Adopt Kawka

Female

Virtual Guardians are Deza, Amir, Aila, Abi ♥ Kawka was found in the territory of the Wieliszew municipality. This is a very shy and withdrawn female dog. When she first arrived at our animal shelter, she hid behind the shed and didn't want to come out. It took a little time, but daily work with Kawką yielded results. Today, the female dog runs around the premises, eats treats from your hand, and allows herself to be touched. She still doesn't approach people on her own initiative, but we believe that this is just a matter of time. Leashes paralyze her, so to avoid adding additional stress, we took photos on a leash. The female dog enjoys human touch, she wants to be petted and gently touched. She gets along well with other dogs as well as with puppies. She loves their company. Then she becomes braver. Kawka still needs a little more time to open up and fully trust humans. She needs a person who will show her that there's nothing to be afraid of and that the world needs to be explored.

Wirtualnymi Opiekunami są Deza, Amir, Aila, Abi ♥ Kawka została znaleziona na terenie gminy Wieliszew. To bardzo nieśmiała i wycofana sunia. Gdy trafiła do naszego schroniska, chowała się za budę, nie chciała wychodzić. Minęło troszkę czasu, codzienna praca z Kawką dała efekty. Dziś sunia biega już po terenie, je z ręki przysmaki, daje się dotykać. Nie wychodzi jeszcze pierwsza z inicjatywą zapoznania się z człowiekiem, ale wierzymy, że to tylko kwestia czasu. Smycz i obroża ją paraliżuje, więc żeby nie dokładać jej dodatkowego stresu zrobiliśmy zdjęcia na lince. Sunia lubi dotyk człowieka, chce być głaskana, delikatnie dotykana. Świetnie dogaduje się z innymi psami jak i z suczkami. Lubi ich towarzystwo. Robi się wtedy śmielsza. Kawka potrzebuje jeszcze odrobinę czasu żeby otworzyć się i w pełni, zaufać człowiekowi. Potrzebuje człowieka, który zechce pokazać jej, że nie ma się czego bać, że świat trzeba poznawać.

About Kawka

What life with Kawka looks like

Kawka is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Fundacja Przyjaciele Braci Mniejszych 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kawka, answered.

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