Gaja

Female

Gaja is an 8-year-old female dog who came to us from the Ostrów Mazowiecka municipality. She is a calm, well-behaved and gentle dog who adjusts easily to new environments. Gaja shows no aggression towards people or other animals. She is friendly and enjoys human interaction. She walks nicely on a leash, indicating that she may have had a home and life with humans before. Unfortunately, Gaja arrived with a tumor on her belly, which is why she needs extra care and attention. Despite her experiences, she has not lost trust in people. Gaja is looking for a quiet and loving home where she can feel safe and spend her senior years surrounded by love. DON'T BUY - ADOPT!

Gaja czeka na wirtualnego opiekuna Gaja to około 8-letnia suczka, która trafiła do nas z gminy Ostrów Mazowiecka. To spokojna, ułożona i łagodna psinka, która z dużym spokojem odnajduje się w nowym dla niej miejscu. Sunia nie wykazuje agresji ani wobec ludzi, ani wobec innych zwierząt. Jest przyjazna i lubi kontakt z człowiekiem. Pięknie chodzi na smyczy, co pokazuje, że najprawdopodobniej miała kiedyś swój dom i zna życie u boku człowieka. Niestety Gaja przyjechała do nas z guzem na brzuchu, dlatego tym bardziej zasługuje na troskę i opiekę. Mimo swoich doświadczeń nie straciła zaufania do ludzi. Gaja szuka spokojnego i kochającego domu, w którym będzie mogła poczuć się bezpiecznie i spędzić swoje dojrzałe lata otoczona miłością. NIE KUPUJ – ADOPTUJ !

About Gaja

What life with Gaja looks like

Gaja is a large adult dog waiting at Fundacja Przyjaciele Braci Mniejszych in Poland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Gaja, answered.

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