Bandzior

Mixed Breed · Male

Bandziu has a difficult past. Initially, he kept people away from him, and it took some time before work with him began outside the box. Currently, several people say he is one of the most wonderful dogs they have ever met. He is a very intelligent dog who communicates clearly with both people and other animals. His biggest motivation is toys - especially balls or stuffed animals. He also works very well with wet food. Walks with him are a pleasure - the leash is almost never tight, and Bandzior can adjust his pace to match that of a person. He really likes to sniff and roll around, mainly in mud and water. Walking in a large pool at the animal shelter or in a pond is a huge joy for him. He also reacts well to the reward command with a clicker and responds to his name (in various endearments) and is responsive in 90% of cases. He loves to carry a toy in his mouth during walks, and he can also relax and calm down with it if he gets scared by something. After walks, he loves cuddles in the box, petting, lying together and hugging. He is then very gentle in contact and actively seeks attention. He knows commands such as: sit, paw, second paw, hop (he places two paws on an outstretched hand) and wait. He nicely targets a human hand when he wants to play. He bravely endures visits to the veterinary clinic beside his volunteers and, when necessary, also tolerates the temporary use of a muzzle. However, he is not fully trained. Bandzior does have some phobias, especially he is afraid and often reactively responds to men with beards. He feels very uncertain around them. For Bandziorka, we are looking for a home:

Bandziu ma za sobą trudną przeszłość. Początkowo odstraszał od siebie i minęło trochę czasu zanim rozpoczęto z nim pracę poza boksem. W tej chwili kilka osób twierdzi, że jest jednym z wspanialszych psów z jakim miały do czynienia. To bardzo inteligentny pies, który bardzo czytelnie komunikuje się zarówno z ludźmi jak i innymi zwierzętami. Jego największą motywacją są zabawki – zwłaszcza piłki lub pluszaki. Bardzo ładnie pracuje też na mokrą karmę. Spacery z nim to przyjemność – smycz prawie nigdy się nie napina, a Bandzior potrafi dostosować swoje tempo – do tempa człowieka. Bardzo lubi węszyć i tarzać się, głównie w błocie i wodzie. Brodzenie w dużym basenie na terenie Schroniska lub w stawie – to dla niego ogromna frajda. Świetnie reaguje też na hasło do nagrody w postaci klikera oraz reaguje na swoje imię (w różnych zdrobnieniach) i w 90% jest na nie odwoływalny. Uwielbia podczas spacerów nosić zabawkę w pysku, może się też dzięki niej odstresować i uspokoić jeśli czegoś się wystraszy. Po spacerach uwielbia czułostki w boksie, głaskanie, wspólne leżenie i przytulanie. Jest wtedy bardzo delikatny w kontakcie i sam ubiega się o uwagę. Zna komendy takie jak: siad, łapa, druga łapa, hop (opiera dwie łapy na wystawionej ręce) i czekaj. Bardzo ładnie targetuje ludzką dłoń, gdy chce się bawić. Dzielnie znosi wizyty w gabinecie weterynaryjnym u boku swoich wolontariuszek i kiedy jest potrzeba – toleruje też założenie kagańca na ten czas. Nie ma go jednak wypracowanego w 100%. Bandzior posiada jednak kilka fobii, przede wszystkim boi się i często reaktywnie reaguje na mężczyzn z zarostem. Czuje się przy nich bardzo niepewnie. Dla Bandziorka szukamy domu: ♡ aktywnego ♡ chcącego kontynuować pracy z psem ♡ nie bojącego się możliwych szkód w pierwszym okresie po przeprowadzce psa ♡ bez małych dzieci ♡ rozumiejącego specyfikę ras amstaffowatych i otwartego na zdobywanie nowej wiedzy

About Bandzior

What life with Bandzior looks like

Bandzior is a large 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. 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 Bandzior, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bandzior?
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 Bandzior on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bandzior 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 Bandzior 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 Bandzior 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 Bandzior 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.
