Siena

Mixed Breed · Female

Temperament: Siena is a female dog very delicate and compliant, although she has made great progress and for people she knows and trusts is a completely different dog. An important aspect of her personality is that she is deaf. This surely affects her perception of the world and interaction. She cannot be called back - even on a leash, one must exercise considerable caution and control safety. She loves contact with humans, constantly glances and observes. She likes touch and seeks it from humans, waiting for support and pats. It would also be helpful to train emotional calming: when she experiences something, she can become excited. Siena is a beloved companion, and walks with her are a pleasant time. She allows herself to be led with a harness and collar, and enjoys having her neck rubbed. She is a bit afraid of new spaces in the building and crossing doors for the first time (for example, new rooms, glass reflections) can be difficult. It is possible that the lack of hearing sense also affects her uncertainty. On walks she sniffs a lot, turns around, is happy - she handles the forest very well, but the street at the animal shelter is stressful. Initially this was a huge problem for her, but now she handles known street areas very well and follows a trusted caregiver willingly (although busy traffic and large cars are still difficult and stressful for her). We recommend her for a quiet home that accepts her shyness and helps her gain confidence. There is absolutely no aggression in her, but the female dog will need support in exploring the world - not by force, but at her own pace.

Usposobienie: Siena to suczka bardzo delikatna i uległa, chociaż zrobiła ogromny postęp i dla osób, które zna i ufa jest zupełnie innym psem. Ważnym aspektem jej osobowości jest to, że nie słyszy. To na pewno wpływa na jej odbiór świata i kontakt. Nie da się jej odwołać – nawet na smyczy należy zachować sporą ostrożność i kontrolować bezpieczeństwo. Kontakt z człowiekiem jednak kocha, ciągle zerka i obserwuje. Lubi dotyk i poszukuje go u człowieka, czeka na wsparcie i głaski. Na pewno przyda się też ćwiczenie uspakajania emocji: gdy coś przeżywa potrafi być pobudzona. Siena jest kochanym towarzyszem i spacery z nią to przyjemny czas. Daje sobie założyć szelki i obróżkę, pomasować szyjkę. Nieco boi się nowych przestrzeni w budynku i przekraczanie drzwi po raz pierwszy (np. nowe pomieszczenia, jakieś szklane odbicia) może być trudne. Możliwe, że brak zmysłu słuchu też wpływa na jej niepewność. Na spacerze dużo wącha, kręci się, jest radosna – w lesie radzi sobie super, ale ulica przy schronisku jest stresująca. Początkowo był to dla niej ogromny problem obecnie radzi sobie świetnie w znanych ulicznych miejscach i podążą chętnie za zaufanym opiekunem(chociaż spory ruch i duże auta nadal są dla niej trudne i stresujące). Polecamy do spokojnego domu, który zaakceptuje jej nieśmiałość i pomoże jej w zdobyciu pewności siebie. Nie ma w niej zupełnie agresji, ale sunia będzie potrzebować wsparcia w poznawaniu świata – nie na siłę, a we własnym tempie.

About Siena

What life with Siena looks like

Siena is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Siena, answered.

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