Bora

Mixed Breed · Female

Bora is a beautiful female dog who came to us in February 2023. Building a relationship with her has not been easy because Bora has already experienced a lot of bad things from the world. When she arrived, she spent all her time hiding in a kennel and did not want any contact with humans. Most people would have written her off, but we didn't. We tried to build a relationship with her slowly and on her terms - until finally Bora began to open up. Other dogs helped her immensely; she gets along great with them and thanks to their support, she started accompanying us in our Saturday life. At first, whenever there was any noise, Bora would run back to the kennel, but now she slowly seeks support from her favorite volunteers. Instead of hiding, she beautifully relieves stress by playing with stuffed animals that she absolutely loves. She approaches some people demanding food and follows them curiously when they are busy in the yard. From a dog that did not want any contact with us, Bora has become a dog that can be happy to see her favorite people. There is still much work ahead for Bora. Currently, with the support of a behaviorist, we are working on touch and harness. Building a relationship with her is not easy and will not be, but does it mean she doesn't deserve a loving home that allows her to open up on her own terms? Bora needs an experienced person who wants to show her that people do not have to be associated with fear. For her, a home where she can regularly work with someone may be the only chance to trust humans again.

Bora to śliczna suczka, która trafiła do nas w lutym 2023 roku. Relacja z nią nie jest prosta do zbudowania, bo Bora zdążyła już doświadczyć dużo złego od świata. Gdy do nas przyjechała, to cały czas spędzała schowana w budce i wcale nie pragnęła kontaktu z człowiekiem. Większość świata spisałaby ją na straty, ale my tego nie zrobiliśmy. Długo próbowaliśmy nawiązać z nią relację - powoli i na jej warunkach - aż w końcu Bora zaczęła się otwierać. Bardzo pomogły jej inne psy, z którymi dogaduje się wyśmienicie i to dzięki ich wsparciu zaczęła towarzyszyć nam w sobotnim życiu. Na początku Bora przy każdym hałasie uciekała z powrotem do boksu, za to teraz powoli szuka wsparcia w swoich ulubionych wolontariuszach. Zamiast chować się, pięknie odstresowuje się zabawą pluszakami, które wprost uwielbia. Do niektórych osób podchodzi domagać się jedzenia i z ciekawością podąża za nimi, gdy krzątają się po podwórku. Z psa, który nie chciał mieć z nami żadnego kontaktu, stała się psem, który potrafi ucieszyć się widząc swoje ulubione osoby. Z Borą czeka nas jeszcze wiele pracy. Aktualnie, przy wsparciu behawiorystki, pracujemy nad dotykiem i obrożą. Nawiązanie z nią relacji nie jest i nie będzie proste, ale czy to oznacza, że ona nie zasługuje na kochający dom, który pozwoli jej otwierać się na jej zasadach? Bora potrzebuje doświadczonej osoby, która będzie chciała pokazać jej, że ludzie nie muszą być kojarzeni ze strachem. Dla niej dom, który regularnie może z nią pracować, może być jedyną szansą na ponowne zaufanie ludziom.

About Bora

What life with Bora looks like

Bora is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Bezdomnych Zwierząt w Milanówku in Poland.

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 Bora, answered.

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