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. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting ARCHI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ARCHI?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami 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 ARCHI 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 ARCHI 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 Stalowowolskie Stowarzyszenie Opieki nad Zwierzętami 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.
