How do I contact the shelter about Saba?

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

Can I adopt Saba 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 Saba 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 Saba 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 Saba 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 Saba

Mixed Breed · Female

I am named Saba and I was born in May 2024. On May 6, 2026, I was taken from our area by the Animal Welfare Society in Zabrze, a place that should never be a home for a dog. I lived in a barn with cows, so many things that are routine for other dogs are still new and a bit scary to me. Despite this, I haven't lost my trust in humans. I am very friendly, open to people, and with a whole heart, I love cuddles. A little bit of tenderness is all it takes for me to snuggle into a person as if I want to make up for all the love I missed in my previous life. I am vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed. I am learning to walk on a leash and I need a patient caregiver who will help me overcome my fears and teach me calm interactions with other dogs. I am looking for a home where someone will show me that the world can be safe and good. At first, I might be a bit of a "wild dog," but behind my uncertainty lies a wonderful, love-thirsty female dog. If you give me time and a heart, I will repay you with boundless trust and devotion. Maybe you will be the one to change my life and show me what a real home is?

Mam na imię Saba i urodziłam się w maju 2024 roku. 6 maja 2026 roku zostałam odebrana przez Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami w Zabrzu z miejsca, które nigdy nie powinno być domem dla psa. Mieszkałam w oborze razem z bykami, dlatego wiele rzeczy, które dla innych psów są codziennością, jest dla mnie wciąż nowe i trochę przerażające.Mimo tego nie straciłam zaufania do człowieka. Jestem bardzo przyjacielska, otwarta na ludzi i całym sercem kocham przytulanie. Wystarczy odrobina czułości, a wtulam się w człowieka tak, jakbym chciała nadrobić cały brak miłości z dotychczasowego życia.Jestem zaszczepiona, odrobaczona i zaczipowana. Uczę się chodzić na smyczy i potrzebuję cierpliwego opiekuna, który pomoże mi pokonać lęki oraz nauczy mnie spokojnych kontaktów z innymi psami.Szukam domu, w którym ktoś pokaże mi, że świat może być bezpieczny i dobry. Może na początku będę trochę „dzikuskiem”, ale pod moją niepewnością kryje się cudowna, spragniona miłości suczka. Jeśli dasz mi czas i serce, odwdzięczę się bezgranicznym zaufaniem i oddaniem.Może to właśnie Ty odmienisz moje życie i pokażesz mi, czym jest prawdziwy dom?

About Saba

What life with Saba looks like

Saba 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.
