ARCHI

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Archie is a 7-year-old, large dog (approx. 40 kg) who came to the shelter in very difficult circumstances - he was tied up at the shelter gate. He is a true warrior who, despite his difficult experiences, still manages to enjoy life. Archie is very energetic, cheerful and full of life - he loves walks, running and... swimming! Water is his element, and every opportunity to swim in a lake or river makes him unable to resist jumping into the water. Archie underwent eye surgery, but it does not pose any difficulties for him. He still fully enjoys life and can move well in his surroundings. However, although he is cheerful and full of energy, Archie does not like other dogs. Therefore, he would feel best at home, where he would be the only pet. He requires peace and adequate support in stressful situations - he is afraid of noises, such as loud sounds or sudden movements. This is a dog that will fully trust only those who provide him with a sense of security and stability. Archie is very loyal to people who love him, but he may be a bit cautious at first contact. He needs time to adapt, but if he feels confident, he will be a wonderful companion. We are looking for someone who can devote time to Archie, give him a sense of security, and understand that he may need support in dealing with noise anxiety. If you are a patient, responsible person who loves water adventures, Archie will be grateful for a second chance. Archie is vaccinated, dewormed and ready for adoption.

Archi to 7-letni, duży pies (ok. 40 kg), który trafił do schroniska w bardzo trudnych okolicznościach – został przywiązany pod bramą schroniska. To prawdziwy wojownik, który pomimo trudnych doświadczeń wciąż potrafi cieszyć się życiem. Archi jest bardzo energiczny, radosny i pełen życia – uwielbia spacery, bieganie i… pływanie! Woda to jego żywioł, a każda okazja do kąpieli w jeziorze czy rzece sprawia, że nie może się powstrzymać przed skokiem do wody. Archi przeszedł operację oczu, ale nie stanowi to dla niego żadnych trudności. Nadal w pełni cieszy się życiem i potrafi świetnie poruszać się w otoczeniu. Jednakże, mimo że jest wesoły i pełen energii, Archi nie przepada za innymi psami. W związku z tym najlepiej czułby się w domu, gdzie będzie jedynym pupilem. Wymaga spokoju i odpowiedniego wsparcia w sytuacjach stresowych – boi się hałasów, takich jak głośne dźwięki czy nagłe ruchy. To pies, który w pełni zaufa jedynie tym, którzy zapewnią mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa i stabilności. Archi jest bardzo lojalny wobec osób, które go kochają, ale przy pierwszym kontakcie może być nieco ostrożny. Potrzebuje czasu na adaptację, ale jeśli tylko poczuje się pewnie, będzie wspaniałym towarzyszem. Dla Archiego szukamy osoby, która będzie w stanie poświęcić mu czas, dać mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa, a także zrozumieć, że może potrzebować wsparcia w radzeniu sobie z lękiem przed hałasem. Jeśli jesteś osobą cierpliwą, odpowiedzialną i kochasz wodne przygody, Archi będzie Ci wdzięczny za drugą szansę. Archi jest zaszczepiony, odrobaczony i gotowy do adopcji.

About ARCHI

What life with ARCHI looks like

ARCHI is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami 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. Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, and adopters often cover transport. Confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting ARCHI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ARCHI?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ARCHI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ARCHI if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami whether they will for ARCHI, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ARCHI already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami lists ARCHI as vaccinated. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if ARCHI isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know ARCHI 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.
