Balto

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Balto is a large, loving bear. He is a calm, steady older gentleman who loves people, children, water, and rolling in the grass. He approaches everyone with curiosity and calmness. He doesn't react much to other dogs. He is a dog with whom a person simply slows down and enjoys a walk together. And Balto loves walks! The only important rule is: we walk, we don't stand! If a person talks too long or admires the views, Balto can bark with a face that says: "Okay... let's go!" Because of his hind legs, he prefers quiet, not too long walks. So we are looking for a house or apartment preferably on the ground floor, without the need to climb many stairs. Balto is a wonderful, calm, mature dog. A real steady older gentleman who no longer needs wildness. He needs his human, a comfortable place to sleep, walks, grass to roll in, and a sense that he is finally at home. And he has a special language - a bit like a chow chow, but his own, taciaty. Maybe someone is waiting for Balto? Volunteer Marzena: 695 495 130 SEE OTHER DOGS FOR ADOPTION

Spokojny, stateczny starszy Pan, który uwielbia ludzi, dzieci, wodę i... porządne tarzanie się w trawie. (e Do każdego podchodzi z ciekawością i spokojem. Na inne psy raczej nie reaguje. To psiak, przy którym człowiek po prostu zwalnia i cieszy się wspólnym spacerem. A spacery Balto lubi bardzo! fa Tylko jedna ważna zasada: idziemy, a nie stoimy! Jeśli człowiek za długo prowadzi rozmowy albo podziwia widoki, Balto potrafi szczeknąć z miną mówiącą: „No dobra... idziemy?" Ze względu na tylne tapki najlepsze będą dla niego spokojne, niezbyt długie spacery. Szukamy więc domu lub mieszkania najlepiej na parterze, bez konieczności pokonywania wielu schodów. Balto jest cudownym, spokojnym, dojrzałym psem. Takim prawdziwym statecznym starszym Panem, który nie potrzebuje już szaleństw. Potrzebuje swojego człowieka, wygodnego miejsca do spania, spacerów, trawy do tarzania i poczucia, że wreszcie jest u siebie. A na dokładkę ma wyjątkowy język - trochę jak u chow chow, tylko taki jego własny, taciaty. Może właśnie na Balto ktoś z Was czeka?

About Balto

What life with Balto looks like

Balto is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Gliwice in Poland.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Balto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Balto?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Gliwice handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Balto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Balto if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Gliwice 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Balto 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 Balto 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 Gliwice early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balto 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.
