How do I contact the shelter about Andrzej?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Gliwice handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Andrzej on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Andrzej if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Gliwice 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 Andrzej 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 Andrzej 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 Gliwice early rather than rehoming privately; they know Andrzej 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.

He finds the most comfort and security around females, as he feels safest and most secure with them. With males, he needs time to get to know them, as he has a strong need to "protect" his caregiver and be close to her. His behavior towards other dogs varies; he usually keeps a distance, though there are exceptions where he might like someone and tolerate their company. He has one crooked paw, a reminder of an old injury, which only adds to his charm and uniqueness. He manages well in daily life and this doesn't hinder his functioning. Andrzej values peace and comfort. He likes to lie down, observe the world, and have his own safe place. But he also has another side to his nature; sometimes he can "sparkle" and run like a little race car. We are looking for a calm, aware, and patient home for him that will give him time to build relationships and show him that the world can be truly good.

About Andrzej

What life with Andrzej looks like

Andrzej is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Gliwice 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.
