Lirka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

The story of Lirka came under our care in October 2025. She is a female dog who was rescued from a yard where 21 dogs lived and reproduced among themselves. From the beginning, she has shown herself to be gentle, sensitive, and delicate. A female dog needing tenderness, calmness, and patience. Under our care, Lirka is developing beautifully. She is increasingly seeking attention and enjoys seeing people. Lirka is learning to walk on a leash and is discovering new stimuli, which she has seen very little of on the rural yard. Lirka should already be on the way to a new home, and under the care of her caregiver, she will make further progress. I am sure she will be a wonderful companion! For Lirka, we are looking for a home in a quieter urban or suburban area. Lirka has proper contacts with other dogs, but due to her difficult life in a large pack, she sometimes shows resource guarding towards other dogs. We do not know her relationship with cats.

Historia Lirka trafiła pod naszą opiekę w październiku 2025 roku. Jest suczką odebraną interwencyjnie z podwórka na którym żyło i mnożyło się między sobą 21 psów. Od początku dała się poznać jako łagodna, wrażliwa i delikatna suczka. Suczka potrzebująca czułości, spokoju i cierpliwości. Pod naszym okiem Lirka pięknie się rozwija. Coraz częściej prosi uwagę i cieszy się na widok człowieka. Lirka szlifuje naukę chodzenia na smyczy i poznaje nowe bodźce, których dotychczas oglądała niewiele na podlaskim podwórku. Lirka powinna wyruszyć już w drogę do nowego domu i pod okiem swojego opiekuna czynić kolejne postępy. Jestem pewna, że będzie wspaniała towarzyszką ! dla Lirki poszukujemy domu w spokojniejszej okolicy miejskiej, lub podmiejskiej. Lirka ma poprawne kontakty z innymi psami, ale z racji na trudne życie w dużym stadzie zdarza jej się wobec innych psów prezentować obronę zasobów. Nie znamy jej stosunku do kotów.

About Lirka

What life with Lirka looks like

Lirka is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Zwierzęca Polana in Warszawa.

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 Lirka, answered.

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