How do I contact the shelter about Kira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kira if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Kira 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 Kira 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira 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.

Kira

Mixed Breed · Male

Hi! My name is Kira, I am a large American Staffordshire Terrier and I dream of a home that will appreciate my intelligence, potential and loyalty. My life started in difficult conditions, but today I am ready for a new beginning - with someone who will show me what a real, loving home looks like. I am an energetic dog and very willing to cooperate. I know many commands: "sit", "paw", "hop", "leg" or "crawl" are just some of my skills. I love walks, and for the past two years I have been going out regularly with a volunteer and I never caused her any problems. I am balanced, obedient and very focused on people. On walks I respond to calls and I always try to show my best side - just a little attention and work is needed for me to become your best companion. The animal shelter, although it is a safe place for me, is associated with a lot of stress that I cannot fully overcome. I believe that a home full of peace and love will help me find balance and show me what life without worries is like. I need a calm, experienced caregiver who will be my guide and give me a sense of security. Rules and consistency are key for me to feel good and confident. I have current vaccinations, I am dewormed, chipped and spayed. Maybe you are just the person I'm looking for? Come for a walk, meet me and see how special I am. The home I'm looking for could be everything for me. I'm waiting for you with hope! female dog has allergies, needs to receive Apoquel and omega acids, also receives Kalmvet in connection with difficulties in dealing with stressful situations. Monthly treatment cost: 410 zł.

Cześć! Mam na imię Kira, jestem dużą sunią w typie amstaffa i marzę o domu, który doceni moją inteligencję, potencjał i wierność. Moje życie zaczęło się w trudnych warunkach, ale dziś jestem gotowa na nowy start – z kimś, kto pokaże mi, jak wygląda prawdziwy, kochający dom. Jestem psem pełnym energii i bardzo chętnym do współpracy. Znam mnóstwo komend: „siad”, „łapa”, „hop”, „noga” czy „czołgaj się” to tylko część z moich umiejętności. Uwielbiam spacery, a przez ostatnie dwa lata regularnie wychodzę z wolontariuszką i nigdy nie sprawiłam jej żadnych problemów. Jestem zrównoważona, posłuszna i bardzo skupiona na człowieku. Na spacerach reaguję na przywołanie i zawsze staram się pokazać z jak najlepszej strony – wystarczy odrobina uwagi i pracy, bym stała się Twoją najlepszą towarzyszką. Schronisko, choć jest dla mnie bezpiecznym miejscem, wiąże się z dużym stresem, którego nie potrafię do końca przezwyciężyć. Wierzę, że dom, pełen spokoju i miłości, pomoże mi odnaleźć równowagę i pokaże, jak wygląda życie bez trosk. Potrzebuję spokojnego, doświadczonego opiekuna, który będzie dla mnie przewodnikiem i da mi poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Zasady i konsekwencja to dla mnie klucz, by czuć się dobrze i pewnie. Mam aktualne szczepienia, jestem odrobaczona, zaczipowana i po zabiegu sterylizacji.Może to właśnie Ty jesteś moim człowiekiem? Przyjdź na spacer, poznaj mnie i zobacz, jaka jestem wyjątkowa. Dom, którego szukam, może być dla mnie wszystkim. Czekam na Ciebie z nadzieją!Suczka ma problemy alergiczne, musi otrzymywać Apoquel i kwasy omega, ponadto otrzymuje Kalmvet w związku nieradzeniem sobie w sytuacjach stresowych. Miesięczny koszt leczenia: 410 zł.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
