Kayla

Female · Young · 2 years

Kayla had already found a home - unfortunately, her owner's circumstances meant she was back in the shelter. And she shouldn't be. There are dogs that love humans. And there are those that love them with all their hearts. Kayla is one of the latter. She's a young, energetic dog who becomes her owner's shadow once she gets to know them. She loves being close to humans, following them everywhere, and would love to spend all day with them. However, in the shelter, she's become more withdrawn and overwhelmed, hiding at the far end of the kennel. We don't want it to be like that... Kayla struggles with severe separation anxiety. This means she doesn't cope well with being alone and needs an owner who has the time, patience, and willingness to work with her on this problem. That's why she'll do best with someone who doesn't leave the dog alone for many hours, leads a quiet life or works from home, and understands that building a sense of security takes time. Besides, Kayla: * is clean in the house - she only goes to the bathroom outside, * loves playing, tug-of-war, and goofing around, * loves water - lakes, ponds, or even larger puddles bring her great joy, * lived with a cat and got along well with it, * played happily with dogs she had met before, * never showed aggression towards household members or bit a human. At the beginning of her acquaintance with strangers and dogs, she's shy and barks out of fear, but after a calm introduction, she quickly opens up and becomes very sociable. We maintain that Kayla should never have ended up back in the shelter. Maybe you'll give her the home she deserves?

Kayla miała już swój dom – niestety, okoliczności życiowe właścicielki sprawiły, że znowu jest w schronisku. A nie powinna być. Są psy, które kochają człowieka. A są też takie, które kochają go całym swoim sercem. Kayla należy właśnie do tej drugiej grupy. To młoda, pełna energii suczka, która po poznaniu opiekuna staje się jego cieniem. Uwielbia być blisko człowieka, chodzi za nim krok w krok i najchętniej spędzałaby z nim cały dzień. Natomiast w schronisku przygasła. Z każdym dniem staje się bardziej wycofana i przytłoczona, ucieka na drugi koniec boksu. Nie chcemy, żeby tak było…Kayla zmaga się z silnym lękiem separacyjnym. To oznacza, że źle znosi pozostawanie samej i potrzebuje opiekuna, który będzie miał czas, cierpliwość i chęć pracować z nią nad tym problemem. Dlatego najlepiej odnajdzie się u osoby, która nie zostawia psa samego na wiele godzin, prowadzi spokojny tryb życia lub pracuje z domu i rozumie, że budowanie poczucia bezpieczeństwa wymaga czasu. Poza tym, Kayla: – zachowuje czystość w domu – załatwia się wyłącznie na dworze, – uwielbia zabawę, szarpaki i wspólne wygłupy, – kocha wodę – jeziora, stawy czy nawet większe kałuże sprawiają jej ogromną radość, – mieszkała z kotem i dobrze się z nim dogadywała, – z psami, które wcześniej poznała, chętnie się bawiła, – nigdy nie wykazała agresji wobec domowników ani nie ugryzła człowieka. Na początku znajomości z obcymi ludźmi i psami bywa nieśmiała i szczeka ze strachu, jednak po spokojnym zapoznaniu szybko się otwiera i staje się bardzo kontaktowa. Utrzymujemy, że Kayla nigdy nie powinna była znów znaleźć się w schronisku. Może to Ty dasz jej dom, na który zasługuje?

About Kayla

What life with Kayla looks like

Kayla is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kayla, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kayla?
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 Kayla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kayla 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 Kayla 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 Kayla 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 Kayla 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.
