How do I contact the shelter about Matka?

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

Can I adopt Matka if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Oaza dla Zwierząt Mielec 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 Matka 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 Matka 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 Oaza dla Zwierząt Mielec early rather than rehoming privately; they know Matka 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 Matka

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Meet Mother – a delicate spirit with ears like Yoda’s Matka is a small female dog with enormous, enchanting ears that resemble Master Yoda’s ears from the Star Wars films. But unlike the film hero, Matka doesn’t feel confident in this world… She is a very timid, withdrawn girl. When she sees a stranger, she can hide in her bed and not come out for a long time. Her safe world is with other dogs from the shelter – with them, she feels better, though still cautiously… Her socialization is a process that requires time, tenderness, and a great deal of patience. But every small sign of trust from her side is a true treasure and reward for anyone who decides to give her a chance Matka, just like every shelter animal deserves love, warmth, and their own home. Someone who doesn’t expect miracles right away but will be with her – quietly, patiently, with their heart on their sleeve Matka is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, declawed, and microchipped. Ready to begin a new chapter of her life. Maybe with you?

Poznajcie Matkę – kruchą duszyczkę z uszkami jak Yoda Matka to drobna sunia o ogromnych, czarujących uszach, które przypominają uszy samego Mistrza Yody z Gwiezdnych Wojen. Ale w odróżnieniu od filmowego bohatera, Matka nie czuje się jeszcze pewnie w tym świecie… To bardzo lękliwa, wycofana dziewczynka. Gdy widzi nieznajomego, potrafi schować się w swoim legowisku i nie wychodzić przez dłuższy czas. Jej bezpiecznym światem są inne psiaki z wybiegu — z nimi czuje się lepiej, choć nadal ostrożnie… Jej socjalizacja to proces, który wymaga czasu, czułości i ogromu cierpliwości. Ale każda drobna oznaka zaufania z jej strony to prawdziwy skarb i nagroda dla tego, kto postanowi dać jej szansę Matka, tak jak każde schroniskowe zwierzę, zasługuje na miłość, ciepło i własny dom. Kogoś, kto nie będzie oczekiwał cudów od razu, ale będzie przy niej — cicho, cierpliwie, z sercem na dłoni Matka jest wysterylizowana, zaszczepiona, odrobaczona, odpchlona i zaczipowana. Gotowa, by rozpocząć nowy rozdział życia. Może z Tobą?

About Matka

What life with Matka looks like

Matka is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Oaza dla Zwierząt Mielec in Poland.

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.
