GRZANKA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

GRZANKA 60270 (POA) - SENIORIN - Female, spayed, born circa 2016, shoulder height circa 44-45 cm I saw the female in a kennel with 5 other dogs, males and females (including the blind Sonic). She has such a sweet face, she immediately caught my eye. That's why I asked to have her taken out. Friendly, calm, she stood in front of us, enjoyed being petted. I was told her sad story: a TS association had intervened with a family because 5 dogs were locked in a room while the man was at work. The caretaker said the TH never took the dogs away because they were in good condition. It was a grandmother, mother and children. Some time later the man got a dog back, the mother. The others remained in the TH, the grandmother with almost no chance of ever leaving again. She walks well on a leash, has a lipoma on her left hind leg, which is not very large. According to the TH, she gets along well with other dogs. (08/2026 B/GP)

GRZANKA 60270 (POA) – SENIORIN - Hündin, kastriert, geb. ca. 2016, Schulterhöhe ca. 44-45 cm Die Hündin sah ich in einem Zwinger mit 5 anderen Hunden, Rüden und Hündinnen (u.a. dem blinden Sonic). Sie hat so ein liebes Gesicht, fiel mir sofort auf. Daher bat ich um ihr Herausholen. Freundlich, ruhig, stand sie vor uns, ließ sich gerne streicheln. Man erzählte mir ihre traurige Geschichte: ein TS Verein hatte eine Intervention bei einer Familie betrieben, weil 5 Hunde in einem Raum eingesperrt waren, während der Mann zur Arbeit war. Die Pflegerin sagte, das TH hätte die Hunde dort nie weggenommen, weil sie in einem guten Zustand waren. Es waren Großmutter, Mutter und Kinder. Einige Zeit später hat der Mann einen Hund wiederbekommen, die Mutter. Die anderen verblieben im TH, die Großmutter mit so gut wie keiner Chance, dies noch einmal verlassen zu können. Sie läuft gut an der Leine, hat auf dem linken Hinterschenkel ein Lipom, welches nicht sehr groß ist. Lt. TH versteht sie sich gut mit anderen Hunden. (08/2026 B/GP)

About GRZANKA

What life with GRZANKA looks like

GRZANKA is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Polen in Dierkshausen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting GRZANKA, answered.

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