Ivy

Mixed Breed · Female

An 8-year-old, dignified female dog with an impressive weight and an even greater heart for "her" people. Her story is complex - after a successful adoption and more than a year spent in a home, Ivy began to show strong territorial and hunting behaviors towards other dogs, which forced the owners to return her for safety reasons. Today Ivy is learning trust and stability again at the shelter, showing her most beautiful side. She is a female dog extremely devoted to her caregiver, for whom she is completely smitten. Although she can be a nervous one at the vet, with the support of a trusted person she allows almost anything to be done to her. Ivy is very intelligent - she knows commands such as "sit", "lie down", "target" or recall, although she definitely prefers joint exploration of new areas instead of training sessions. On walks she is cheerful and calm, unless she sees a deer - then she can show her strength. Importantly, Ivy feels great in the company of other dogs (especially loves black dogs and smaller males). She can be a great, patient support for them, and during play she can even give back a toy. We are looking for a responsible home for Ivy without small children (due to her size - over 40 kg - she might accidentally knock over a toddler) and without cats. Ivy would perfectly fit as the only dog or alongside a stable, balanced dog. She is a female dog that needs a guide who gives her vocal support and a sense of security. In return, she will repay with unlimited loyalty and celebrating every walk together. — METRICS — 🧮 Age: 03/2018 🚻 Gender: female 🐾 Size: 40.75 kg 🏀 Activity: medium ❤️ Neutering: yes ℹ️ Chip: yes 💉 Vaccinations: yes 📍 Location:

PL·Show original

Ośmioletnia, dostojna sunia o imponującej masie i jeszcze większym sercu dla „swoich” ludzi. Jej historia jest złożona – po udanej adopcji i ponad roku spędzonym w domu, Ivy zaczęła wykazywać silne zachowania terytorialne i łowieckie wobec innych psów, co zmusiło właścicieli do oddania jej ze względów bezpieczeństwa. Dziś Ivy w azylu uczy się na nowo zaufania i stabilności, pokazując swoje najpiękniejsze oblicze. To sunia niezwykle oddana opiekunowi, dla którego jest przekochana. Choć bywa panikarą u weterynarza, przy wsparciu zaufanej osoby daje przy sobie zrobić niemal wszystko. Ivy jest bardzo inteligentna – zna komendy takie jak „siad”, „leżeć”, „target” czy przywołanie, choć zamiast nauki na placu treningowym zdecydowanie woli wspólną eksplorację nowych terenów. Na spacerach jest radosna i spokojna, o ile nie zobaczy sarny – wtedy potrafi pokazać swoją siłę. Co ważne, Ivy świetnie czuje się w towarzystwie innych psów (szczególnie kocha czarne psy i mniejszych samców). Potrafi być dla nich świetnym, cierpliwym wsparciem, a w zabawie potrafi nawet oddać zabawkę. Szukamy dla Ivy odpowiedzialnego domu bez małych dzieci (ze względu na jej gabaryty – ponad 40 kg – może nieumyślnie przewrócić malucha) oraz bez kotów. Ivy idealnie odnajdzie się jako jedynaczka lub u boku stabilnego, zrównoważonego psa. To sunia, która potrzebuje przewodnika dającego jej wsparcie głosowe i poczucie bezpieczeństwa. W zamian odwdzięczy się bezgraniczną lojalnością i wspólnym celebrowaniem każdego spaceru. — METRYCZKA — 🧮 Wiek: 03/2018 r. 🚻 Płeć: suka 🐾 Wielkość: 40,75 kg 🏀 Aktywność: średnia ❤️ Kastracja: tak ℹ️ Czip: tak 💉 Szczepienia: tak 📍 Miejsce pobytu: Azyl pod Płońskiem KONTAKT W SPRAWIE ADOPCJI 730-116-503 Telefon odbierany jest od poniedziałku do piątku w godzinach 10-19, w weekendy w godzinach 12-16.

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu in Poland.

An 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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ivy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ivy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ivy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ivy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ivy 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 Ivy 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 Judyta dla Psiego Losu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ivy 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.
