Ila

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 5 years

Here's a translation of the Polish animal shelter listing into clear, natural English: Ila is a lovely, friendly, and playful Labrador. She would be a great choice for a first-time pet owner, a family with children, or as a second dog in the home. Ila has mastered tricks like: forcing her owner to take her to the pool on walks, sniffing out packets of snacks in the trash, nudging things off tables, and eating sticks. Ila is currently on a diet and losing weight nicely. This has been going on for a while and has led to problems with hip dysplasia. Maybe that's why she loves water so much! We wholeheartedly recommend Ila!

Tutaj wystarczyłoby wkleić każdy opis rasy Labrador, który bylibyśmy w stanie znaleźć w Internecie. No może z pominięciem atletycznej budowy ciała. 🙂Ila to urocza, przyjazna i wesoła przedstawicielka tej rasy. Będzie dobrym wyborem dla początkującego opiekuna, dla rodziny z dziećmi, czy jako drugi pies w domu. Ila doskonale opanowała sztuczki typu:wymuszanie na spacerze trasy na basen,wyczuwanie pozycji opakowania po kabanosach w śmietniku,trącanie nosem, by coś spadło ze stołu,jedzenie patyków. Ila jest obecnie na diecie i ładnie zrzucamy jej nadwagę. Dłużej utrzymujący się ten stan poskutkował problemami z dysplazją. Może właśnie dlatego tak kocha wodę! Polecamy Ilę z całego serca!

About Ila

What life with Ila looks like

Ila is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Ila, answered.

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