Pollena

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

age: 4 years, weight: 12 kg, sex: spayed female, origin: city of Płońsk, at the animal shelter since: August 2021——————– POLLENA is a young, energetic female dog who requires work, showing the rules of cooperation with a human. So far, she joyfully bites hands. POLLENA is a smart dog and the work done by volunteers with the dog has already shown results in a short time. She gets along with other dogs, but we don't know what her relationship is with puppies. Pollena needs a family that will give her time to get used to. Despite going for walks, she is still somewhat a wild dog that doesn't allow anyone to approach her in the kennel. It would be best if it was a house without children or with older children who understand that Pollena needs space and to get to know people and the environment. On a leash, she walks nicely, sometimes she pulls but this happens rarely. She loves rolling in the grass and could do it all during the walk. When putting on the leash there is still a problem, because Pollena bites then. In the first contact in the kennel she may bite, but during the walk she changes completely. This is a dog with two faces and you need to figure her out. If the person wanting to adopt her succeeds, Pollena will be a wonderful companion for life.

wiek: 4 lata, waga: 12 kgpłeć: samica kastrowana, pochodzenie: miasto Płońskw schronisku od: sierpień 2021——————– POLLENA to młoda, energiczna sunia, która wymaga pracy, pokazania zasad współpracy z człowiekiem, na dzień dzisiejszy w radości podgryza za ręce. POLLENA jest psem bystrym i podjęta przez wolontariuszy praca z psem w krótkim czasie przynosi już efekty. Dogada się z psem, nie wiemy jaki ma stosunek do suczek. Pollena potrzebuje rodziny, która da jej czas na oswojenie się. Pomimo, że wychodzi na spacery, wciąż jest trochę dzikim psem, który w boksie nie pozwala do siebie podejść. Najlepiej gdyby był to dom bez dzieci lub z dziećmi większymi, które zrozumieją, że Pollena potrzebuje przestrzeni i zapoznania się z ludźmi i otoczeniem. Na smyczy chodzi ładnie, czasami pociągnie lecz zdarza jej się to rzadko. Uwielbia tarzanie w trawie, mogłaby robić to przez cały spacer. Podczas zapinania smyczy jest jeszcze problem, gdyż Pollena wtedy podgryza. W pierwszym kontakcie w boksie może ugryźć, lecz na spacerze zmienia się o 180 stopni. To psiak, który ma dwie twarze i trzeba ją rozgryźć. Jeżeli osobie chcącej ją adoptować się to uda, to Pollena będzie świetną towarzyszką na całe życie.

About Pollena

What life with Pollena looks like

Pollena is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt Ciechanów 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pollena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pollena?
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 Pollena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pollena 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 Pollena 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 Pollena 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 Pollena 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.
