Szelbi

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Szelbi is in a foster home. female dog was found during Christmas. She was wandering helplessly in the center of Wrocław. Extremely thin, with muscle atrophy, lumps on the mammary glands, gum inflammation and broken, sick teeth. After tests it turned out that she also suffers from liver and pancreatic diseases. The "owner" was not at all interested in all this. Shelbi is about 10 years old, has already had all necessary procedures, is spayed, vaccinated, and dewormed. She is currently living in a foster home with a smaller dog and a cat. She keeps herself clean, likes to play with a ball. Sometimes she initiates play by approaching to play with her. She doesn't have much strength so she prefers shorter walks rather than longer ones. She is a very well-mannered female dog who knows basic commands. She has been through so much ... we don't want to stress her by putting her in an adoption shelter cage. We are asking you very much for help in finding her a home! The foster home is only temporary, after that she will return to the cage... This is what I wrote about her in the foster home: "She is very well-mannered and gentle. She knows basic commands like sit and shake, but you have to show her because she has hearing problems. She is very affectionate and has a very smart, sensitive look. She keeps herself clean. She mostly sleeps in the kennel, she doesn't jump on the couch because of balance problems. She gets along well with dogs, but can sometimes innocently show her teeth if someone approaches her toy. Her favorite toy is a blue ball. She really likes spending time outside, running after the ball and cooling off in the pool. She walks nicely on a leash, watches over her owner"

Szelbi odeszła w domu tymczasowym. Sunia została znaleziona podczas Świąt Bożego Narodzenia. Błąkała się bezradnie po centrum Wrocławia. Skrajnie wychudzona, z zanikami mięśniowymi, guzami na listwie mlecznej, z zapaleniem dziąseł i połamanymi, chorymi zębami. Po badaniach okazało się, że cierpi również z powodu chorób wątroby i trzustki. Pani „właścicielka” nie była tym wszystkim ani trochę zainteresowana. Shelbi ma około 10 lat, jest już po wszystkich koniecznych zabiegach, wysterylizowana, zaszczepiona, zaczipowana. Mieszka obecnie w domu tymczasowym z mniejszym pieskiem i z kotem. Trzyma czystość, lubi zabawę piłką. Czasami sama zaczepia, żeby się z nią bawić.Nie ma zbyt dużo siły więc woli spacerki raczej krótsze niż dłuższe. To bardzo grzeczna sunia, która zna podstawowe komendy. Już tak wiele przeszła…nie chcielibyśmy stresować jej zamykając w azylowym boksie. Bardzo Was prosimy o pomoc w znalezieniu jej domu! Dom tymczasowy jest tylko na jakiś czas, potem wróci do boksu… Oto co piszę o niej dom tymczasowy: „Jest bardzo grzeczna i łagodna. Zna podstawowe komendy jak siad i daj łapę, ale trzeba jej pokazać, bo ma problemy ze słuchem. Jest przekochana i ma bardzo mądre, wrażliwe spojrzenie. Utrzymuje czystość. Śpi głównie w kenellu, na kanapę nie wskakuje ze względu na problemy z utrzymaniem równowagi. Dobrze dogaduje się z psami, ale potrafi pokazać niegroźnie pokazać zęby jak jakiś zbliża się do jej zabawki. Jej ulubiona zabawka to niebieska piłka. Lubi bardzo spędzać czas na dworze, biegać za piłką i chłodzić się w basenie. Ładnie chodzi na smyczy, pilnuje się właściciela”

About Szelbi

What life with Szelbi looks like

Szelbi is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja EkoStraż in Wrocław.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Szelbi, answered.

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