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

Mixed Breed · Male

Temperament: Andy is a German Shepherd mix who loves people with all his heart. If you are looking for a companion who adores being close to a person and would rather not leave your side for a step, Andy will be a perfect match. He is the type of dog that does not care about personal space and will take every opportunity to cuddle, show affection and just be close. In daily life he is a super buddy who is always smiling. During walks he nicely watches the loose leash. He is a beloved dog who constantly looks at his caregiver, approaches to make contact or politely asks for a treat. Most of the time, spending time with Andy is pure relaxation and peace. However, it should be remembered that Andy can sometimes be a bit uncertain and then needs a lot of support from his human. The hardest things for him are encounters with other dogs on the route, because he can get very excited and pull strongly towards them. For this reason, we are looking for someone with the right strength who can physically hold him back and pull him away in such moments. Andy is incredibly smart and it is obvious that he is trying very hard, because with each outing he is getting better at passing other dogs. This gentle and loveable dog is looking for a stable and patient caregiver. In return, he will give you his whole little heart and will be the best friend you could ever dream of.

Usposobienie: 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 adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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.
