Your new furry roommate is finally home. It’s the moment most future pet guardians have been looking forward to — excitement, joy, those first shared moments, and the feeling that everything will now naturally fall into place.
But very often, this is also when the first doubts begin to appear.
In the next episode of the “New Four-Legged Roommate” series, we talk about the first days after adoption. About the emotions experienced by both animals and humans, the gap between expectations and reality, and why patience is often one of the most important ingredients in building a lasting bond.
Together with Jola Jurkiewicz-Azab, creator of the Jelenie w Terenie we explore situations that frequently surprise new pet guardians at the very beginning of their journey. We discuss the signs worth paying attention to and those that may seem alarming but are often a natural part of the adjustment process.
This episode is for anyone considering adoption, as well as those who have recently welcomed a new companion into their home and find themselves wondering whether everything is going the way it should.

"A New Four-Legged Roommate - Adopting a Dog or Cat with a Head and a Heart" is a conversation series created as part of the #ZNapędemNa4Łapy project. Honest, thoughtful, and full of care, we talk about pet adoption without sugarcoating, but with great respect and heart. We discuss decisions, emotions, responsibility, and the relationship that begins long before the day a dog or cat crosses the threshold of your home.
Joining us in our conversations is Jolanta Jurkiewicz-Azab, a theriologist and long-time animal advocate who has worked closely with rescue organizations and adoption processes for years. If anyone has seen the many realities of adoption behind the scenes, it’s her.
Before you adopt - listen first.
