How do I contact the shelter about Esperanza?

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

Can I adopt Esperanza if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GRUPA RATUJ Wrocław 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 Esperanza 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 Esperanza 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 GRUPA RATUJ Wrocław early rather than rehoming privately; they know Esperanza 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.

Esperanza

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

I am a senior who still wants to live and love. Behind me are difficult months - I was very close to the end a few times, but my will to live turned out to be stronger. Thanks to that, I am still here and I look around hopefully for my human. I am a sweet girl with a light, mischievous smile. In life, I value above all two things: good food and a peaceful sleep. Long walks are no longer exactly my thing, but I gladly and politely follow the caregiver. I can be stubborn, that's true, but for a human I would do really a lot. I will take medicine for the rest of my life - they support my joints, pancreas and thyroid. I eat the pills without any problem, especially if they are given with a treat. Once a month I also get an injection, which makes it easier for me to walk. Stairs are not a challenge for me. I am a calm and trouble-free girl. I accept cats and other dogs - most of the time I just ignore them, though pushy dogs can somewhat overwhelm me. I wear a diaper at home, but not because I have accidents - it's a behavioral leftover from tumors in the area of the vulva. We believe that in a home with a garden I will quickly learn to take care of my needs exclusively outside. I am definitely more than 10 years old, weigh about 10 kg and am spayed. I'm looking for a permanent home, but I would gladly consider a lifetime foster home - a place where I can spend my autumn of life calmly and safely.

Jestem seniorką, która wciąż bardzo chce żyć i kochać. Za mną trudne miesiące – kilka razy byłam naprawdę blisko końca, ale moja wola życia okazała się silniejsza. Dzięki temu wciąż tu jestem i z nadzieją rozglądam się za swoim człowiekiem. Jestem przesłodką sunią z lekkim, zawadiackim uśmiechem. W życiu cenię sobie przede wszystkim dwie rzeczy: dobre jedzenie i spokojny sen. Długie spacery to już nie do końca moja bajka, ale chętnie i grzecznie podążam obok opiekuna. Bywam uparta, to prawda, jednak dla człowieka zrobiłabym naprawdę wiele. Do końca życia będę przyjmować leki – wspierają moje stawy, trzustkę i tarczycę. Tabletki zjadam bez problemu, zwłaszcza jeśli są podane ze smaczkiem. Raz w miesiącu dostaję też zastrzyk, dzięki któremu łatwiej mi się chodzi. Schody nie są dla mnie żadnym wyzwaniem. Jestem spokojną i bezproblemową dziewczyną. Akceptuję koty oraz inne psy – najczęściej po prostu je ignoruję, choć natarczywe psiaki mogą mnie trochę onieśmielać. W domu noszę pieluszkę, ale nie dlatego, że popuszczam – to pozostałość behawioralna po guzach w okolicy cewki. Wierzymy, że w domu z ogrodem szybko nauczę się załatwiać potrzeby wyłącznie na zewnątrz. Mam na pewno więcej niż 10 lat, ważę około 10 kg i jestem wykastrowana. Szukam domu stałego, ale z wdzięcznością rozważę także dożywotni dom tymczasowy – miejsca, w którym będę mogła spokojnie i bezpiecznie spędzić swoją jesień życia.

About Esperanza

What life with Esperanza looks like

Esperanza is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at GRUPA RATUJ Wrocław in Poland.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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.
