Adopt Edzia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Edzia is 2 years old and is a small fox terrier on higher legs. The animal shelter very much paralyzes her, so she currently avoids contact with people. She is working with an animal behaviorist and is making small progress. She still cannot walk on a leash, but everything is ahead of her. She gets along with other dogs and needs a calm, patient home.

Edzia ma 2 lata i jest małą sunią na wyższych łapkach. Schronisko bardzo ją paraliżuje, dlatego na razie unika kontaktu z człowiekiem. Pracuje z nią behawiorystka i robi małe postępy. Nie potrafi jeszcze chodzić na smyczy, ale wszystko jest przed nią. Zgadza się z innymi psami i potrzebuje spokojnego, cierpliwego domu.

About Edzia

What life with Edzia looks like

Edzia is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Pod Wiatrakami (Ostrów Wlkp.) in Poland.

An young 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 Edzia, answered.

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