Adopt Tosia

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Tosia – once a shadow of fear, now a spark of joy. Tosia is nearly 2 years old. She arrived at our shelter in October 2025 with Nutka – both were then very withdrawn, terrified, and lost. We don’t know their history, but looking at their fear, one could imagine they hadn’t experienced much goodness in their lives… Today, Tosia is a completely different dog. She is increasingly bold in greeting guests at the animal shelter, and she allows regular visitors to pet her. Joy has appeared in her eyes, and her tail wags more often with excitement. It’s beautiful to watch as she gains courage day by day and begins to believe that a person can be good. She gets along well with other dogs, but it’s clear that she is most closely bonded with Nutka – Nutka’s presence gives Tosa a sense of security. With someone she trusts, Tosia truly blossoms. This is a young female dog who has already made great progress. However, she needs a loving, patient, and responsible home – one that will support her in further opening up to the world. When she trusts… she will give her whole heart. Could you be the one to show Tosa that the best is yet to come? If you have patience, warmth, and an open heart – Tosia is waiting for you.

Tosia – kiedyś cień strachu, dziś iskierka radości Tosia ma niespełna 2 lata. Do schroniska trafiła w październiku 2025 roku razem z Nutką – obie były wtedy bardzo wycofane, przerażone i zagubione. Nie znamy ich historii, ale patrząc na ich lęk, można było się domyślać, że nie zaznały w życiu zbyt wiele dobra… Dziś Tosia to zupełnie inny psiak. Coraz śmielej wita gości schroniska, a stałym bywalcom pozwala się pogłaskać. W jej oczach pojawiła się radość, a ogonek coraz częściej merda z ekscytacji. To piękne patrzeć, jak z dnia na dzień nabiera odwagi i zaczyna wierzyć, że człowiek może być kimś dobrym. Świetnie dogaduje się z innymi psami, ale widać, że najmocniej związana jest z Nutką – jej obecność daje Tosi poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Przy kimś, komu ufa, Tosia naprawdę rozkwita. To młoda sunia, która zrobiła już ogromne postępy. Potrzebuje jednak domu kochającego, cierpliwego i odpowiedzialnego – takiego, który będzie wspierał ją w dalszym otwieraniu się na świat. Gdy zaufa… odda całe swoje serce. Może to właśnie Ty pokażesz Tosi, że najlepsze dopiero przed nią? Jeśli masz w sobie cierpliwość, ciepło i otwarte serce – Tosia czeka właśnie na Ciebie.

About Tosia

What life with Tosia looks like

Tosia is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Oaza dla Zwierząt Mielec 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 Tosia, answered.

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