How do I contact the shelter about Arnold?

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

Can I adopt Arnold if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla zwierząt Włocławek 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 Arnold 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 Arnold 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 Włocławek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arnold 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.

Arnold

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Arnold is a friendly, active dog who is about 10 years old. He has a rough, beige and reddish coat and a face that resembles a Shih Tzu, but is larger and has a longer body. Arnold is a senior dog and has lost some of his teeth and has hearing problems. However, this does not stop him from enjoying life! Arnold is a happy and active dog. He was labeled as an "aggressor" when he arrived at the shelter, but it quickly became clear that he is either deaf or has hearing problems, and therefore does not like sudden touch, which he does not expect. He just needs to see the person first. Therefore, he was initially scared and did not know what was happening, but he quickly realized that the caregivers at the shelter were not bad. He likes to go for walks, sniff, explore, and even likes to run around on the playground. Arnold is also a cuddler. If he has already met someone, he tries hard to get their attention, jumps with joy, flatters, and climbs onto their lap. It seems that Arnold is gentle towards other dogs. He would do better with calm friends who will not run up to him suddenly and tease him. Because he is deaf and does not react well to sudden touch, we do not recommend him for a home with young children. Arnold is the perfect dog for people who want to adopt a senior, but also look for an active dog that likes to move. We are sure that he will become someone's devoted companion for the rest of his life. Arnold is registered under the number 12948/162/24. He has been vaccinated against rabies and infectious diseases and has been microchipped. He has undergone a castration procedure. If you are interested in adopting him, please contact us by phone at 530-779-523 or 54 233-20-21.

ARNOLD. Arnold to niezbyt duży psiak w wieku około 10 lat o szorstkiej, beżowo-rudawej sierści. Z pyszczka przypomina nieco shih tsu, jest jednak większy i ma dłuższy korpus. Arnoldzik jest już psim seniorkiem, brak mu części zębów i ma problemy ze słuchem (o ile słyszy cokolwiek). Czy to przeszkadza mu w cieszeniu się życiem? Absolutnie nie! Arnold to radosny, aktywny piesek. Trafił do nas z łatką "agresora", szybko jednak okazało się, że niedosłyszy lub nie słyszy wcale, a co za tym idzie - nie lubi nagłego dotyku, którego się nie spodziewa. On po prostu musi najpierw zobaczyć człowieka W związku z powyższym, początkowo był wystraszony i nie wiedział, co się dzieje, jednak bardzo szybko przekonał się, że opiekunowie w schronisku nie są źli. Chętnie wychodzi na spacery, węszy, zwiedza i odkrywa, a nawet lubi poszaleć na wybiegu. Arnoldzik jest też pieszczochem. Jeśli już kogoś poznał, to mocno zabiega o jego względy, skacze z radości, przymila się i pakuje na kolana. Wydaje się, że Arnold jest łagodny w stosunku do innych psów. Na pewno lepiej odnajdzie się wśród spokojnych kolegów, którzy nie będą podbiegać do niego znienacka i go zaczepiać. Z uwagi na to, że niedosłyszy i źle reaguje na nagły dotyk, nie polecamy go do domu, w którym są małe dzieci. Arnold to idealny pies dla osób, które chciałyby przygarnąć seniora, a jednocześnie szukają psiaka aktywnego, lubiącego ruch. Jesteśmy pewni, że zostanie czyimś oddanym towarzyszem do końca życia Arnold zarejestrowany jest pod numerem 12948/162/24. Został zaszczepiony przeciwko wściekliźnie i chorobom zakaźnym oraz zaczipowany. Przeszedł zabieg kastracji. Osoby zainteresowane adopcją prosimy o kontakt na numer telefonu 530-779-523 lub 54 233-20-21

About Arnold

What life with Arnold looks like

Arnold is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla zwierząt Włocławek in Poland.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.
