Koka

Female · Adult · 4 years

Koka is a beautiful female dog of the ttb type, who came to the shelter as a result of an intervention. In the first contact, she is cautious and distrustful, she needs time to build a relationship and trust a person, which is why the pre-adoption process must be multi-stage. Touch is not comfortable for her, but she accepts grooming activities by trusted people. She loves wet food and chews, which she patiently waits for after a walk. On walks, she sniffs a lot, explores, rolls in the grass. We often maintain a fast pace, but also more and more often there are walks on a loose leash. Koka does not accept other dogs, she gets very excited at their sight and it's hard for her to let go, and although she manages to do it more and more often, we are looking for a home for her outside the city or on its outskirts, where she can go on calm, long walks in places where meeting another dog will be the exception rather than the rule. Koka previously lived in conditions that did not take into account her needs or provide safety, so she will best find herself with a person who knows the specifics of the ttb breed and can work with reactivity.

PL·Show original

Koka jest przepiękną sunią w typie ttb, która trafiła do schroniska w wyniku interwencji. W pierwszym kontakcie jest ostrożna i nieufna, potrzebuje czasu żeby zbudować relację i zaufać człowiekowi, dlatego też proces przedadopcyjny musi być wieloetapowy. Dotyk nie jest dla niej komfortowy, ale akceptuje czynności pielęgnacyjne przez zaufane osoby. Uwielbia mokrą karmę i gryzaki, na które grzecznie czeka po zakończonym spacerze. Na spacerach dużo węszy, eksploruje, tarza się w trawie. Często zachowujemy intensywne tempo, ale też coraz częściej zdarzają się spacerki na luźnej smyczy. Koka nie akceptuje innych psów, bardzo się pobudza na ich widok i ciężko jej odpuścić i mimo, że coraz częściej jej się to udaje to szukamy dla niej domu poza miastem lub na jego obrzeżach, gdzie będzie mogła chodzić na spokojne, długie spacery w miejsca gdzie spotkanie innego psa będzie raczej wyjątkiem niż regułą. Koka żyła wcześniej w warunkach, które nie uwzględniały jej potrzeb, ani nie zapewniały bezpieczeństwa dlatego najlepiej odnajdzie się przy osobie, która zna specyfikę rasy ttb i potrafi pracować z reaktywnością.

About Koka

What life with Koka looks like

Koka is a medium-sized adult 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. 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 Koka, answered.

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