Adopt ALANEK

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 5 years

ALANEK - large, nice dog is looking for a smart home. One of the dogs rescued from hell called animal shelter in Bystrej. Alanek is about 8 years old and is a big 35 kg dog. He is very intelligent and eager to learn new things, basic commands are in his little finger. He loves walks in the forest, he will also gladly enter the lake. Riding in a car is no problem for him. He is a strong and large dog, so he can also pull the caregiver on the leash. Left alone in the garden out of boredom, he sometimes jumps over more than one fence. He is expressive with his feelings towards his caregivers and once he gets used to a person, he can walk without a leash and will come back when called. He is not a runaway type. However, due to his size, he is not suitable for a home with children. In excitement, he can jump on faces or nibble hands. He is a nice dog but needs a smart and experienced guide. On walks, he passes calmly, and there is also no problem with bicycles or cars. He tolerates gentle and submissive female dogs, but can be possessive about food, so it would be best if he was the only pet in the house. We are looking for a smart, nice home for Alan who would like to have a wonderful friend. Alan, once he gives his heart, gives it forever. Maybe it's you? Alanek is under the care of OTOZ Animals animal shelter in Tczew. Shelter registration number: 384/21 Male is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and neutered. Call the animal shelter and ask about adoption: email:

ALANEK - duży, fajny pies szuka mądrego domku Jeden z psiaków uratowanych z piekła zwanego schroniskiem w Bystrej. Alanek ma około 8 lat i jest sporym 35 kg psem. Jest bardzo inteligentny z chęcią uczy się nowych rzeczy, podstawowe komendy ma w małym paluszku. Uwielbia wycieczki po lasach, z chęcią wejdzie również do jeziora. Jazda samochodem nie sprawia mu problemów. To silny i duży pies dlatego potrafi też przeciągnąć opiekuna na smyczy. Pozostawiony sam sobie w ogrodzie z nudów zdarza mu się przeskoczyć niejedno ogrodzenie. Do swoich opiekunów jest wylewny w uczuciach i gdy już przyzwiczai się do człowieka, potrafi chodzić bez smyczy i daje się nawołać na powrót. Nie jest typem uciekiniera. Jednak ze względu na swoje gabaryty, nie nadaje się do domu z dziećmi. W ekcytacji potrafi podskoczyć do twarzy lub podgryzać ręce. To fajny pies lecz potrzebuje mądrego i doświadczonego przewodnika. Przy na spacerze mija ze spokojem, nie ma również problemu z rowerami czy autami. Toleruje łagodne i uległe suczki, jednak potrafi być zaborczy przy jedzeniu dlatego najlepiej jeżeli byłby jednym zwierzakiem w domu. Szukamy dla Alanka mądrego, fajnego domu, który chciałby mieć cudownego przyjaciela. Alan gdy już odda swoje serce to już na zawsze. Może właśnie Tobie? Alanek przebywa pod opieką OTOZ Animals Schroniska w Tczewie. Numer ewidencyjny w schronisku: 384/21 Samiec jest zaszczepiony, zachipowany, odrobaczony i wykastrowany.

About ALANEK

What life with ALANEK looks like

ALANEK is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Tczewie in Poland.

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 ALANEK, answered.

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