How do I contact the shelter about Mela?

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

Can I adopt Mela 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 Mela 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 Mela 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 Mela 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.

Mela

Mixed Breed · Female

Hi, my name is Mela :-) I am a medium-sized, white female dog born on November 10, 2018. I came back to the animal shelter on March 31, 2026 - I was running around Zabrze on Sobieskiego street with a leash... Maybe someone was looking for me, or maybe I just ended up alone again. My story is a bit complicated - I once had an owner, then I ended up with other people, but in the end, no one came back for me. Now I'm starting over and I hope that this time I will find a real, responsible home forever. What am I like? When I get to know someone, I show my best side - I am cheerful, nice and I really love walks! They bring me the most joy. I behave beautifully in the cage - I take care of cleanliness and I don't destroy anything. I have had treatment for ears that used to cause me problems, but today I am under care and I feel better and better. I am spayed, have up-to-date vaccinations and deworming. As for other dogs - it varies, so it's best if I get to know them as an only dog or with responsible introduction to dog company. I'm looking for someone who will give me time to trust and show who I really am. In return, I will give you my heart and be a loyal companion on walks and in everyday life. Maybe it's you who will give me a second chance?

Cześć, mam na imię Mela :-)Jestem średniej wielkości, białą suczką urodzoną 10 listopada 2018 roku. Do schroniska trafiłam ponownie 31 marca 2026 roku – biegałam wtedy po Zabrzu przy ul. Sobieskiego ze smyczą… Może ktoś mnie szukał, a może po prostu znów zostałam sama.Moja historia jest trochę zagmatwana – kiedyś miałam właściciela, później trafiłam do innych ludzi, ale ostatecznie nikt po mnie nie wrócił. Teraz zaczynam od nowa i mam nadzieję, że tym razem znajdę prawdziwy, odpowiedzialny dom na zawsze. Jaka jestem? Gdy kogoś poznam, pokazuję swoje najlepsze strony – jestem wesoła, miła i bardzo lubię spacery! To właśnie one sprawiają mi najwięcej radości. Pięknie zachowuję się w boksie – dbam o czystość i niczego nie niszczę.Mam za sobą leczenie uszu, które kiedyś sprawiały mi problem, ale dziś jestem już pod opieką i czuję się coraz lepiej. Jestem wysterylizowana, mam aktualne szczepienia i odrobaczenie. Jeśli chodzi o inne psy – bywa różnie, dlatego najlepiej odnajdę się jako jedynaczka albo przy odpowiedzialnym zapoznaniu z psim towarzystwem.Szukam kogoś, kto da mi czas, żebym mogła zaufać i pokazać, jaka naprawdę jestem. W zamian oddam Ci swoje serce i będę wierną towarzyszką na spacerach i w codziennym życiu.Może to właśnie Ty dasz mi drugą szansę?

About Mela

What life with Mela looks like

Mela 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.
