AKIS

Male · Senior · 10 years

DOG AKIS OK. 10 YEARS 932001000586186 (615/18) VACCINATIONS: YES neutering: YES short crop: dog mature, active, and intelligent, needing movement, regular walks, and contact with a caregiver, loyal and strongly attached to known people, valuing closeness but requiring respect for his boundaries, home without small children, for adopters aware and active. Akis is a dog whose character and positive energy stand in stark contrast to the prejudices his posture and build may evoke. This animal thrives on movement – physical activity is not just a form of play for him but also a way of communicating, releasing emotions, and maintaining mental balance. Although his youth is behind him, he still eagerly takes on activities, and the sight of a ball invariably sparks his lively interest. After the quiet, Akis shows his more peaceful side. He seeks contact with a human, willingly resting in their company and enjoying gentle caresses. In relation to the caregiver, Akis is a loyal and devoted dog, but – like many dogs after transitions – he needs clearly defined rules and consequences while his boundaries are still respected. Akis had a brief stay at home, but circumstances forced him to return to the animal shelter, which was a difficult moment for him. Currently, he requires a stable environment that will allow him to gradually rebuild his sense of security. For Akis, we are looking for a home: without small children, for the safety and comfort of the dog, with adopters aware, understanding the needs of a dog after difficult experiences, and ready to give him time to adapt, active, who will value Akis as a companion for regular walks and moderate activity. Akis is a valuable, mature dog with the potential to become a faithful and stable companion. He waits for a caregiver who will look at him not through the prism of previous adoption failures or appearance but will see in him a dog in need of understanding, patience, and responsible handling.

PIES AKIS OK. 10 LAT 932001000586186 (615/18) SZCZEPIENIA: TAK KASTRACJA: TAK krótka ściąga: pies dojrzały, aktywny i inteligentny, potrzebuje ruchu, regularnych spacerów i kontaktu z opiekunem, lojalny i silnie przywiązujący się do znanych osób, ceni bliskość, ale wymaga poszanowania swoich granic, dom bez małych dzieci, dla opiekunów świadomych i aktywnych. Akis to pies, którego charakter i pozytywna energia stoją w wyraźnym kontraście do uprzedzeń, jakie może budzić jego postura i budowa. To zwierzę, które najlepiej funkcjonuje w ruchu – aktywność fizyczna jest dla niego nie tylko formą zabawy, ale także sposobem komunikacji, rozładowania emocji i zachowania równowagi psychicznej. Mimo że młodzieńcze lata ma już za sobą, nadal chętnie podejmuje aktywności, a widok piłki niezmiennie wywołuje u niego żywe zainteresowanie. Po wyciszeniu Akis pokazuje swoją spokojniejszą stronę. Szuka kontaktu z człowiekiem, chętnie odpoczywa w jego towarzystwie i lubi spokojne pieszczoty. W relacji z opiekunem jest psem lojalnym i oddanym, jednak – jak wiele psów po przejściach – potrzebuje jasno wyznaczonych zasad oraz konsekwencji, przy jednoczesnym poszanowaniu jego granic. Akis ma za sobą doświadczenie krótkiego pobytu w domu, jednak okoliczności sprawiły, że musiał wrócić do schroniska, co było dla niego trudnym momentem.Obecnie wymaga stabilnego środowiska, które pozwoli mu stopniowo odbudować poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Dla Akisa szukamy domu: bez małych dzieci, z uwagi na bezpieczeństwo i komfort psa, z opiekunami świadomymi, rozumiejącymi potrzeby psa po trudnych doświadczeniach i gotowymi dać mu czas na adaptację, aktywnego, który doceni Akisa jako towarzysza regularnych spacerów i umiarkowanej aktywności. Akis to wartościowy, dojrzały pies, który ma potencjał stać się wiernym i stabilnym towarzyszem. Czeka na opiekuna, który spojrzy na niego nie przez pryzmat wcześniejszego niepowodzenia adopcyjnego czy wyglądu, lecz dostrzeże w nim psa potrzebującego zrozumienia, cierpliwości i odpowiedzialnego prowadzenia.

About AKIS

What life with AKIS looks like

AKIS is a senior dog waiting at Schronisko Promyk Gdańsk in Gdansk.

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 AKIS, answered.

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