How do I contact the shelter about Cola?

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

Can I adopt Cola if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Cola 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 Cola 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cola 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.

Adopt Cola

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, I am Cola. I was born around February 2017. My story is not easy — I ended up in the animal shelter in Bytom after the death of my beloved caregivers. It was a very difficult time for me. On January 27, 2026, I came here for help, because I am suffering from a rare form of cancer that causes overgrowth of bone tissue around my limbs. That is why my constant treatment and regular check-ups are so important. But you know what? I don't show at all that something is wrong with me! Every day I greet with joy and wagging tail. If there is an opportunity, I gladly eat treats (and believe me — I can spot them!). I gladly go for walks and the weather doesn't bother me at all — sun, rain or cooler wind. In my jacket I bravely march forward with a smile on my face. I love human company the most in the whole world. Petting, caressing, kind words and every minute spent together are invaluable to me. I am ready to give my entire dog's heart to someone who will love me just as I am. I am unique. Maybe I'm waiting for you?

Cześć, jestem Cola. Urodziłam się około lutego 2017 roku. Moja historia nie jest łatwa — do schroniska w Bytomiu trafiłam po śmierci moich ukochanych opiekunów. To był dla mnie bardzo trudny czas. 27 stycznia 2026 roku przyjechałam tutaj w ramach pomocy, ponieważ choruję na rzadką odmianę nowotworu, która powoduje nadbudowywanie się tkanki kostnej w okolicach moich kończyn. Dlatego tak ważne jest moje stałe leczenie i regularne kontrole.Ale wiecie co? Kompletnie nie daję po sobie poznać, że coś mi dolega! Każdy dzień witam z radością i merdającym ogonkiem. Jeśli tylko nadarzy się okazja, z przyjemnością zajadam smakołyki (a uwierzcie mi — potrafię je wypatrzyć!). Chętnie wybieram się na spacery i zupełnie nie przeszkadza mi pogoda — słońce, deszcz czy chłodniejszy wiatr. W swojej kurteczce dzielnie maszeruję przed siebie z uśmiechem na pyszczku. Najbardziej na świecie uwielbiam bliskość człowieka. Pieszczoty, głaskanie, czułe słowa i każda minuta spędzona razem są dla mnie bezcenne. Jestem gotowa oddać całe moje psie serduszko komuś, kto pokocha mnie taką, jaka jestem.Jestem wyjątkowa. Może właśnie czekam na Ciebie?

About Cola

What life with Cola looks like

Cola is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
