Bonita

Mixed Breed · Female

Temperament: Bonita is an elderly lady who is very cheerful and enjoys every moment spent with a person. She loves to be petted, and whenever she is next to a person she immediately offers herself for affection. When the petting stops, she demands more by scratching with her paw or climbing onto the knees. She is likely almost completely blind, as she walks into walls or other objects, but she is not bothered by this and confidently marches forward, curious about the world. Other dogs ignore her or sniff her, she would adjust very well in a home with another dog, and even a cat. Unfortunately, most likely due to neglect from the previous owner, Bonita has somewhat impaired kidneys as they should be. She is currently on wet renal food, but once she moves into a home, it could be considered to switch to cooked food - of course after consulting with a veterinarian. Bonita is looking for a home where she will experience peace and kindness.

Usposobienie: Bonita 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 small 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. 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 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.
