Ela

Female · Adult · 5 years

OK. 5 YEARS 616093903156332 (49/26) VACCINATIONS: YES BOBSLEDS: 1 Ela is about a 5-year-old female dog who defies description with a single word. Energy, joy, emotions, and a huge need to connect with a human being mix in her every day, creating a dog beside which it's simply impossible to remain indifferent. Ela loves people with her entire doggy heart. She can snuggle into a human, rest her paws, and look straight into their eyes as if she's known them forever. And then a moment later, she's already running off with a toy, ready for another game and a new adventure. At the animal shelter "Promyk" in Gdańsk, she's also known for her... voice. Ela is a true "songbird" who eagerly comments on the world in her own way and can express emotions very loudly. One of her favorite activities is playing with plush toys and tug-of-war. Tearing apart toys, however, is not done out of malice—it's a natural need to express doggy instincts and a way to release emotions. Ela is a female dog for active, aware people who are ready to love a dog exactly as she is—fiery, emotional, and full of life. Ela needs a home that won't try to "dampen" her character but will learn to channel her energy wisely and derive joy from her. Because Ela is not just a dog. Ela is a true event.

ELA OK. 5 LAT 616093903156332 (49/26) SZCZEPIENIA: TAK BOKS: 1 Ela to około 5-letnia suczka, którą trudno opisać jednym słowem. Energia, radość, emocje i ogromna potrzeba kontaktu z człowiekiem mieszają się w niej każdego dnia, tworząc psa, obok którego po prostu nie da się przejść obojętnie. Ela kocha ludzi całym swoim psim sercem. Potrafi wtulić się w człowieka, oprzeć łapki i spojrzeć prosto w oczy tak, jakby znała Cię od zawsze. A chwilę później biegnie już dalej z aporterem, gotowa na kolejną zabawę i nową przygodę. W Schronisku „Promyk” w Gdańsku znana jest także ze swojego… głosu. Ela to prawdziwa „śpiewaczka”, która bardzo chętnie komentuje świat po swojemu i potrafi wyrażać emocje naprawdę głośno. Jedną z jej ulubionych aktywności jest zabawa pluszakami i szarpakami. Rozszarpywanie zabawek nie wynika jednak ze złośliwości — to naturalna potrzeba realizowania psich instynktów oraz sposób na rozładowanie emocji. To suczka dla osób aktywnych, świadomych i gotowych pokochać psa dokładnie takim, jaki jest — żywiołowy, emocjonalny i pełen życia. Ela potrzebuje domu, który nie będzie próbował „wyciszyć” jej charakteru, ale nauczy się mądrze kierować jej energią i czerpać z niej radość. Bo Ela to nie jest po prostu pies.Ela to prawdziwe wydarzenie. Skontaktuj się ze schroniskiem i umów na spotkanie z Elą 58/522 37 80 codziennie w godz.

About Ela

What life with Ela looks like

Ela is a adult dog waiting at Schronisko Promyk Gdańsk in Gdansk.

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 Ela, answered.

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