How do I contact the shelter about Billy?

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

Can I adopt Billy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Choszczno 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 Billy 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 Billy 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 Choszczno early rather than rehoming privately; they know Billy 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.

Billy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Billy, almost a Chihuahua, is waiting for his people at the Shelter. This 5 kg little guy came to us on May 15th. He was found and no one claimed him. A month of quarantine has passed and we can now advertise him. Billy loves humans. He's great on walks, he's brave and confidently goes through the world. Unfortunately, at the Shelter he has a big problem with other dogs, he likes to yell at his peers in the enclosure and on walks. Does it result from difficult conditions and overstimulation? Will this disappear in domestic conditions when he is rested and relaxed? Or will it be something that needs to be worked through with Billy under the guidance of a behaviorist? We don't know. What we do know is that you always have to assume the worst-case scenario and expect situations that require effort, time and money to help Billy get back on track. Billy is about 2 years old, he has been neutered. We are looking for a responsible home ready to work with this sweetie pie if needed. More information: Volunteer Karolina, 501 If you want to help the dog but can't adopt him - we invite you on walks! From Tuesday to Sunday, during .

Niestety w Schronisku ma duży problem z innymi psami, na wybiegu i na spacerach lubi pokrzyczeć na swoich pobratymców. Czy wynika to z trudnych warunków i przebodźcowania?

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

Billy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Choszczno in Poland.

An young 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.
