Blacky

Male · Young · 1 year

Blacky is a full of energy, cheerful and cooperative dog. He quickly opens up to new people, often asking for scratches or inviting to play. He is still very young and therefore needs a lot of exercise and various activities such as scent games. He quickly picks up new rules or commands, and for treats he would give anything. On a walk he can pull a bit, but as he gets further away from the shelter, he gradually lets go. He also checks from time to time if the owner is following him. He probably has a lack of socialization with other dogs - when leaving the box he barks at neighbors, and on a walk at dogs that bark at him. He can ignore and pass dogs that ignore him. Blacky is looking for active, responsible owners who will be ready to meet his dog needs.

PL·Show original

Blacky to pełen energii, wesoły i nastawiony na współpracę z człowiekiem psiak. Bardzo szybko otwiera się na nowych ludzi, często prosząc o drapanko czy zapraszając do zabawy. Jest jeszcze bardzo młody i w związku z tym potrzebuje dużo ruchu i różnych aktywności typu zabawy węchowe. W mig łapie nowe zasady czy komendy, a za smaczki dałby się pokroić. Na spacerze potrafi trochę ciągnąć, jednak w miarę oddalania się od schroniska, stopniowo odpuszcza. Co jakiś czas też sprawdza, czy opiekun idzie za nim. Prawdopodobnie ma braki w socjalizacji z innymi psami – przy wyjściu z boksu szczeka na sąsiadów, a na spacerze na psy, które również na niego szczekają. Potrafi zignorować i ładnie minąć psy, które go ignorują. Blacky szuka aktywnych, odpowiedzialnych opiekunów, którzy będą gotowi spełniać jego psie potrzeby.

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Blacky, answered.

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