Animal shelters in Poland, specifically in Konin and Świdnica, are intensifying efforts to find homes for resident animals as winter approaches.

In Konin, facilities are seeking adopters for various dogs and cats, including specific animals such as Maja, Zinc, Sasko, Ramen, Jusia, Gawron, Franek, and Goliat. Staff are also focused on locating owners for recently found animals.

In Świdnica, the Ecological Action Center ‘Źródła’ is using the upcoming Mixed-breed Dog Day on October 25 to promote responsible pet ownership. Representatives noted that mixed-breed dogs often comprise the majority of shelter populations and are frequently subject to neglect or abandonment, while emphasizing that these animals are often more resilient than purebreds.
