How do I contact the shelter about Lawasz?

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 Lawasz on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lawasz 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 Lawasz 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 Lawasz 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 Lawasz 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.

Adopt Lawasz

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hi, I'm Lawasz. I was born on June 2, 2022 in Ukraine. Some time later, together with my family, I came to Poland. Unfortunately, I got sick and started urinating outside the litter box. It also looked like the operation I had before was performed incorrectly. My owners no longer wanted to fight for me, so on February 2, 2026, they stood in front of the animal shelter with me. At first, I behaved very aggressively. No one could even get close to me. But here everyone gets a chance - so did I. It turned out that for many months I had been living in great pain. I wasn't able to empty my bladder, which is why my aggressive behavior. The caretakers decided to perform an operation that would save my life. No one knew if it would work ... Fortunately, about a week after the operation I started to regain my good humor. We have already had subsequent check-ups and everything is going in the right direction. There is no doubt that I was given a second life. Today I love to cuddle and am an extremely sociable cat. Only one question remains unanswered ... Will I still find a loving home?

Cześć, jestem Lawasz. Urodziłem się 2 czerwca 2022 roku na Ukrainie. Jakiś czas później razem z moją rodziną przyjechałem do Polski. Niestety rozchorowałem się i zacząłem sikać poza kuwetą. Wszystko wskazywało też na to, że zabieg, który wcześniej przeszedłem, został wykonany nieprawidłowo.Moi właściciele nie chcieli już o mnie walczyć, więc 2 lutego 2026 roku stanęli ze mną w progach schroniska.Na początku zachowywałem się bardzo agresywnie. Nikt nie mógł nawet zbliżyć do mnie ręki. Ale tutaj każdy dostaje szansę — więc i ja ją dostałem. Okazało się, że od wielu miesięcy żyłem w ogromnym bólu. Nie byłem w stanie opróżniać pęcherza, stąd moje agresywne zachowanie. Opiekunowie podjęli decyzję o operacji ratującej moje życie. Nikt nie wiedział, czy się uda… Na szczęście mniej więcej tydzień po zabiegu zacząłem odzyskiwać dobry humor. Jesteśmy już po kolejnych kontrolach i wszystko idzie w dobrym kierunku. Bez wątpienia można powiedzieć, że dostałem drugie życie.Dziś uwielbiam się przytulać i jestem niezwykle towarzyskim kotkiem.Tylko jedno pytanie wciąż pozostaje bez odpowiedzi…Czy uda mi się jeszcze znaleźć kochający dom?

About Lawasz

What life with Lawasz looks like

Lawasz 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.
