Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Stella - a calm dog Status: available for adoption Stella is a very calm and sensitive dog who will best thrive with patient, calm, and respectful people. She is not a dog that immediately seeks closeness with humans - she needs time to feel safe and trust, but in return offers quiet presence and a delicate bond built at her own pace. At home, her attitude towards family members is neutral. She does not initiate contact and prefers quiet places without people, but if someone approaches her, strokes her or gives her a treat, she does not run away and calmly accepts it. After walks, she likes to follow her caretaker and check what they are doing, maintaining distance but with clear curiosity. In the presence of guests, Stella practically "disappears." She chooses a room without people, often lying under the kitchen table or in the kennel. She eats treats but not from the hand. Throughout the presence of strangers, it seems as if the dog is not even in the house. On walks, she is indifferent to people - she can pass by without reacting, sometimes avoiding them with a wider arc. All physiological needs are taken care of outside. It has never happened that she soiled the house, although she does not signal the need to go out. She can be left alone in the house without problems for 8-9 hours - she does not whine, does not sit by the door, and usually just sleeps. When seeing other dogs on a walk, Stella definitely avoids contact. She crouches, lays her ears back, and tries to avoid them from a distance. In the house, she has not had contact with other animals, and her attitude towards cats is unknown. She has not had contact with children in the house. On walks, she calmly passes by quiet children, but avoids loud children, running, shouting, or biking, either with a wide arc or changing the direction of the walk. She willingly goes on walks and is learning to walk on a loose leash. In quiet places, such as the forest, she walks nicely and obeys commands. In stressful situations, such as near motors or other dogs, she may pull or try to escape into bushes. Riding in a car is difficult for her - she does not like getting in, during the ride she is restless, pants, and turns around. At the vet, she allows everything to be done, although she is very scared, tail tucked, but remains in place and does not show aggression. Also in other stressful situations, she does not bark - rather she crouches or tries to leave. Stella is a very quiet dog - she does not bark either at home or outside. Classic toys do not interest her, but she loves food-related activities, such as sniffing mats or simple food-based games. This is a dog for someone who does not expect immediate closeness, but wants to give her peace, time, and a safe space where she can flourish at her own pace. — DOG METRICS — 🧮 Age: 01-04-2021 🚻 Gender: female 🐾 Size: 27 kg 🏀 Activity level: medium ❤️ Neutered: yes ℹ️ Chip: yes 💉 Vaccinations: yes 📍 Location: Temporary Home in Gdansk ✅ The dog is under the care of the Gdansk branch of the Foundation for Puppies Judyta ✅ The dog is in a temporary home in the area of Gdansk and surroundings ✅ Adoption obligation: filling out the questionnaire, pre-adoption visit, and signing the adoption agreement ✅ LINK TO QUESTIONNAIRE: ✅ We reserve the right to contact selected persons SUPPORT THE DOG: BLIK/TRANSFER PAYPAL

Stella - spokojna psina Status: do adopcji Stella to bardzo spokojna i wrażliwa sunia, która najlepiej odnajdzie się u osób cierpliwych, spokojnych i szanujących jej granice. Nie jest psem, który od razu szuka bliskości z człowiekiem – potrzebuje czasu, by poczuć się bezpiecznie i zaufać, ale w zamian oferuje cichą obecność i delikatną więź budowaną we własnym tempie. W domu wobec domowników jej stosunek jest neutralny. Sama nie inicjuje kontaktu i chętnie wybiera ciche miejsca bez człowieka, jednak jeśli ktoś do niej podejdzie, pogłaszcze ją lub poczęstuje smaczkiem, nie ucieka i spokojnie to akceptuje. Po spacerach lubi chodzić za opiekunem i sprawdzać, co robi, zachowując dystans, ale z wyraźną ciekawością. W obecności gości Stella praktycznie „znika”. Wybiera pomieszczenie bez ludzi, często kładzie się pod stołem w kuchni lub w kenelu. Smaczki zje, ale nie z ręki. Przez cały czas obecności obcych ma się wrażenie, jakby psa nie było w domu. Na spacerach wobec ludzi jest obojętna – potrafi przejść obok bez reakcji, czasem omija ich szerszym łukiem. Wszystkie potrzeby fizjologiczne załatwia na zewnątrz. Nie zdarzyło się, aby zabrudziła dom, choć nie sygnalizuje potrzeby wyjścia. Zostaje sama w domu bez problemu nawet na 8–9 godzin – nie piszczy, nie siedzi pod drzwiami, najczęściej po prostu śpi. Na widok innych psów na spacerze Stella zdecydowanie unika kontaktu. Kuli się, kładzie uszy i stara się minąć je z daleka. W domu nie miała kontaktu z innymi zwierzętami, a jej stosunek do kotów nie jest znany. Nie miała kontaktu z dziećmi w domu. Na spacerach spokojnie mija te ciche, natomiast głośne dzieci, biegające, krzyczące lub jadące na rowerze, omija szerokim łukiem albo zmienia kierunek spaceru. Na spacery wychodzi chętnie i uczy się chodzenia na luźnej smyczy. W spokojnych miejscach, takich jak las, ładnie chodzi i wykonuje komendy. W sytuacjach stresujących, np. przy motorach czy innych psach, potrafi ciągnąć lub próbować uciec w krzaki. Jazda samochodem jest dla niej trudna – nie lubi wsiadać, podczas jazdy jest niespokojna, dyszy i kręci się. U weterynarza daje sobie zrobić wszystko, choć jest bardzo przestraszona, z podkulonym ogonem, ale pozostaje w miejscu i nie wykazuje agresji. Również w innych stresowych sytuacjach nie kłapie – raczej się kuli lub próbuje odejść. Stella jest psem bardzo cichym – nie szczeka ani w domu, ani na zewnątrz. Nie interesują jej klasyczne zabawki, za to uwielbia aktywności z jedzeniem, takie jak maty węchowe czy proste zabawy węchowe z karmą. To sunia dla kogoś, kto nie oczekuje natychmiastowej bliskości, lecz chce dać jej spokój, czas i bezpieczną przestrzeń, w której będzie mogła rozkwitać we własnym tempie. — 𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐘𝐂𝐙𝐊𝐀 𝐏𝐒𝐀 — 🧮 Wiek: 01-04-2021 🚻 Płeć: samica 🐾 Wielkość: 27, kg 🏀 Aktywność: średnia ❤️ Kastracja: tak ℹ️ Czip: tak 💉 Szczepienia: tak 📍 Miejsce pobytu: Dom Tymczasowy w Trójmieście ✅ Psiak jest pod opieką Trójmiejskiego oddziału Fundacji dla Szczeniąt Judyta ✅ Psiak znajduje się w domu tymczasowym na terenie Trójmiasta i okolic ✅ Obowiązkiem adopcji jest: wypełnienie ankiety, wizyta przedadopcyjna oraz podpisanie umowy adopcyjnej ✅ LINK DO ANKIETY: ✅ Zastrzegamy sobie prawo do kontaktu z wybranymi osobami WESPRZYJ PSIAKA: BLIK/PRZELEW PAYPAL

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Judyta dla Psiego Losu in Poland.

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 Stella, answered.

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