Opia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

age: 1 year 6 months, sex: spayed female, from animal shelter since: 15.01.2024, origin: Opinogóra, Opia is a young, friendly and energetic female dog. The beginning in the animal shelter was not easy for her, she was scared and sat huddled in the cage and did not want to come out. However, after some time, she finally broke through and goes out on weekends with volunteers for walks. She is curious about the world around her, carefully observing everything that happens around her. Opia shares her box with other dogs, with whom she gets along very well. We are looking for a home for her, where the new owners will give her time to overcome her fear and get used to the new environment, it could be a house with children.

wiek: 1 rok 6 miesięcy, płeć: samica kastrowana w schronisku od: 15.01.2024, pochodzenie: Opinogóra, Opia to młoda, przyjazna i energiczna sunia. Początki w schronisku nie były dla niej łatwe, wystraszona siedziała skulona w budzie i nie chciała wychodzić. Jednak po pewnym czasie w końcu się przełamała i wychodzi co weekend z wolontariuszami na spacery Jest ciekawa otaczającego ją świata, bacznie obserwuje wszystko co się wokół niej dzieje. Opia dzieli swój boks z innymi psiakami, z którymi bardzo dobrze się dogaduje. Szukamy dla niej domu, gdzie nowi właściciele dadzą jej czas na przełamanie strachu i oswojenie się z nowym otoczeniem, może to być dom z dziećmi.

About Opia

What life with Opia looks like

Opia is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt Ciechanów in Poland.

An young 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 Opia, answered.

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