How do I contact the shelter about Andy?

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

Can I adopt Andy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu 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 Andy 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 Andy 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 dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Andy 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.

Andy

Male · Young · 3 years

Andy is a shepherd mix who loves people with all his heart. If you’re looking for a companion who absolutely adores being close to humans and would happily stay by your side every single step of the way, Andy is the perfect match. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t worry about personal space and will seize every opportunity to cuddle, show affection, and simply be close to you. In everyday life, he’s a super-friendly buddy who’s always smiling. On walks, he does a wonderful job keeping a loose leash. He’s an adorable dog who keeps glancing at his human caregiver, approaching to make contact, or politely asking for a tasty treat. Most of the time spent outdoors with him is pure relaxation and peace. However, it’s important to remember that Andy can sometimes feel a bit uncertain and really needs his human’s support in those moments. The most challenging situations for him are encounters with other dogs on the trail, as he can get very excited and pull with all his might toward them. For this reason, we’re looking for someone with the right strength—someone who can physically hold him steady and gently steer him away when necessary. Andy is incredibly smart, and it’s clear that he’s making a real effort, because with each outing, he’s getting better and better at passing other dogs without any issues. This gentle and lovable dog is seeking a stable and patient guardian. In return, he’ll give you his whole heart and become the best friend you could ever dream of.

Andy to mix owczarka, który kocha ludzi całym sercem. Jeśli szukasz towarzysza, który uwielbia być blisko człowieka i najchętniej nie odstępowałby Cię na krok, Andy będzie strzałem w dziesiątkę. To typ, który nie przejmuje się pojęciem przestrzeni osobistej i każdą okazję wykorzysta na wspólne przytulanie, czułości i po prostu bycie blisko. Na co dzień to super kumpel, który wiecznie się uśmiecha. Na spacerach pięknie pilnuje luźnej smyczy. To kochany psiak, który co chwilę zerka na opiekuna, podchodzi, żeby nawiązać kontakt, albo grzecznie prosi o jakiegoś smaczka. Większość czasu na dworze z nim to po prostu czysty relaks i spokój. Trzeba jednak pamiętać, że Andy bywa czasem trochę niepewny i wtedy bardzo potrzebuje wsparcia swojego człowieka. Najtrudniejsze są dla niego spotkania z innymi psami na trasie, bo potrafi się wtedy mocno nakręcić i pociągnąć z całej siły w ich stronę. Z tego względu szukamy dla niego kogoś z odpowiednią krzepą, kto fizycznie da sobie radę go przytrzymać i odciągnąć w takich momentach. Andy jest niesamowicie mądry i widać, że bardzo się stara, bo z każdym wyjściem coraz lepiej radzi sobie z mijaniem innych psiaków. Ten łagodny i przekochany pies szuka stabilnego oraz cierpliwego opiekuna. W zamian odda Ci całe swoje serduszko i będzie najwspanialszym przyjacielem, jakiego można sobie wymarzyć.

About Andy

What life with Andy looks like

Andy is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

An young 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.
