Adopt Frezja

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Frezja, a female dog born in 2017, is a steady and well-mannered senior. She arrived with us quite disoriented and lost, which is not uncommon. However, on the second day of her stay, she began to display aggression towards people. Interestingly, once on a leash, she calmed down and could even be petted. It took a few days, but the couple of caretakers managed to earn her trust, though it wasn't easy. Frezja now delights in their sight and no longer barks so fearfully. She is definitely very cautious and unsure, especially when in her own kennel. She simply needs more time to get to know someone's intentions. On a walk on a leash, Frezja seems to be in much better spirits and even approaches strangers with a wagging tail. She must really enjoy this, and it's clear she walks well on a leash. She finds great joy in meeting other dogs at our play area and we've never seen her get into any conflicts. Even after living in a large kennel with another dog for some time, she settled in well. Frezja loves being petted and snuggled by her favorite caretakers, especially the ear-rubbing brings her great joy. She perks up around people and doesn't like to be left alone. She would undoubtedly be best off in a home where she would always have a person by her side. It's worth working on earning her trust because she could certainly become a loyal friend for years. Despite her age, Frezja is in excellent condition and has plenty of time ahead. Currently weighing 21 kilograms, this is an optimal weight for her. We invite you to meet her in person and give her a chance at a better life. Frezja is neutered, de-clawed, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed.

Frezja, sunia urodzona w 2017r. Frezja to stateczna, grzeczna seniorka. Przyjechała do nas mocno zdezorientowana i zagubiona co dosyć często się zdarza. Natomiast drugiego dnia pobytu zaczęła przejawiać agresję w stosunku do ludzi. Co ciekawe po założeniu smyczy uspokajała się i można ją było nawet pogłaskać. Minęło kilka dni i dwójce opiekunów udało się już zdobyć jej zaufanie, ale nie było to łatwe. Frezja już cieszy się na ich widok i nie szczeka tak przeraźliwie. Na pewno w stosunku do obcych jest bardzo ostrożna i nieufna, zwłaszcza kiedy przebywa w swoim boksie. Ona po prostu potrzebuje więcej czasu żeby poznać zamiary danej osoby. Na spacerze na smyczy Frezja wydaje się mieć znacznie lepszy humor i wtedy z machającym ogonkiem podchodzi nawet do obcych. Ona naprawdę musi to lubić, a trzeba przyznać że na smyczy spaceruje wzorowo. Bardzo fajnie odnajduje się na naszym wybiegu w towarzystwie innych psiaków i jeszcze nie widzieliśmy żeby wpadła w jakiekolwiek konflikty. Nawet z czasem zamieszkała w wielkim boksie z drugą sunią i dobrze się tam odnaleźli. Frezja uwielbia być głaskana i przytulana przez swoich ulubionych opiekunów, zwłaszcza drapanie za uszkiem sprawia jej wielką frajdę. Ona ożywia się przy człowieku i nie lubi zostawać sama. Na pewno najlepiej byłoby jej w domu gdzie miałaby cały czas człowieka przy boku. Warto popracować nad zdobyciem jej zaufania bo na pewno można zyskać wierną przyjaciółkę na lata. Mimo swojego wieku Frezja jest w naprawdę w dobrej kondycji i jeszcze ma dużo czasu przed sobą. Obecnie waży 21 kilogramów i jest to dosyć optymalna waga dla niej. Zapraszamy do jej odwiedzin suńki na żywo i podarowania jej szansy na lepsze życie. Frezja jest odrobaczona, odpchlona, zaszczepiona, zaczipowana i wysterylizowana.

About Frezja

What life with Frezja looks like

Frezja is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Janik (Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski) 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Frezja, answered.

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