Adopt Matrioszka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Edit, after over a year since adoption during the 2024 holidays, the kitten returned to us. She was given back to the Krakowskie animal shelter by her friends' caregiver. If not for our agreement with the animal shelter, we might never have known. Matrioszka has a kitten with a white spot, or a FeLV+ in dormancy, which only shows up on the PCR test. She had surgery to remove the retained teeth that weren't taken care of. She is currently coming around and will be looking for a home. *** Matrioszka from Jankowice is already healthy and ready for a home. She is preliminarily socialized but must get to know a person to trust them. She uses a litter box. MATRIOSZKA is not happy in our Cat Shelter. She is sad, apathetic, and not interested in toys. Even though she seems healthy, there is a lack of life in her small body. Think about her, maybe a corner of your home could be a place for this little sprout...

Miała operację usunięcia ząbków, które nie zostały zadbane. Aktualnie dochodzi do siebie i będzie wypatrywać domu. *** Matrioszka z Janowic Jest już zdrowa i gotowa na dom. Jest wstępnie oswojona, jednak musi poznać człowieka, żeby móc mu zaufać. Korzysta z kuwetki.MATRIOSZKA nie jest szczęśliwa w naszej Kociarni.Jest smutna, apatyczna, nie interesują jej zabawki. Niby zdrowa ale w tym maleńkim ciałku życia brak Pomyślcie o tym, może znajdzie się w Waszych domach kącik dla tej kruszynki...

About Matrioszka

What life with Matrioszka looks like

Matrioszka is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Rescue Poland in Warsaw.

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 Matrioszka, answered.

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