdy smycz znika, znika jej też pewność siebie… Dodatkowo Bella ma problemy z wyciszeniem – co manifestuje często nad ranem, niszcząc przedmioty. Rozwiązaniem mogłoby być wprowadzenie klatki kenelowej jako miejsca nocnego odpoczynku. Jednocześnie Bella to bardzo wrażliwy, kochany piesek, cudowna towarzyszka spacerów – kocha być w ruchu i eksplorować. Nie ma problemu w nawiązywaniu kontaktu z innymi psami, choć oczywiście potrzebuje na to nieco czasu. PILNIE szukamy Belli domu Z DRUGIM, PRZYJAZNYM PSEM (lub z kilkoma psami) – oraz cierpliwego, gotowego na pracę z psem lękowym opiekuna.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja EkoStraż in Wrocław.

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.
