Bonita

Female · Senior · 11 years

Karma: Renal (wet) Health condition: kidney failure—details will be discussed directly with the veterinarian at the shelter.Bonita is an elderly lady who is incredibly cheerful and delights in every moment spent with humans. She absolutely loves being petted; whenever she’s near a person, she immediately leans in for affection. When you stop petting her, she’ll ask for more by gently pawing at you or climbing onto your lap. She’s likely almost completely blind, as she sometimes bumps into walls or other objects—but she doesn’t let that bother her and marches confidently ahead, curious about the world around her. She ignores or sniffs other dogs, so she’d do very well in a home with another dog, or even a cat. Unfortunately, due to neglect by her previous owner, Bonita probably has kidneys that aren’t functioning quite as they should. Right now, she’s on Renal wet food, but once she finds her forever home, it might be worth considering cooked meals—of course, after consulting with a veterinarian. Bonita is looking for a home where she can experience peace and tenderness. She’s seeking someone who can provide her with a sense of security and endless belly rubs 🙂

Karma: Renal (mokra) Stan zdrowia: niewydolność nerek – szczegóły omówione zostaną bezpośrednio z weterynarzem w schroniskuBonita to starsza dama, która jest bardzo radosna i cieszy się z każdego momentu spędzonego z człowiekiem. Uwielbia być głaskana, gdy tylko jest obok człowieka to już się nadstawia do pieszczot. Kiedy przestanie się ją drapać, domaga się więcej drapiąc łapką lub gramoląc się na kolana. Najprawdopodobniej jest prawie całkowicie ślepa, ponieważ wchodzi w ściany lub inne obiekty, ale nie przejmuje się tym i żwawo maszeruje przed siebie ciekawa świata. Inne pieski ignoruje lub obwąchuje, odnalazłaby się bardzo dobrze w domu z innym psem, a nawet z kotem. Niestety najprawdopodobniej w wyniku zaniedbania ze strony poprzedniego właściciela Bonita ma nie do końca sprawne nerki tak jak powinny być. Aktualnie jest na mokrej karmie Renal, ale po trafieniu do domu można by się zastanowić nad gotowanym jedzeniem – oczywiście po konsultacji z weterynarzem. Bonita szuka domu gdzie zazna spokoju oraz czułości. Szuka kogoś, kto zapewni jej poczucie bezpieczeństwa i nieskończonego drapania po zadku 🙂

About Bonita

What life with Bonita looks like

Bonita is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇱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 Bonita, answered.

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