Holly

Female · Senior · 14 years

Holly is a female dog, who in the first contact is a bit shy and embarrassed, still needs to work on trusting humans. However, she is very vocal through the kennel run. She shows no aggression, if approached calmly, she easily allows herself to be picked up. She likes being petted. She has not fully mastered walking on a leash, there are moments when she walks and then suddenly stops with her paws on the sidewalk - she definitely walks better on grass, where she likes to take a walk and lie in the sun. In home conditions, she will surely open up much faster. She will find her way both in an apartment and in a house with a garden. This is not a female dog that can be left alone in the yard immediately, especially at first, someone needs to watch over her.

Holly to sunia, która w pierwszym kontakcie jest nieco nieśmiała i zawstydzona, wciąż trzeba z nią pracować nad tym, aby zaufała człowiekowi. Za to przez kojec jest bardzo szczekliwa. Nie wykazuje żadnej agresji, jeżeli podejdzie się do niej na spokojnie, to bez problemu daje się brać na ręce. Lubi głaskanie. Nie do końca jeszcze opanowała chodzenie na smyczy, ma momenty, że idzie, a po chwili zapiera się łapkami na chodniku - zdecydowanie lepiej idzie jej na trawie, gdzie lubi pospacerować i wylegiwać się w słońcu. W domowych warunkach z pewnością o wiele szybciej się otworzy. Odnajdzie się zarówno w mieszkaniu, jak i w domu z ogrodem. Nie jest to sunia, która od razu może zostać sama na podwórku, szczególnie na początku trzeba mieć na nią oko.

About Holly

What life with Holly looks like

Holly is a small senior dog waiting at Funny Pets Czartki 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 Holly, answered.

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