Bodzio

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

What a terrible experience the dog must have had at home, considering how delighted he is now in the shelter! When Bodzio first came to us, he was huddled behind a kennel. He wouldn’t step onto the exercise yard, and whenever anyone tried to approach him, he’d tremble with fear and attempt to run away. Just two weeks were enough for him to realize that no one here would ever hit him. Two weeks of regular meals and daily outings from his kennel—and suddenly, Bodzio had transformed into a cuddly little sweetheart. It seems he’s still a bit wary of tall men, but he snuggles up happily to female volunteers and smaller-statured men. We’re also thrilled to report that Bodzio has grown to enjoy forest walks—though perhaps still a bit shy at first, he now knows that the forest is an exciting place full of wonderful scents, from a dog who never left his kennel to one who now happily goes for walks on a leash. Isn’t that just wonderful? Contact: 691 537 446, 697 816 279 Gender: male Year of birth: 2021 Size: large Neutered: yes We want to find the very best possible home for him, so we’ll ask interested adopters to fill out an adoption questionnaire: kundellos.pl/ankieta-adopcyjna/ By adopting a dog, you’re taking responsibility for the life of a living creature for the next dozen or so years. An animal is not a thing. We don’t give dogs away on chains! A condition of adoption is signing an adoption agreement, covering the costs of preventive care, and agreeing to possible pre- and post-adoption visits. Another requirement is having the dog spayed or neutered within the agreed timeframe—if this procedure hasn’t already been performed.

🏠 Przebywa w schronisku na sektorze DJak wielka krzywda musiała spotkać psa w domu, gdy jest zachwycony schroniskiem? Gdy Bodzio do nas trafił, siedział skulony za budą. Nie wychodził na wybieg, przy próbie kontaktu trząsł się ze strachu i próbował uciekać. Dwa tygodnie wystarczyły, żeby zorientował się, że nikt tu go nie bije. Dwa tygodnie regularnego jedzenia i wypuszczania codziennie z boksu i Bodzio zamienił się w pieszczocha. Wydaje się, że nadal obawia się postawnych mężczyzn, ale do wolontariuszek-kobiet oraz drobniejszej budowy mężczyzn przytula się zachwycony. Możemy się już również pochwalić, że Bodzio przekonał się do spacerków po lesie może jeszcze nieco nieśmiało, ale już wie, że las to ciekawe miejsce pełne wspaniałych zapachów od psa niewychodzącego z budy do psa chodzącego na spacery na smyczy, czy to nie cudownie?

Zwierzę nie jest rzeczą. Nie wydajemy psów na łańcuch! Warunkiem adopcji jest podpisanie umowy adopcyjnej, zwrot kosztów profilaktyki oraz zgoda na ewentualne wizyty przed i poadopcyjne. Warunkiem adopcji jest też wykonanie zabiegu sterylizacji/kastracji w ustalonym terminie, o ile zabieg ten nie był wykonany wcześniej

About Bodzio

What life with Bodzio looks like

Bodzio is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Józefowie in Józefów.

An 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 Bodzio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bodzio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Józefowie handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bodzio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bodzio if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Józefowie 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 Bodzio 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 Bodzio 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 Józefowie early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bodzio 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.
