How do I contact the shelter about Susanna?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Starogardzie Gdańskim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Susanna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Susanna if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Starogardzie Gdańskim 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 Susanna 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 Susanna 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 OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Starogardzie Gdańskim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Susanna 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.

Susanna

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

🌸 Love Susanna - a beautiful dog waiting for her chance Susanna is about one and a half years old, larger and extremely beautiful. She not only impresses with her appearance, but also with her gentle nature. She loves human contact - she is happy to be petted and receives every portion of affection with great joy. And if treats appear in her hand, her happiness knows no bounds! However, there is something that the future owner will have to work on with her. Susanna is very afraid of walking on a leash. Everything suggests that she never had the opportunity to meet her before, so it is something completely new and frightening for her. She needs a patient, calm guide who will show her that the leash does not mean anything bad, and that joint walks can be a source of joy and safety. Susanna has her whole life ahead of her and a huge potential to become a wonderful companion. All you need to do is give her time, heart and a little patience. Maybe you can change her fate? Love Susanna and give her the home she so deserves. ❤️

Uwielbia kontakt z człowiekiem – chętnie daje się głaskać i z ogromną radością przyjmuje każdą porcję czułości. A jeśli w dłoni pojawią się smaczki, jej szczęście nie zna granic! Jest jednak coś, nad czym przyszły opiekun będzie musiał z nią popracować. Susanna bardzo boi się chodzić na smyczy. Wszystko wskazuje na to, że wcześniej nigdy nie miała okazji jej poznać, dlatego jest to dla niej coś zupełnie nowego i budzącego lęk. Potrzebuje cierpliwego, spokojnego przewodnika, który pokaże jej, że smycz nie oznacza nic złego, a wspólne spacery mogą być źródłem radości i bezpieczeństwa. Susanna ma przed sobą całe życie i ogromny potencjał, by stać się wspaniałą towarzyszką. Wystarczy dać jej czas, serce i odrobinę cierpliwości. Może to właśnie Ty odmienisz jej los?

About Susanna

What life with Susanna looks like

Susanna is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Starogardzie Gdańskim in Poland.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
