Saga

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

We accepted Sagy as an older female dog found curled up in a ball by the stream outside the village. Alone. Exhausted. No one was looking for her, no one claimed her. As if she had ceased to exist for the world for a moment. It was immediately clear that she carried a heavy story. Her bones protrude from her body, she has minimal strength, and her trust in the surroundings is slowly returning. Our vet Ivča examined her directly at the shelter, and even during the listening it was evident that her heart was not in good condition. In the near future, she will undergo a cardiological examination, which will provide more information about the next steps. Currently, Sagy has warmth, calm, a full bowl, and people who believe in her. And that's the basis from which she can be rebuilt. Sagy is a gentle dog grandmother. Clean, with no problems during regular walks. She likes walks and handles walking on a leash beautifully. She gets along well with other dogs, enjoys car travel. She hears poorly and has a slight cataract in her eyes, which is nothing unusual for an elderly dog, rather another reason for consideration. Above all, she is very "human": sensitive to quick movements, perceptive of moods, and needs a quiet, predictable environment. When she has calm and feels safe, she can slowly open up. Then she becomes a gentle companion who enjoys quiet closeness and affection. Human hands are a safe place for her. She needs a gentle approach, patience, and a home without unnecessary chaos. We cannot reliably assess her relationship with children, so we are looking for a quieter household. Sagy is currently on medication for her kidneys, which she takes properly, and she will soon go to the cardiologist. We're hoping the examination goes as well as possible and Sagy can continue to spread her quiet "thank you for being with me". We are looking for temporary care for Sagy. For Sagy, we are looking for a temporary home. All care is fully paid: everything she needs will be provided. From the temporary family, we mainly need love, a safe environment, occasional updates on how Sagy is doing, and nice photos. If you could offer Sagy a quiet place, please contact us via email or call at 13 o'clock (or send an SMS) at 724 813 222. Visit to the cardiologist Sagy had to go to the cardiologist. When the doctor came to examine her at the shelter, it was already clear during the normal listening of her little heart that something was wrong. The sounds did not seem right, so we didn't want to underestimate anything. In an older female dog, the heart is a crucial matter, so a professional examination followed to know exactly what we were dealing with and how to set up the best care for her. Sagy has a heart rhythm disorder (AV block third degree) and a mild aortic insufficiency. The good news is that the heart itself is structurally in good condition, without failure and without significant changes on the valves. We have found temporary care! We have great news for Sagy. We managed to find temporary care for her with an experienced lady who regularly takes older dogs home for their final days and gives them the most valuable thing: calm, security, and a real family. Exactly the kind of place Sagy needed. Instead of a kennel run, she now has a cushion; instead of uncertainty, certainty and a person who understands senior dogs and their pace. However, Sagy remains in the care of the shelter. We cover all veterinary expenses and remain fully responsible for her. Thanks to this, she can have the secure environment of a home and the assurance that she will be taken care of in every way. Thank you for being such people that older dogs can live their days with dignity and warmth of home. Sagy already has the warmth of home, but her story does not end here. As an older female dog with a heart condition, she will need long-term care, check-ups, and medication. You can help her with that. Adopt Sagy from afar and become her hero. With a regular contribution, you will help ensure everything she needs to live in peace and safety until the end. ❤️ I want to adopt Sagy! Accepted on 4. 1.

Sagu jsme přijali jako starší fenku nalezenou stočenou v klubíčku u potoka za obcí. Sama. Vyčerpaná. Nikdo ji nehledal, nikdo se k ní nepřihlásil. Jako by pro svět na chvíli přestala existovat. Na první pohled bylo jasné, že si nese těžký příběh. Kosti jí vystupují z těla, sil má minimum a důvěra v okolí se teprve pomalu vrací. Naše veterinářka Ivča ji vyšetřila přímo v útulku a už při poslechu bylo patrné, že její srdce není v pořádku. V nejbližší době ji čeká kardiologické vyšetření, které napoví víc o dalším postupu. Momentálně má Saga teplo, klid, plnou misku a lidi, kteří v ní věří. A to je základ, od kterého se dá znovu stavět. Saga je jemná psí babička. Čistotná, při pravidelném venčení bez problémů. Procházky má ráda a chůzi na vodítku zvládá krásně. S ostatními psy vychází bez potíží, cestování autem si užívá. Hůře slyší a má lehký zákal na očích, to není nic neobvyklého u psího seniora, spíš další důvod k ohleduplnosti. Především je ale velmi „lidská“: citlivá na rychlé pohyby, vnímavá k náladám a potřebující klidné, předvídatelné prostředí. Když má klid a cítí se bezpečně, dokáže se pomalu otevřít. Pak se z ní stává něžná společnice, která si užívá tichou blízkost a mazlení. Lidské ruce jsou pro ni bezpečným místem. Potřebuje jemný přístup, trpělivost a domov bez zbytečného chaosu. Vztah k dětem neumíme spolehlivě posoudit, proto hledáme spíše klidnou domácnost. Zdravotně má Saga nyní nasazené léky na ledviny, které bere vzorně, a brzy ji čeká cesta na kardiologii. Držíme palce, aby vyšetření dopadlo co nejlépe a Saga mohla dál rozdávat své tiché „děkuju, že tu se mnou jste“. Hledáme pro Sagu dočasnou péči Pro Sagu hledáme dočasný domov. Veškerá péče je plně hrazena: vše, co bude potřebovat, dostane. Od dočasné rodiny potřebujeme především lásku, bezpečné prostředí, občasné zprávy o tom, jak se Saga má, a hezké fotografie. Pokud byste mohli Sage nabídnout klidné zázemí, ozvěte se prosím na nebo zavolejte po 13. hodině (případně napište SMS) na 724 813 222. Návštěva kardiologa Sama musela vyrazit na kardiologii. Když ji přijela do útulku vyšetřit paní doktorka, už při běžném poslechu srdíčka bylo jasné, že něco není v pořádku. Ozvy se jí nezdály, a tak jsme nechtěli nic podcenit. U starší fenky je srdce zásadní věc, proto následovalo odborné vyšetření, abychom přesně věděli, s čím bojujeme a jak jí nastavit tu nejlepší péči. Saga má poruchu srdečního rytmu (AV blok III. stupně) a lehkou aortální nedostatečnost. Dobrá zpráva je, že srdce samotné je jinak strukturálně v dobrém stavu, bez selhávání a bez výrazných změn na chlopních. Podařilo se najít dočasnou péči! Pro Sagu máme krásnou zprávu. Podařilo se pro ni najít dočasnou péči u zkušené paní, která si dlouhodobě bere domů starší pejsky na dožití a dává jim to nejcennější: klid, bezpečí a opravdovou rodinu. Přesně takové místo Saga potřebovala. Místo kotce má teď pelíšek, místo nejistoty jistotu a člověka, který rozumí psím seniorům a jejich tempu. Saga však i nadále zůstává v péči útulku. Hradíme veškeré veterinární výdaje a zůstáváme za ni plně zodpovědní. Díky tomu může mít bezpečné zázemí domova a zároveň jistotu, že o ni bude postaráno po všech stránkách. Děkujeme, že díky takovým lidem mohou i starší pejsci prožít své dny důstojně a v teple domova. Saga už má teplo domova, ale její příběh tím nekončí. Jako starší fenka se srdečním onemocněním bude potřebovat dlouhodobou péči, kontroly a léky. Právě s tím jí můžete pomoci vy. Adoptujte Sagu na dálku a staňte se jejím hrdinou. Pravidelným příspěvkem jí pomůžete zajistit vše, co potřebuje, aby mohla v klidu a bezpečí dožít. ❤️ Chci si adoptovat Sagu! Přijata dne 4. 1. 2026 od starosty obce Žichlínek

About Saga

What life with Saga looks like

Saga is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pet Heroes Lanškroun in Lanškroun.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Saga, answered.

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