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 · Senior · 11 years

Hello, my name is Saba. I was born around June 2015. I am a calm, sensitive female dog who is slowly learning that the world can be good and safe. Just like Toffik, with whom I lived before, I did not have an easy start in life. On December 10, 2025, I was rescued by TOZ inspectors from the place where living conditions and lack of veterinary care did not allow us to live normally. I have already been spayed and am under the care of people who take care of my health. Unlike Toffik, however, I need more time, patience, and peace to trust a person. It does not mean that I do not want closeness - I just need space to do everything at my own pace. When I feel safe, I show my gentle and delicate nature. I will best find my place in a calm home, with people who understand sensitive dogs and are able to give them time, instead of setting demands. Every small step is a huge success for me. I am looking for a home that will not rush me, but will show me that love can be patient and constant. If you give me a chance, I will repay it with a calm presence and quiet, canine gratitude.

Cześć, mam na imię Saba. Urodziłam się w okolicach czerwca 2015 roku.Jestem spokojną, wrażliwą suczką, która powoli uczy się, że świat może być dobry i bezpieczny. Tak jak Toffik, z którym mieszkałam wcześniej, nie miałam łatwego startu w życiu. 10 grudnia 2025 roku zostałam odebrana interwencyjnie przez inspektorów TOZ z miejsca, w którym warunki bytowe i brak opieki weterynaryjnej nie pozwalały nam normalnie żyć. Jestem już po zabiegu sterylizacji i pod opieką ludzi, którzy dbają o moje zdrowie. W przeciwieństwie do Toffika potrzebuję jednak więcej czasu, cierpliwości i spokoju, aby zaufać człowiekowi. Nie oznacza to, że nie chcę bliskości — po prostu muszę mieć przestrzeń, by robić wszystko w swoim tempie. Gdy poczuję się bezpiecznie, pokazuję swoją łagodną i delikatną naturę. Najlepiej odnajdę się w domu spokojnym, u osób, które rozumieją wrażliwe psy i potrafią dać im czas, zamiast stawiać wymagania. Każdy mały krok jest dla mnie ogromnym sukcesem.Szukam domu, który nie będzie mnie poganiał, tylko pokaże, że miłość może być cierpliwa i stała. Jeśli dasz mi szansę, odwdzięczę się spokojną obecnością i cichą, psią wdzięcznością.

About Saba

What life with Saba looks like

Saba is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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.
