Tora

Female · Adult · 5 years

Health status: She has dysplasia of the right elbow joint. Tora is a sensitive dog who looks intently at people and trusts them completely. She’s somewhat timid and tends to panic if, for example, her leash gets tangled between her paws. She whimpers to express her emotions. It’s highly likely that she’ll exhibit separation anxiety, as she becomes very attached to her human companion. She loves taking walks; in quiet surroundings, she sniffs extensively and eagerly explores her environment. We usually walk her on a loose leash. Often, she seeks reassurance and actively reaches out for physical contact when her emotions become overwhelming. When frightened, she might jump onto her human and wrap her paws around them. She tolerates walking along busy roads fairly well, though it’s clear that it makes her uncomfortable. Tora feels most comfortable and secure indoors. That’s where she shows her playful and amusing side—she plays, jumps around, and exudes pure joy. She loves licking wet food from a slow-feeder bowl, can sit up and give her paw in exchange for tasty treats, but her greatest reward is simply being near her human and having their company. Tora needs a wise leader—a calm and composed person—who can help her overcome her fears and build confidence. She requires a predictable environment where she can finally feel safe and secure. For Tora, we’re looking for a home that is: – calm and patient—someone who will help her overcome her fears and build confidence – predictable, in a quiet neighborhood – free of small children

Tora jest wrażliwym psem wpatrzonym w człowieka, któremu ufa całą sobą. Jest to lękkus wpadający w panikę, gdy na przykład smycz zaplącze się jej między łapkami. Popiskuje pokazując swoje emocje. Wysoce prawdopodobne jest, że będzie przejawiać lęk separacyjny, ponieważ mocno przywiązuje się do człowieka. Uwielbia spacery, w spokojnej okolicy dużo węszy i chętnie eksploruje. Spacerujemy głównie na luźniej smyczy. Często szuka wsparcia, sama dąży do kontaktu fizycznego gdy emocje zaczynają ją przerastać. Kiedy się czegoś wystraszy potrafi skakać na człowieka i obłapywać łapkami. Spacer przy ruchliwej drodze toleruje dobrze, ale widać że sprawia jej to dyskomfort. Tora najbardziej komfortowo i bezpiecznie czuje się w zamkniętych pomieszczeniach. Tam pokazuje swoja zabawową i zabawną stronę – bawi się, skacze pełna radości. Uwielbia wylizywać mokrą karmę z miski spowalniającej, potrafi zrobić siad i dawać łapkę w zamian za pyszne smaczki, ale największą nagrodą jest dla niej obecność i kontakt z człowiekiem. Tora potrzebuje mądrego przewodnika, osoby spokojnej i opanowanej, która pomoże jej przezwyciężać lęki i zdobywać pewność siebie. Potrzebuje ona przewidywalnego otoczenia, gdzie w końcu będzie mogła poczuć się bezpiecznie. Dla Tory szukamy domu: – spokojnego i cierpliwego – pomoże jej przezwyciężać lęki i zdobywać pewność siebie – przewidywalnego otoczenia, w spokojnej okolicy – bez małych dzieci

About Tora

What life with Tora looks like

Tora is a large adult 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. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tora, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tora?
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 Tora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tora 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 Tora 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 Tora 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 Tora 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.
