Polona

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Polona, an adult mixed breed of medium size. Came to the animal shelter as a new mother, extremely protective, scared and untrusting. It's time for Polona to find her forever home, as she has finally gained some trust in people. Looking for experienced owners who will be able to give her time, space and love that she needs. Spayed. For more information, contact responsible adopters during the week afternoons.

SL·Show original

Polona, odrasla mešanka srednje rasti. V zavetišče prišla kot novopečena mamica, izjemno zaščitniška, prestrašena in nezaupljiva. Prišel je čas, da Polona najde svoj za vedno dom, saj je končno pridobila nekaj zaupanja do ljudi. Išče izkušene lastnike, ki ji bodo znali dati čas, prostor in ljubezen, ki jo potrebuje. Sterilizirana. Za več info se resni posvojitelji obrnite na med tednom popoldne.

About Polona

What life with Polona looks like

Polona is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zavetišče Turk in Novo mesto.

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 Slovenia

Slovenian shelters follow EU pet passport requirements rigorously and coordinate with Italian, Austrian, and German rescue partners. Animals are fully vetted before leaving.

Frequently asked

Adopting Polona, answered.

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