How do I contact the shelter about Panki?

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

Can I adopt Panki 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 Panki 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 Panki 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 Panki 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 Panki

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, my name is Panki. I am a small, a few-year-old dog. On February 8, 2023, during an intervention by the II Police Station, an animal shelter was called to secure us because our owner was taken to the hospital. Jasiek and I are dogs who are afraid of even the wind at this moment. Why? Because our owner did not take us out, we did not know what a walk was, nor what a leash is for. I do not hide that in stressful situations for me I am capable of biting. Please be understanding, I know no one except Jasiek and our owner. I am half-wild and now we live in a kennel and when a person appears from one side, we run to the other. Yes, when they throw us meatballs or pieces of beef we gladly eat them, but that is a second and we are not there. We make progress with people who perform actions near us, for example: cleaning, tidying up, etc. Then I sit in one place and observe. I need an experienced person, someone patient and motivated to act. I have current vaccination, deworming. I am spayed, and also already had the neutering procedure.

Witam, mam na imię Panki. Jestem małym, kilkuletnim psem. 8 lutego 2023 roku podczas interwencji II Komisariatu Policji zostało wezwane schronisko celem zabezpieczenia nas, ponieważ nasza właścicielka została zabrana do szpitala. Jasiek i ja jesteśmy psami, które w tym momencie boją się nawet wiatru. Dlaczego? Ponieważ nasza właścicielka nie wyprowadzała nas na zewnątrz, nie wiedzieliśmy co to spacer, ani do czego służy smycz. Nie ukrywam, że w sytuacjach dla mnie stresujących jestem w stanie nawet ugryźć. Proszę o wyrozumiałość, nie znam nikogo oprócz Jaśka i naszej właścicielki. Jestem w połowie dzikim psem i teraz mieszkamy w boksie i kiedy człowiek pojawia się z jednej, strony my uciekamy na drugą. Owszem gdy podrzucają kulki z pasztetu albo kawałki parówek to chętnie zjadamy, ale to jest sekunda i nas nie ma. Robimy postępy przy ludziach, którzy wykonują przy nas czynności np.: porządkowe, sprzątanie itd. Wtedy siedzę w jednym miejscu i obserwuję. Potrzebuję doświadczonej osoby, kogoś cierpliwego i zmotywowanego do działania.Posiadam aktualne szczepienie, odrobaczenie. Jestem zaczipowany, a także już po zabiegu kastracji.

About Panki

What life with Panki looks like

Panki 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.
