How do I contact the shelter about HANKA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw HANKA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt HANKA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) 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 HANKA 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 HANKA 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 AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) early rather than rehoming privately; they know HANKA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt HANKA

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Purebred American Staffy, born on 17.09.2022. Appearance: white and red patches. Temperament: lack of upbringing and socialization, very friendly towards people and animals. Health: healthy. Place of stay: temporary home, Minsk Mazowiecki. The dog is under a deposit, currently not available for adoption. Hannah, also known as HANKA, is a purebred American Staffy, taken in during an intervention with the other dogs from the ZKwP breeding. She is the last dog from this intervention that arrived on our board and will be waiting here until the legal proceedings are completed. Hania is under a deposit, due to the fact that the owner has not renounced her ownership rights. Therefore, she can only go to a temporary home. Hania was born on 17.09.2022. Who is HANKA? Of all the dogs we have accepted, she is the most in need of work and attention. She shows signs of extreme attachment to people and has little independence. She is a dog with no training. She has accidents with cleanliness and has difficulty being left alone. These aspects will need work. She is shy (fortunately not in an advanced stage). At the same time, she is however a great dog for work. She is cooperative and with appropriately engaged work and time, she will be a great dog. HANKA is very nice to people and very gentle in contact with children. She can calmly live with dogs. We think she is suitable for living in a house with a cat. HANKA is looking for a temporary home in the Warsaw, Poznan or Tricity area due to the ongoing deposit. Dear people, if any of you are looking for a dog for work with a calm appearance, then HANKA recommends herself to your attention. People willing to give her a temporary home are welcome to contact us by email: 18.08.2025 We have good news for you about our Hannah - it worked and HANKA has already moved into her temporary home, and Agnieszka and Dawid from Warsaw have taken care of her. Now our little girl faces many challenges. In the house, in the garden and in relations with dogs, she finds herself very well, but the outside world is more difficult for her. HANKA is just learning that walks can be enjoyable, and such "oddities" as bus stops or tractors are simply part of everyday life. Her temporary caretakers approach the training with great patience and step by step help her get used to new experiences. We also plan examinations - starting with a visit to a dermatologist. All the female dog from this same intervention showed symptoms of allergies, and we are also observing mild symptoms in Hania. Keep your fingers crossed for Hania and her DT, and we will keep you updated on how our brave girl is developing.

rodowodowa amstaffka, urodzona 17.09.2022 r. Wygląd: w biało-rude plamy. Charakter: braki w wychowaniu i socjalizacji, bardzo przyjazna do ludzi i zwierząt.Zdrowie: zdrowa.Miejsce pobytu: dom tymczasowy, Mińsk Mazowiecki.Pies objęty depozytem, w chwili obecnej nie do adopcji. Hannah, czyli po domowemu Hanka, to rodowodowa amstaffka, odebrana w drodze interwencji z pozostałymi psiakami z hodowli ZKwP. Jest ostatnią sunią z tej interwencji, która dotarła na nasz pokład i tutaj będzie oczekiwać na zakończenie postępowania sądowego. Hania jest objęta depozytem, z uwagi na fakt, że właścicielka nie zrzekła się prawa własności. Może więc trafić jedynie do domu tymczasowego. Hania urodziła się 17.09.2022 r. Jaka jest Hanka? Ze wszystkich psów które przyjęliśmy, jest najbardziej potrzebująca pracy i uwagi człowieka. Wykazuje cechy nadprzywiązania do człowieka i małą niezależność. Jest psiakiem niczego nie nauczonym. Ma wpadki z czystością, słabo radzi sobie zostawiana sama. W tych aspektach trzeba będzie popracować. Jest lękowa (na szczęście nie w zaawansowanym stopniu). Równocześnie jest jednak fajnym psiakiem do pracy. Jest współpracująca i przy odpowiednio zaangażowanej pracy i czasie będzie super psem.Hanka jest bardzo miła dla ludzi i bardzo delikatna w kontaktach z dziećmi. Może spokojnie zamieszkać z psami. Wydaje nam się, że rokuje do zamieszkania w domu z kotem. Hanka poszukuje domu tymczasowego w okolicy Warszawy, Poznania lub Trójmiasta z uwagi na ciążący depozyt. Kochani, jeśli ktoś z Was poszukuje suni do pracy o łagodnej aparycji, to Hanka poleca się Waszej uwadze. Osoby chętne podarować jej DT zapraszamy do kontaktu drogą mailową: 18.08.2025 Mamy dla Was dobre wieści o naszej Hannah - udało się i Hanka przeprowadziła się już do swojego DT, a opiekę nad nią objęli Agnieszka i Dawid spod Warszawy. Przed naszą dziewuszką stoi teraz sporo wyzwań. W domu, w ogrodzie i w relacjach z psami odnajduje się znakomicie, natomiast świat zewnętrzny jest dla niej trudniejszy. Hanka dopiero uczy się, że spacery mogą być przyjemnością, a takie „dziwactwa” jak przystanki czy traktory to po prostu elementy codzienności. Jej tymczasowi opiekunowie podchodzą do nauk z ogromną cierpliwością i krok po kroku pomagają jej oswajać nowe doświadczenia. W planach mamy też badania - na start wizyta u dermatologa. U wszystkich suczek z tej samej interwencji pojawiły się objawy alergii i również u Hanny obserwujemy lekkie objawy. Trzymajcie kciuki za Hankę i jej DT, a my będziemy Was na bieżąco informować, jak rozwija się ta nasza dzielna dziewczynka.

About HANKA

What life with HANKA looks like

HANKA is a young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) in Poland.

An young 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.
