How do I contact the shelter about MELISA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MELISA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt MELISA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) 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 MELISA 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 MELISA 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 AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) early rather than rehoming privately; they know MELISA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt MELISA

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

MELISA Golden Bullmastiff, about 11 years oldAppearance: black, with large white markings.Character: issues with initial acceptance of people and dogs.Health: hypothyroidism, in good condition for her age.Location: dog hotel, Łódź.Contact regarding adoption: , email: Melisa is an older Amstaff who came to us from a dog shelter where she ended up after being found. Her name is Melisa, but it would be more suitable for her caregiver Agnieszka. Because female dog is indeed frightened, but still a little devil with some strong will. It's not easy for her in the temporary home. While the female dog nicely accepted her caregiver, she has big emotional problems when interacting with other dogs and people. This requires a lot of work from the girl. Additionally, we have cleanliness issues, here they are going to do tests to see if it comes from emotional problems, lack of training or some health condition. We will keep you updated on what's happening. Melisa is currently staying in a temporary home in Warsaw. July 20, 2022 We visited Melisa, one of our residents, who has been under our wings for a year. She is one of those dogs that were supposed to be wonderful and non-problematic, but it turned out not to be entirely rosy. Melisa is very loyal, but only to people she knows and accepts. This is the type of dog that is said to jump into fire for its owner. A drawback of Melisa is the lack of tolerance for strangers. The female dog tends to guard the caregiver. This makes Melisa a difficult dog to handle, and additionally, there aren't many people willing to adopt her. Fortunately, Mela is in great shape. Cute, cheerful, looking at the caregivers. She looks divine, clearly enjoying her retirement. If anyone of you would like to meet Melisa, give her a home, please contact us by email: We are also continuously collecting funds to maintain Melisa in the hotel: AST foundation for unwanted animals79 1160 2202 3463In case of international transfers: BIGBPLPW Bank Millenium S.A. Branch MilleniumIBAN: PL 79 1160 2202 3463DONATION MELISA December 31, 2023 Meliska celebrated her eleventh birthday this year. She is the kind of dog that few people notice, whether because of her pedigree or the distrust she shows to strangers at first meeting. However, if someone had the time and even a little willingness, then you could become friends with Melisa! We have only one huge dream for Melisa, that someone would want to befriend her forever, give her a loving home, share life and wonderful adventures, because the healthy grandmother is still there, so you can act! The female dog should be an only child. Meliska is waiting for you, house, patiently, with hope in beautiful eyes. If you see her, definitely respond to us: July 6, 2024 If Melisa could speak with a human voice, she would probably timidly share her dream of a home. One like every senior dog dreams of: loving, caring, forever. We never stop believing that somewhere such a home is waiting for our Meliska. What is Melisa? She is a lively senior! Meliska will happily take you for a walk, play with a ball. Her pedigree absolutely does not interfere with her life, she is healthy and only takes medication for the thyroid. She treats new people with a certain amount of distrust, but once she gets to know a person, she becomes a great buddy. Melisa is waiting for her home in the hotel in Łódź. She waits patiently, with hope. Help Melisa fulfill her dream, share her appeal, so that a wonderful home can find her. Want to talk about Melisa? Contact us:

MELISA Złoty Bullamstaffka, wiek ok. 11 latWygląd: czarna, duże białe znaczenie.Charakter: problemy z początkową akceptacją ludzi i psów. Zdrowie: niedoczynność tarczycy, dobra forma jak na wiek.Miejsce pobytu: hotel dla psów, Łódź.Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: , mail: Melisa to starsza amstaffka , która przyjechała do nas z psiej przechowalni, gdzie trafiła po znalezieniu. Na imię ma Melisa, ale to raczej jej opiekunce Agnieszce taka melisa by się przydała. Bo sunia to wprawdzie wylękniony, ale jednak diabełek i to ze sporymi różkami. Na razie w domu tymczasowym nie jest łatwo. O ile sunia zaakceptowała ładnie swoją opiekunkę, o tyle ma duże problemy emocjonalne w kontaktach z psami oraz innymi ludźmi. Na tym gruncie czeka dziewczyny ogrom pracy. Dodatkowo mamy problemy z utrzymaniem czystości, tutaj sunię czekają badania, czy wynika to z problemów z emocjami, niewychowania czy też jakiejś dolegliwości zdrowotnej. Będziemy was na bieżąco informować co słychać. Melisa aktualnie przebywa w domu tymczasowym w Warszawie. 20.07.2022 Wpadliśmy z krótką wizytą do hotelu Melisy, jednej z naszych rezydentek, która jest pod naszymi skrzydłami już rok. To jeden z tych psów, które miały być cudowne,i niekłopotliwe, a okazało się, że nie jest tak do końca różowo. Melisa jest bardzo oddaną sunią, ale tylko dla osób które pozna i zaakceptuje. To ten typ psa, o którym się mówi, że za właścicielem skoczy w ogień. Wadą Meli jest brak tolerancji obcych. Sunia ma tendencje do pilnowania opiekuna. To powoduje, że Melisa nie jest psem łatwym w obsłudze, a do tego jakoś nie ma tłumu chętnych aby ja adoptować. Na szczęście Mela jest w świetnej formie. Zgrabniutka, wesoła, wpatrzona w opiekunów. Wygląda bosko, najwyraźniej emerytura jej służy. Gdyby ktoś z Was chciał poznać Melisę, podarować jej dom, zapraszamy do kontaktu mailowego: Nieustająco także zbieramy na utrzymanie Meli w hotelu:AST Fundacja na Rzecz Zwierząt Niechcianych79 1160 2202 3463W przypadku przelewów z zagranicy: BIGBPLPW Bank Millenium S.A. Branch MilleniumIBAN: PL 79 1160 2202 3463DAROWIZNA MELISA 31.12.2023 Meliska w tym roku obchodziła jedenaste urodziny. Jest takim pieskiem, na którym mało kto zawiesza oko, czy to przez jej metrykę, czy nieufność, którą okazuje obcym przy pierwszym poznaniu. Gdyby jednak ktoś miał czas i choć odrobinkę chęci, wtedy to się można z Melisą kumplować! My mamy dla Melisy tylko jedno olbrzymie marzenie, aby ktoś zapragnął się z nią zaprzyjaźnić na zawsze, podarować jej kochający dom, dzielić życie i wspaniałe przygody, bo zdrówko babusi dopisuje, więc można działać! Sunia powinna być jedynaczką. Meliska czeka na Ciebie, domku, wytrwale, cierpliwie, z nadzieją w pięknych oczętach. Jeśli ją widzisz, odezwij się do nas koniecznie: 06.07.2024 Gdyby Melisa mogła mówić ludzkim głosem, pewnie nieśmiało podzieliłaby się marzeniem o własnym domu. Takim, o jakim marzy każdy psi senior: kochającym, troskliwym, na zawsze. Nie przestajemy wierzyć, że gdzieś taki domek czeka na naszą Meliskę. Jaka jest Melisa? To żwawiutka seniorka! Meliska ochoczo zabierze Cię na spacer, pobawi się piłeczką. Metryka absolutnie nie przeszkadza jej w życiu, zdrowotnie dostaje jedynie leki na tarczycę. Osoby nowo poznane traktuje z pewną dozą nieufności, ale gdy się już do człowieka przekona, staje się fajową kumpelą. Melisa czeka na swój domek w hoteliku w Łodzi. Czeka cierpliwie, czeka z nadzieją. Pomóż Melisce spełnić jej marzenie, udostępnij jej apel, niech wypatrzy ją wspaniały dom. Chcesz porozmawiać o Melisce? Odezwij się do nas:

About MELISA

What life with MELISA looks like

MELISA is a adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Fundacja AST (Adoptuj Staffa i Teriera) 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.
